What is Tiranga point on the Moon?

[ad_1] Now, on the Moon, there are two new spots with Indian names. One of them is the Tiranga Point and the other is the Shiv Shakti Point. The naming was done after Chandrayaan-3 landed on the South Pole of the lunar surface, a matter of great pride for all Indians. It is also yet another step ahead in the field of space exploration.Prime Minister Narendra Modi designated the spot where Chandrayaan-3 landed as Shiv Shakti Point and the point where Chandrayaan-2 crash-landed as the Tiranga Point on August 26. What is Tiranga Point?Named in honor of India's tricolor flag, the Tiranga Point was officially designated by PM Modi, at the ISTRAC headquarters in Bengaluru.

‘India, I reached my destination’: Chandrayaan-3 says after moon landing – the tech that made it all possible

[ad_1] It took India about four years, and one heartbreak to launch the Chandrayaan-3 mission on July 14, 2023. It was not easy after the Chandrayaan-2 Landing Module crashed onto the lunar surface in the very final stages. Perhaps, the fears were even higher this time around after Russia's Luna-25 mission met a similar fate just days ago. But the Indian spacecraft continued against all odds and succeeded. The country is now the 4th nation in the world to land on the lunar surface, and the first country in the world to reach the South Pole of the Moon. But none of it would have been possible without the shrewd tech upgrades made by the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO). The emotional release was quite evident as can be gauged from ISRO's latest tweet that said, “India, I reached...

“Welcome, buddy!” Chandrayaan-2 orbiter greets Chandrayaan-3 lander as they establish communication

[ad_1] In a significant development, the Chandrayaan-2 orbiter which was already fixed around the moon established a two-way connection with the lander module of Chandrayaan-3 on Monday.“‘Welcome, buddy!' Ch-2 orbiter formally welcomed Ch-3 LM (lander module). Two-way communication between the two is established. MOX (Mission Operations Complex) has now more routes to reach the LM,” ISRO posted on X, formerly Twitter. Chandrayaan-3 is set to land on the moon on August 23, 2023, around 18:04 IST.

Chandrayaan-3 launch: Mistakes ISRO wants to avoid during moon mission

[ad_1] Today, July 14, is going to be another historic day in India's space exploration journey. If everything goes according to plan, at 2:35 PM, the Chandrayaan-3 mission will be launched into space and will make a soft landing 42 days later, making India the 4th nation to land on the moon. The day is also reminiscent of July 22, 2019, when the Chandrayaan-2 mission was launched and the nation had hopes of fulfilling the same aspirations, but they came crashing down after the lander crashed on the moon. But the Indian Space and Research Organization (ISRO) is confident of success this time around because of its “failure-based” design. So, what are the mistakes that ISRO wants to avoid during the Chandrayaan-3 mission, the lessons it has learned, and what changes it has made to ensure ...

In a first, India’s Chandrayaan-2 spectrometer maps abundance of sodium on moon

[ad_1] X-ray spectrometer 'CLASS' on the Chandrayaan-2 has mapped an abundance of sodium on the moon, says ISRO. The X-ray spectrometer 'CLASS' on the Chandrayaan-2 orbiter has mapped an abundance of sodium on the moon for the first time, according to the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO).Chandrayaan-1 X-ray Fluorescence Spectrometer (C1XS) detected sodium from its characteristic line in X-rays which opened up the possibility of mapping the amount of sodium on the moon, ISRO said. In a recent work published in 'The Astrophysical Journal Letters', Chandrayaan-2 mapped the abundance of sodium on the Moon for the very first time using CLASS (Chandrayaan-2 Large Area Soft X-ray Spectrometer), the national space agency said in a statement on Friday. "Built at the U R Rao Satellite ...
