The space agency had already turned on the Spectro-polarimetry of HAbitable Planet Earth (SHAPE) payload on the propulsion module on
Sunday.Isro chairman S Somanath confirmed to TOI that the rover had begun to move on Thursday after its batteries were charged
The rover's movement will be restricted to be within the observational area
Both Vikram and Pragyan are designed to function for one lunar day (14 Earth days).On why the rover took more than four hours to roll out,

Of the 15 instruments, 8 are from the Chandrayaan-2 orbiter, which has been around the Moon since 2019

Terrain Mapping Camera (TMC), Imaging InfraRed Spectrometer (IIRS), Orbiter High Resolution Camera (OHRC) and Dual Frequency Synthetic

This was developed by the Physical Research Laboratory (PRL)
