Pragyan (Sanskrit: प्रज्ञान, romanized: prajñāna, lit. wisdom Pronunciation was the rover of Chandrayaan-2 and is the rover for the Chandrayaan-3 mission, two lunar missions developed by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO), Chandrayaan-2 launched on 22 July 2019.

Pragyan was destroyed along with its lander, Vikram, when it crash-landed on the Moon on 6 September 2019 and never got the chance to deploy. The launch of Chandrayaan-3 occurred on 14 July 2023, at 2:35 pm IST, and landed on the Moon on 23 August 2023.

The 26kg rover called Pragyaan (the Sanskrit word for wisdom) was carried to the Moon in the Vikram lander's belly.

It was landed on Moon 23/08/2023 at 6.04pm.
After landing 24/08/2023, panels on one side of Vikram opened to deploy a ramp to enable Pragyaan to slide down to the lunar surface.

It will now roam around the rocks and craters, gathering crucial data and images to be sent back to Earth for analysis.

Pragyaan is carrying two scientific instruments which will try to find out what minerals are present on the lunar surface and study the chemical composition of the soil.

Pragyaan will communicate only with the lander which will send the information to the orbiter from Chandrayaan-2 - which is still circling the Moon - to pass it on to the Earth for analysis.
