Chandrayaan 3: Vikram Lander’s meticulous descent to pioneering lunar south pole touchdown

[ad_1] The Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) is gearing up for the Automatic Landing Sequence (ALS) of Chandrayaan-3's Vikram lander on the lunar South Pole. The powered descent commenced at approximately 5:44 pm IST, and lasted around 20 minutes, during which the Vikram lander will go through four critical phases before touching down.India's third Moon mission, launched on July 14 from the Satish Dhawan Space Center in Sriharikota, aims to make India the fourth nation to achieve a soft landing on the Moon and the first to do so near the lunar South Pole. Vikram's designated landing zone lies between the Manzinus C and Simpelius N craters, situated at approximately 69 degrees south latitude on the lunar surface.

How ISRO’s Chandrayaan-3 got a tech boost from NASA and ESA

[ad_1] Chandrayaan-3 is just a few minutes away from creating history. It is scheduled for touchdown on the Soth Pole of the Moon at 6:04 pm IST. In this long journey, there have been various contributors and collaborators who are working day and night to make ISRO's Chandrayaan-3 moon mission a success, and among them are NASA and ESA space agencies.Since the launch of the Chandrayaan-3 mission on July 14, we have been receiving a remarkable display of international collaboration. Ground stations from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and the European Space Agency (ESA) are providing support to the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) during its moon mission. Global backup support is crucial during space missions and this especially applies to spacecraft lan...

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...

“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. Live actions will be available on the ISRO website, its YouTube channel, Facebook, and public broadcaster DD National TV from 17:27 IST on Aug 23, 2023.Ahead of the much-awaited soft landing of Chandrayaan-3 on the south pole of the Moon, former director of the Indian Space Research Organisation...

Chandrayaan-3 Moon landing – How and when to watch live streaming

[ad_1] India's space agency, ISRO, is preparing for a historic moment. They're getting ready to land their spacecraft, Chandrayaan-3, on the Moon. This spacecraft has been circling the Moon for a week after separating from its Propulsion Module.Chandrayaan-3 is India's third mission to the Moon. Its main goal is to learn more about what the Moon is made of, its rocks, and any valuable materials it might have. When Will Chandrayaan-3 Vikram Lander Begin Landing on the Moon?ISRO has announced the big moment will happen on August 23 at 6:08 PM Indian Standard Time (IST). That's when the spacecraft will start descending from about 25 kilometers above the Moon's surface. The landing will take about 15 minutes, and the lander will touch down in the Moon's southern polar area. How Can You Watc...

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...
