Chandrayaan-4 is set to launch around 2028, and it's all about India trying to be the fourth country to bring back samples from the moon. Isro's Chairman, S Somanath, revealed the mission's primary goal during a recent presentation at the National Space Science Symposium, emphasizing the scientific significance of collecting and studying lunar samples. The mission plan for Chandrayaan-4 is quite complex. It involves five different parts of the spacecraft: the propulsion, descend...

ISRO’s Chandrayaan-4 mission to unlock amazing new avenues for space research by India

[ad_1] In space exploration, where meticulous planning is the norm, objectives set the course for any mission. However, the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) has recently demonstrated a remarkable ability to not only meet but exceed its mission objectives, especially with the Chandrayaan-3 mission. There was a time when GSLV Mk II of ISRO saw 4 failures and 2 partial failures out of a total of 16 launches and cartoons depicted ISRO's efforts humorously, showing established space powers in an "ELITE SPACE CLUB" and a figure labeled 'INDIA' knocking at their door, accompanied by a bull. However, ISRO has dramatically reshaped its reputation. GSLV Mk III (renamed LVM3) is riding on the undisputed success of 7 out of 7 launches propelling India into the forefront of space-faring nat...

Chandrayaan-4 mission: ISRO set to take big step with JAXA

[ad_1] After the grand success of the Chandrayaan-3 mission, India is paving its way for its next lunar mission. ISRO is working in collaboration with the Japanese space agency JAXA to carry out the next moon mission called the Lunar Polar Exploration Mission also known as the Chandrayaan-4 mission. Check here to know all about this upcoming India-Japan lunar mission.LUPEX or Chandrayaan-4 missionChandrayaan-4 is currently said to be in its planning state. According to the official website of JAXA, the LUPEX mission aims to gather data on the quantity and forms of water present on the lunar surface. The Chandrayaan-4 mission will not only identify the presence of water but also investigate its quantity, distribution on the lunar surface and below ground, and its various forms, including...

[ad_1] In the wake of Chandrayaan-3's triumph, ISRO is already gearing up for its next lunar odyssey with the ambitious Chandrayaan-4 mission. While hopes for Chandrayaan-3's return to Earth dwindle due to potential communication challenges, ISRO remains undeterred, emphasizing that the mission has already yielded vital data. Chandrayaan-4 mission, a beacon of progress in space exploration, is poised to elevate India's cosmic endeavors. Departing from its predecessors, the mission promises to not only touch the moon's surface but also bring lunar samples back to Earth. Nilesh Desai, Director of the Space Applications Centre (SAC/ISRO), unveiled the Chandrayaan-4 mission as a milestone during a recent address to the Indian Tropical Meteorology Institute. The undertaking involves the intr...

From sparking powerful solar storms to causing forest fires, know the dangers of solar winds

[ad_1] Solar winds have been part of the reason behind the recent series of solar storms that have struck the Earth in the last couple of weeks. They either sparked solar storm incidents or amplified an active storm. But often, we tend to overlook its potential to cause damage when compared to solar flares and coronal mass ejections (CME). However, as per NASA officials and research papers, these stellar winds are capable of not only sparking solar storms but also triggering forest fires, and damaging spacecraft, potentially putting the lives of astronauts in danger.What are solar winds?Solar winds are not winds since space is entirely vacuum and air does not exist there. These ‘winds' are powerful waves of plasma that are created in the corona of the Sun. They contain both solar partic...
