Chandrayaan-3 success will come if THIS happens on Pragyan Rover, Vikram Lander

[ad_1] Yesterday, September 22, was a crucial day for the Chandrayaan-3 mission. Earlier, reports said that the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) was going to begin its efforts to revive the Vikram Lander and Pragyan Rover that have been hibernating on the South Pole region of the Moon for the last 14 days after the lunar night struck and temperatures can go as low as -200 degrees Celsius. Some later reports mentioned that there might be some delays, but later, ISRO director Nilesh Desai confirmed that the process was underway. However, no signals have been received from the modules despite the efforts of ISRO.

Will Chandrayaan-3 rise again? ISRO to wake up Vikram Lander, Pragyan Rover as Sun shines on Moon

[ad_1] As per reports, today, September 22, can be the date when the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) makes an attempt to reestablish connection with the Vikram Lander and Pragyan Rover to revive the Chandrayaan-3 mission, which is currently in pause mode. Both were put to sleep in early September after the modules conducted 14 days of investigation as the lunar night set in. The original mission was scheduled for this period only, which is also known as a lunar day (14 Earth day period), as there will be no sunlight and extremely low temperatures to deal with during the lunar night. However, the dark night is over. After another 14 days, sunlight is finally beginning to shine on the Moon's South Pole region. ISRO is now expected to make efforts to reestablish contact with both...

Chandrayaan-3 mission: ISRO set to resurrect Vikram Lander, Pragyan Rover as India eyes TRIUMPH

[ad_1] Chandrayaan-3, India's first-ever lunar mission to successfully land on the Moon, and the world's first mission to explore the South Pole there, is now at a very delicate stage and today it will be decided whether the mission stays alive or is declared dead. It all hinges on Vikram Lander and Pragyan Rover. In early September, both of them were put to sleep after 14 days of investigation when the lunar night set in. This was done because the original mission was planned to be run for a duration of 14 days, and due to the lunar night arriving, the lander and the rover would not get sunlight to charge their batteries. But now, after another 14 days, sunlight is finally beginning to hit the Moon's South Pole region. As per reports, the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) will ...

Know how Chandrayaan-3 differs from the ill-fated Luna-25

[ad_1] Various countries are in a quest to reach the moon and that includes India and Russia. Notably, while India is on the verge of fulfilling its mission to Land on the Moon through the Chandrayaan- 3 spacecraft, Russia's ill-fated spacecraft Luna-25 crashed on August 20. Let's take a look at how both of these Lunar Missions are different from each other. ObjectivesAs we know, Chandrayaan-3 has 3 main objectives, first to demonstrate capabilities to effect a Safe and Soft Landing on the Lunar Surface, to demonstrate a Rover roving on the moon, and to conduct in-situ scientific experiments. Chandrayaan-3 lander is expected to perform a soft landing on the South Pole of the Moon on August 23 at 18:04 PM IST. On the other hand, Luna-25 had different objectives. According to NASA, it ai...

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 ...
