Chandrayaan-3 lander snaps far side of the Moon as it readies for touchdown

[ad_1] The countdown to the touchdown of the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO)'s Chandryaan-3 spacecraft has now begun. With just 3 days to go, the anticipation is building up. The last-minute failure of Russia's Luna-25 spacecraft, which was also on a similar mission, means that all eyes are on the Indian spacecraft. With the touchdown looming, ISRO has now shared new images of the far side of the Moon captured by the camera aboard the Chandrayaan-3. Chandrayaan-3 snaps lunar far sideThe images were captured by Lander Hazard Detection and Avoidance Camera (LHDAC) aboard the spacecraft, which aids in locating a safe landing area, avoiding any deep trenches or huge rocks that could hamper the landing. The LHDAC camera was developed by ISRO at the Space Applications Center, a spac...

Chandrayaan 3 mission at this critical stage now; know what’s coming

[ad_1] After the Russian spacecraft, Luna-25 crashed on the lunar surface, people are now worried about the Chandrayaan 3 landing. Are we going to see history repeat itself or will India succeed this time? That stays a mystery until August 23 when we all will be able to witness the spacecraft landing on the lunar surface. While there are various complications involved in landing, there are some scientists giving us insights into a few critically important challenges that the spacecraft may encounter. Experts say that changing the spacecraft's position from horizontal to vertical for landing will be a huge challenge. Let's check it out in detail.Chandrayaan 3 spacecraft positionAccording to an ANI report, space strategist P.K. Ghosh said, "One of the biggest things that are there is that...

Race to the moon: Russia out of contest as Chandrayaan 3 sets up lunar date

[ad_1] Russia has bowed out of the race to the moon with India after its robot lander crashed on the lunar surface, setting Chandrayaan-3 on an easier course while ISRO scientists achieved yet another successful maneouver to take the spacecraft closer to the moon in its soft-landing attempt on August 23.ISRO on Sunday said it has successfully reduced the orbit of the Chandrayaan-3 mission's Lander Module (LM), and it is now expected to touch down on the surface of the Moon at 6.04 PM on Wednesday. This came even as the Russian lander Luna-25 crashed into the moon after going into uncontrolled orbit. "The apparatus moved into an unpredictable orbit and ceased to exist as a result of a collision with the surface of the moon," Russian space agency Roscosmos said in a statement. Roscosmos s...

Chandrayaan-3’s Moon landing in 3 Days: India aims to make lunar history

[ad_1] India's Chandrayaan-3 mission is gearing up for its first-ever soft landing on the Moon in just three days. Over the weekend, the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) shared exciting news about the successful completion of the mission's second and final deboosting operation. After a few more checks, the module will begin its powered descent on August 23.Crucial Milestone AchievedChandrayaan-3's Vikram lander module, part of India's third lunar exploration, achieved this critical milestone in its journey that began on July 14. The lander, named Vikram, is now in an orbit where its closest point to the Moon is 25 kilometers, and the farthest is 134 kilometers. It's from this orbit that it will attempt a gentle landing in the uncharted south polar region of the Moon on Wednesda...

Earth and moon captured together in a video by Chandrayaan-3’s Vikram lander

[ad_1] As Chandrayaan-3 is progressing towards its ultimate goal, which is landing on the moon successfully, the excitement is increasing exponentially. Today, the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) shared the videos recorded by Chandrayaan 3's Vikram lander. One of the videos was captured by the Lander Position Detection Camera (LPDC) on August 15 while attached to the propulsion module. Captured videos provide a clear view of Moon craters. Amazingly, one of the other videos captured by the Lander Imager (LI) Camera-1, shows a glimpse of a tiny Earth far in the background. Also, Moon's dark side can be seen in the first video where the lander will attempt a soft touchdown on August 23.The video showing the Earth and the Moon was captured just after the landing module and propuls...

Chandrayaan-3 Lander Module set for deboosting process ahead of historic Moon landing

[ad_1] In a significant step towards an ambitious lunar feat, India's Chandrayaan-3 mission achieved a pivotal milestone as its Lander Module, housing the Pragyan rover, successfully disengaged from the Propulsion Module. This separation maneuver positions the mission on a trajectory for an unparalleled soft landing on the moon's south pole, scheduled for August 23.Preparation for DescentThe Lander Module, consisting of the Vikram lander and the Pragyan rover, is now poised to enter a lower orbit, drawing it closer to the moon's surface. The eagerly awaited soft landing is slated for 5.47 pm next Wednesday. When the lander separated from its mother craft, the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) humorously remarked, "Thanks for the ride, mate!" The Lander Module's detachment from t...
