Chandrayaan-3 latest Update: lander Vikram sends close-up photos of Moon
Chandrayaan-3's Vikram lander went through a key deboosting manoeuvre on Friday after successfully getting separated from the propulsion module.
Everything is going well so far in ISRO's mission Chandrayaan-3... After separation from the propulsion module, the Vikram lander is circling alone in the lunar orbit. De-orbiting of Vikram Lander will be done today… After this, de-orbiting will also happen on 20th August.
Chandrayaan-3: ISRO is bidding to make a successful soft landing on the moon, which will make India the fourth country in the world to achieve the feat after the United States, Russia, and China.
Chandrayaan-3: The propulsion module will work like a satellite between lander and ISRO control room. It will decode the lander's messages and pass them to ISRO.
Chandrayaan-3 mission: Vikram lander successfully separated from the spacecraft's propulsion module. The lander and the rover are carrying scientific payloads to carry out experiments on the lunar surface.
India's Chandrayaan-3 mission moved closer to the moon as ISRO revealed the imminent detachment of the lander module from the propulsion module, slated for August 17. The successful firing manoeuvre placed Chandrayaan-3 in its intended orbit of 153 km x 163 km after lunar-bound manoeuvres.
As the mission advances, a progression of moves are being directed by Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) to steadily diminish Chandrayaan-3's orbit and position it over the lunar poles.
The satellite, realised at U R Rao Satellite Centre in Bengaluru, has arrived at the ISRO's spaceport in Sriharikota in Andhra Pradesh.
In a video reel that has gone viral on Facebook, some scenes of space are seen playing. In this video, some astronauts are seen visiting a fictional planet. Here they are seen doing some searching inside the wreckage of something like a spaceship.
ISRO's Thiruvananthapuram-based Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre (VSSC) successfully conducted a series of Drogue Parachute Deployment Tests at the Rail Track Rocket Sled (RTRS) facility of the Terminal Ballistics Research Laboratory in Chandigarh during August 8-10, the national space agency said.
Over the years, ISRO has made several big achievements and outshined in its field and we have listed a few of them.
Chandrayaan-3's mission began on July 14, entering lunar orbit on August 5. To bring it closer to the Moon's surface, three de-orbiting maneuvers are planned for August 9, 14, and 16, reducing its orbit to 100 km x 100 km. The final landing on August 23 will involve a separation exercise.
Speaking during the interaction over 'Chandrayaan-3: Bharat’s Pride Space Mission', ISRO chief S Somanath said that the 'Vikram' lander has been designed in such a way that it will be able to handle failures.
Chandrayaan-3 mission: According to ISRO, there will be three more moon-bound manoeuvers till August 17. After this, the landing module will break away from the propulsion module.
Chandrayaan-3: The Indian spacecraft has covered about two-thirds of the distance to the Moon since its launch on July 14.
