CHANDRAYAN-3 ?WHAT EXACTLY IS IT FOR?
Chandrayaan-3 before knowing about it .Firstly, we have to know what exactly is Chandrayaan
The Chandrayaan Imaging X-ray Spectrometer, developed by ISRO and ESA, was designed to detect magnesium, aluminum, silicon, calcium, titanium, and iron by the X-rays they emit when exposed to solar flares. This was done in part with the Solar X-Ray Monitor, which measured incoming solar radiation.
Chandrayaan-1
Chandrayaan-1 was the first Indian lunar probe under the Chandrayaan programme. It was launched by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) in October …
Launch date: 22 October 2008, 00:52 UTC
Dry mass: 560 kg (1,230 lb)
Payload mass: 105 kg (231 lb)
SATCAT no.: 33405
What is SATCAT no?
The Satellite Catalog Number is a sequential nine-digit number assigned by the United States Space Command in the order of launch or discovery to all artificial objects in the orbits of Earth and those that left Earth’s orbit
Chandrayaan-2
Chandrayaan-2 was the second lunar exploration mission developed by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO), after Chandrayaan-1.
Mission duration: : Orbiter: ~ 7.5 years
Launch date: 22 July 2019, 09:13:12 UTC
Landing date: 6 September 2019, 20:23 UTC
Launch mass: Combined (wet): 3,850 kg
Chandrayaan-2 was failed due to some of the fatal errors in it in 2019.
Chandrayaan-3
Ritu Karidhal Shrivastava is leading the Chandrayaan 3 mission
The successful launch of Chandrayaan-3 has given a major fillip to the country’s first human spaceflight program
The health of the spacecraft was “normal”, ISRO said in a social media post. Chandrayaan-3 is now in an orbit, which when closest to Earth is at 173 km and farthest from Earth is at 41,762 km, the space agency said.
Translunar injection, which is when Chandrayaan-3 will leave Earth orbit for the Moon, will take place on 1 August. The landing is projected to take place sometime around 23 August, over three weeks later.
Chandrayaan-3 is comprised of a lander, propulsion module and rover. Its aim is to safely land on the lunar surface, collect data and conduct a series of scientific experiments to learn more about the moon’s composition.
The Chandrayaan-3 mission is designed to deploy a lander and rover near the moon’s south pole around August 23. India’s space agency has launched a rocket that will attempt to land a spacecraft at the lunar south pole, an unprecedented feat that would advance India’s position as a major space power.
Its aim is to safely land on the lunar surface, collect data and conduct a series of scientific experiments to learn more about the moon’s composition.
K Sivan, ISRO Chairman, told media earlier that the cost of Chandrayaan-3 was around Rs 615 crore. He further said that the lander, rover and propulsion module cost Rs 250 crore and the launch services itself cost around Rs 365 crores
Chandrayan-3 is a prestigious project from ISRO to explore moon and collect samples and bring back to earth for some further, scientific research to know the composition and environment of earth.
WITH ALL ITS COST . WHY SEND A SATELLITE TO MOON WHEN HAVE AI AND ROBOTICS?
While writing this blog this particular question started in my head .with all its cost cant we send a robot with AI to the moon and give instructions to it.
will do some research on this topic and will update you guys in the next blog till then signing off .
