Basic presentation and overview of India's most awaited mission chandrayaaan-2 carried out by Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) which includes the different modules used in the mission including the budget and other related stuffs.
2. • Chandrayaan-2 is India’s second lunar exploration mission,
developed by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO)
after Chandrayaan-1.
• The mission is launched to the Moon by a Geosynchronous
Satellite Launch Vehicle (GSLV), includes a lunar orbiter, a
lander and a lunar rover, all developed by India.
• The data will be relayed to Earth through the Chandrayaan—2
orbiter.
3.
4. • The rover's mass is about 27 kg .
• operate on solar power.
• The rover will move on 6 wheels traversing 500
meters on the lunar surface at the rate of 1 cm per
second.
• It performs on-site chemical analysis and sends the
data to the lander, which will relay it to the Board
of Mission Control on the Earth.
.
SPECIALITIES:
Stereoscopic camera-based 3D vision.
Control and motor dynamics.
Mission duration: ≤14 days (one lunar day)
5. • ISRO have designed the orbiter, which is
orbiting the Moon on a polar orbit at an
altitude of 100 km.
• The approximate launch mass is 2,379 kg.
• High Resolution Camera (OHRC) will conduct
high-resolution observations of the landing
site prior to separation of the lander from the
orbiter.
• Mission duration: approximately 7.5 years,
extended from the planned 1 year owing to
the precise launch and mission management,
in lunar orbit.
6. • The lander was slated to be developed by
Russia in collaboration with India.
• When Russia stated its inability provide the
lander to meet even the revised time frame of
2015, Indian officials decided to develop the
lander independently.
• The cancellation of the Russian lander also
meant that mission profile had to be changed.
• The design of the indigenous lander and the
preliminary configuration study has been
completed by the Space Applications Centre
(SAC) in Ahmedabad .
• The approximate combined mass of the lander
and rover is 1,471 kg
7. The lander's trajectory began to deviate at about 2.1
kilometres (1.3 mi; 6,900 ft) above the surface.
The final telemetry readings during ISRO's live-stream show
that Vikram's final vertical velocity was 58 m/s (210 km/h) from
330 meters above the surface
Which was quiet fast for lunar landing.
According to initial reports it suggested a crash.
The crash have been confirmed by ISRO chairman K. Sivan,
stating that the lander location had been found by thermal
imagery obtained by orbitar.
8. The mission was launched to the Moon from the second launch
pad at Satish Dhawan Space Centre on 22 July 2019 at 2.43 PM IST
(09:13 UTC) by a Geosynchronous Satellite LaunchVehicle Mark
III (GSLV Mk III).
The craft reached the Moon's orbit on 20 August 2019 and began
orbital positioning for the landing of the Vikram lander
Vikram separated from Chandrayaan-2 on 7 September 2019 and
was scheduled to land on the Moon at around 1:50 a.m. IST.The
initial descent was considered within mission parameters, passing
critical braking procedures as expected.
The orbiter part of the mission, remains operational and will
continue its seven-year mission to study the Moon.
9. As of June 2019, the mission has an allocated cost
of ₹978 crore (approximately US$141 million)
This includes ₹603 crore for space segment and ₹375 crore as
launch costs on GSLV Mk III.
NASA took 12 attempts to Reach .
Germany took 7 attempts.
This was India’s 1st attempt which is considered to be 95
percent successful till date.
