Chandrayan 3: LIVE UPDATE ,touch down accept on the same day around Time ?

Chandrayan is a program of ISRO it’s Lander name Vikram and Rover named Pragyan it is a most recent India’s lunar and exploration the manufacture of spacecraft is by ISRO it’s lunch mass is 3900 kg it launching side is Satish Dhawan Space Centre.

The mission begin on July 14 with a launch in India’s lvm 3 rocket at the moon the propulsion module will Tower Chandrayan 3 until it this is a circular 100 KM 62 Mile Orbit the two vehicles will separated leave a Lander orbit and touch the moon surface on south polar region.

A successful touch down will mark a huge success for ISRO the yah landing is schedule for 23rd August 2023 around 5:45 p.m.  IST and touch down accept on the same day around 6:05 p.m. IST.

In this Chandrayaan mission the funding of the project of ISRO former Chairman K Sivan started that estimated cost would be around 615 crore.

Chandrayaan 1 & 2: India’s Lunar Missions

In recent decades, space exploration has evolved from being the domain of a few major powers to a global endeavor. India, with its ambitious space program, has made significant strides in this arena. Among its most notable achievements are the Chandrayaan missions, which have placed India at the forefront of lunar exploration. This blog post delves into the Chandrayaan 1 and 2 missions, highlighting their objectives, accomplishments, and their impact on India’s space aspirations.

Chandrayaan 1: India’s Maiden Lunar Mission

Genesis and Objectives

Launched on October 22, 2008, Chandrayaan 1 marked India’s entry into the lunar exploration domain. The primary objectives of this mission were:

1. High-resolution 3D Mapping: Chandrayaan 1 aimed to create detailed, high-resolution 3D maps of the lunar surface, providing valuable data for scientific and strategic purposes.
2. Mineralogical Analysis: It sought to identify the distribution of various minerals and elements on the lunar surface, aiding in the understanding of its geological composition.
3. Locating Water: One of the most significant goals was to discover water molecules on the Moon’s surface, which could have profound implications for future lunar colonization.

Key Discoveries

Chandrayaan 1 exceeded expectations and made several groundbreaking discoveries:

1. Water on the Moon: In a monumental find, the Moon Impact Probe (MIP) aboard Chandrayaan 1 confirmed the presence of water molecules on the lunar surface.
2. Mapping and Imaging: The Moon Impact Probe, along with instruments like the Terrain Mapping Camera, helped create comprehensive maps and images of the Moon.
3. Confirmation of Hydroxyl Radicals: Chandrayaan 1 confirmed the presence of hydroxyl radicals, a crucial component of water, on the Moon.

Legacy and Impact

Chandrayaan 1 demonstrated India’s capability in space exploration and positioned the country as a significant player in the global space race. Despite an early termination of communication, the mission’s achievements significantly contributed to the world’s understanding of the Moon’s composition and potential resources.

Chandrayaan 2: A Giant Leap Forward

Objectives and Composition

Launched on July 22, 2019, Chandrayaan 2 was a more complex and ambitious mission. It consisted of three components:

1. Orbiter: To orbit the Moon and perform remote sensing operations.
2. Vikram Lander: Designed to perform a soft landing on the lunar surface.
3. Pragyan Rover: Meant for in-situ analysis of the lunar surface.

Primary Objectives

Chandrayaan 2’s primary objectives included:

1. In-situ Studies: Unlike its predecessor, Chandrayaan 2 aimed to conduct in-situ studies of the lunar surface, providing a deeper understanding of its composition.
2. Helium-3 Prospecting: It sought to locate and analyze the potential presence of helium-3, a rare isotope with potential future energy applications.
3. Enhanced Mapping: Building on Chandrayaan 1’s accomplishments, Chandrayaan 2 aimed to provide even more detailed mapping and imagery.

Lander Setback and Orbiter Success

While the Vikram Lander faced a setback during its landing attempt, the Orbiter was a resounding success. It continues to transmit vital data, contributing to global lunar research efforts.

Conclusion: India’s Lunar Aspirations

The Chandrayaan missions have undeniably propelled India into the global space exploration arena. Chandrayaan 1 laid a solid foundation, while Chandrayaan 2 showcased India’s technical prowess and determination. As India looks to the future, it’s clear that the nation’s lunar aspirations will only continue to grow, with the potential for even more ambitious missions on the horizon.
