The minister said that efforts are being made to activate the communication circuit with the lander and rover. This circuit is called wake up circuit. This will work when the temperature drops below minus 10 degrees. Now Team ISRO and all the people associated with the mission are waiting for the temperature to increase on this moon. As soon as the temperature on the Moon goes above minus 10 degrees, a wake-up call will be given and with this the lander Vikram and the rover Pragyan will wake up from their sleep.

Waiting for wake-up call to be activated

He said that the second stage of Chandrayaan-3 is going to start in the next few hours. We are waiting for the wake-up call to be activated and for Vikram and Pragyan to respond to that alarm. Once the wake up call is connected, Chandrayaan-3 will start communicating with Earth and we will be the first country in the world to do so.
