It looks so good!

I think the clarity problem is because this is a cropped image from their livestream, the real image should be much more clear. The rover is pretty heavy (26 kg) and the centre of mass is pretty low, so I doubt there will be any imbalance issue. I don't think the rover is controlled in real...

The three images presented to the Prime Minister

Correct. Or we can go the (easier) Japanese route of collecting from asteroids. Either way we need some samples to analyse for ourselves.

Maybe Vikram has taken higher-res videos and available onboard and maybe be released later? Possible, in which case they are waiting for Modi's visit to unveil them. We'll see in a few days.

This is what I was talking about. It would have been nice to get video like this of the rollout instead of choppy frames... Look how nice it looks. It is AI interpolated but it is done in a much better way.

They took the landing video from the Lander Imager Camera and the rolling out of the rover was also done by it. There is nothing wrong with the landing video. All I'm saying is that they could have had a small dedicated camera for Pragyan rollout. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Kindly tell me what the ignorance is? Just saying that the landing video could have been done better?

Literally nobody said ISRO scientists are morons, and nobody is criticising them for anything. Yes, they are more knowledgeable than all of us here, but that doesn't mean you have to justify each and everyone of their measures. Nobody is asking to record the landing in 4k 60fps, just something...

They definitely could have had a better camera onboard the lander there. For the rover it's understandable as they didn't want to overwhelm it but it's a massive missed opportunity to not film the landing/rollout entirely in something other than 480p 1fps.

We need a full sized one like Curiosity or Perseverance instead of a Sojourner class Pragyaan.

Because we don't have RHU or RTG technology, former helps to keep electronics warm in the lunar cold while the latter powers it during the lunar night.

Well Pragyaan is on the lunar surface now. Maybe moving too.

Yeah leave out all the negative press and bathmouthers. This is the time for celebration.

You can never please the casteheads.

Russia's is barely 2 billion, I bet half of that goes to somebody's vacation.

Literally the only upcoming research mission I care about. Venus is extremely underrated.
