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.
IN-SPACe serves as the regulator for private players in the Indian space sector, while ISRO is the Indian space agency. The recent announcement by ISRO revealed its decision to transfer the SSLV technology to private firms.
"We have concluded the object located on a beach near Jurien Bay in Westeran Australia is most likely debris from an expended third-stage of a Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV)," said the agency in a tweet
The Lunar Orbit Injection (LOI), which will be carried out with a maneuver at Perilune, is the next important step in the mission. The LOI is planned for August 5, 2023.
Chandrayaan-3 has escaped the orbits of the Earth and is now heading towards the moon, ISRO said, sharing the latest details about the spacecraft's journey.
ISRO Launches PSLV Satellite: Shortly from now, ISRO will launch Singapore's satellite DS-SAR along with 6 other satellites in the morning... For this, the rocket Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle-PSLV C56 will be launched from Satish Dhawan Space Center in Sriharikota..
The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) launched the Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV-C56) carrying carrying Singapore’s DS-SAR satellite along with six co-passengers satellites from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Andhra Pradesh's Sriharikota at at 6:31 am on Sunday
A massive fire broke out in the basement of a hospital in Ahmedabad city of Gujarat on Sunday, prompting authorities to shift patients to other hospitals as a precautionary measure.
The PSLV-C56 is configured in its core-alone mode, similar to the successful PSLV-C55 mission launched in April this year.
