CHANDRAYAN PRESENTATION

1. CHANDRAYAAN 3
A Mission Of Hope For The Future Of Space Exploration.

2. Chandrayaan 3 is India's third lunar mission
to soft land on the lunar south pole region.
The mission will conduct scientific
experiments to study the lunar geology,
atmosphere, and environment.

4. Launch And Landing
Of Chandrayaan-3
Chandrayaan-3 was launched on July 14,
2023. It entered a lunar transfer orbit on July
15, 2023. The lander is expected to land on
the lunar south pole region on August 23 or
August 24, 2023.

Mission Profile

8. The Earth-Moon average distance is
roughly 384,400 kilometers. To save fuel,
Chandrayaan-3 has chosen a easiest route
to the Moon. This adjusted path aims to
ensure a gentle landing of the mission's
Vikram lander on the Moon's South Pole
area. The expected timeline for this soft
touchdown is approximately 42 days after
launch, specifically around August 23 or 24.

10. Chandrayaan-3 Mission Success
The Chandrayaan-3 mission was a success,
and India became the first country in the
world to land a spacecraft on the Moon's
south pole. The lander, named Vikram,
touched down on the lunar surface at 18:04
IST (12:34 UTC) on August 23, 2023. The
rover, named Pragyan, will now explore the
lunar surface for the next 14 days.

11. The rover's rollout was delayed to let Moon
dust settle after the lander's touchdown.
Moon's weaker gravity makes dust clearance
slower, ensuring rover instrument protection
was ISRO's focus.

12. Pragyan is crafted to mark the national
emblem and ISRO's logo on the lunar surface.
It will traverse unexplored lunar terrain,
transmitting data and visuals after its landing.

Imprints

13. The Vikram lander and Pragyan rover will have a
mission life of one lunar day (about 14 Earth days).
During this time, they will conduct a variety of
scientific experiments, including studying the lunar
surface, the lunar atmosphere, and the lunar water
resources.
About 14 Earth Days

14. The RAMBHA-LP payload on the Chandrayaan-3
Lander has achieved a historic milestone by
conducting the first-ever measurements of the
lunar near-surface plasma environment in the
south polar region.

15. ISRO stated that the Instrument for Lunar
Seismic Activity (ILSA) on Chandrayaan 3 is the
moon's first Micro Electro Mechanical Systems
(MEMS) technology-based instrument. It has
captured vibrations from the Rover and other
payloads' movements.

16. In a significant update, the Indian Space Research
Organization (ISRO) has confirmed that the 'Vikram
Lander' was placed in sleep mode around 08 AM
(Indian Standard Time) on Monday. ISRO reported
that data from the payloads has been transmitted to
Earth, and the payloads are now powered off.
Sleep Mode

17. On September 2, the space organization
confirmed that Pragyan had finished its tasks
and was safely parked in sleep mode, with its
receiver active. ISRO further noted that Vikram
would enter sleep mode alongside Pragyan
once its solar power was depleted and the
battery was drained.
Why Sleep Mode?

18. ISRO also shared that they anticipate the
next sunrise, which is expected to awaken
the equipment on September 22, 2023, and
they are hopeful for a successful restart to
undertake a new set of tasks.

19. Conclusion Of
Chandrayaan 3
The success of Chandrayaan-3 is a major
milestone for India's space program and a
testament to the hard work and dedication
of the ISRO team. It also opens up new
possibilities for scientific research on the
Moon.
