Chandrayaan-3 mission: Inside the changes at India’s space agency ISRO

[ad_1] When the Indian Space Research Organization's (ISRO) Chandrayaan-3 mission landed on the moon, more than 8 million people tuned in for the event's YouTube live-stream - a record for the site. The landing was a win for India's low-cost space engineering, and science, as well as a quiet initiative to rebrand India's 54-year-old space agency as approachable, according to more than a dozen current and former employees, and 10 consultants and industry experts."ISRO used to be a very closed organization. There was hesitation in talking about its missions and somewhat of a culture of secrecy," said Namrata Goswami, a space policy expert and professor at the Thunderbird School of Global Management at Arizona State University. "Fast forward to 2023, I was surprised by the amount of transp...

ISRO sets sights on Shukrayaan-1 mission after Chandrayaan-3 and Aditya-L1 success

[ad_1] The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) is on the move again! After the successful landing of Chandrayaan-3 on the Moon and the launching of India's first solar mission, Aditya-L1, ISRO is now setting its sights on Venus, Earth's neighboring planet. ISRO Chairman S Somanath shared this exciting news, revealing that the Venus mission is making steady progress. ISRO is gearing up for its next big adventure, informally known as Shukrayaan-1 mission.Why Venus?Venus is a fascinating place. It has a thick atmosphere, about 100 times denser than Earth's, and it's packed with acids. Earth could even turn into something likeVenus in the distant future if things change dramatically. So, studying Venus helps us understand more about our own planet's history and potential future. What ...

Lunar night looms over Shiv Shakti Point; Will Chandrayaan-3’s Pragyan Rover, Vikram Lander wake up?

[ad_1] In a big setback for ISRO, hope is fading fast for the revival of Chandrayaan-3 mission. While the mission has achieved all initial objectives, including landing on the Moon, it was hoped that through Vikram Lander and Pragyan Rover, it would be able to carry on further experiments on the lunar soil. However, Vikram Lander and Pragyan Rover have been dormant from the first week of September when they were put into the sleep mode just before the lunar night came along. Since then, efforts to re-establish communication have yielded no results despite the return of sunlight to the Shiv Shakti Point. With the lunar night commencing on September 30, chances of revival have grown even slimmer.The lunar night, spanning approximately 14 Earth days, brings extreme cold and total darkness ...

Waking up Chandrayaan-3’s Vikram and Pragyan: THIS is how it is like; know big problem

[ad_1] Former ISRO chief, Madhavan Nair, expressed optimism about reviving Chandrayaan-3's Vikram lander and Pragyan rover after their two-week slumber on the moon even though, worryingly, they have failed to respond. Nair compared the process to thawing something from a deep freezer, emphasising that the lunar surface's extreme cold, plummeting to below -150 degrees Celsius, poses a significant challenge."Vikram Lander and Pragyan Rover have been in deep sleep for almost two weeks now. It is almost like taking out something from the freezer and then trying to use it. The temperatures would have gone beyond -150 degrees Celsius,” Nair told ANI. Despite the daunting conditions, ISRO is preparing to awaken Vikram and Pragyan from their "sleep mode" after exposing them to the sun's rays, f...
