ISRO GEARING UP FOR MOON MISSION NAMED CHANDRAYAAN -2


Chandrayaan -2 A Mission To Moon

After doing a successful mission on moon named mission
Chandrayaan which included one lander and one test payload to check whether ISRO is capable of  landing a rover for research purposes.

 Mission Chandrayaan was launched with help of PSLV (Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle).

Well now time has come , ISRO is setup to go for Chandrayaan-2 which consist of one orbiter , one lander and one rover on moon. 

For representative purpose

  • Chandrayaan 2 will consist one orbiter, lander and rover.
  • This whole mission  will be done indigenous.
  • The mission will be carried out on GSLV-F10 (Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle) launch vehicle most probably in second  half of 2018.  
  • Orbiter will be placed in lunar orbit at 100 km.
  • The lander housing the rover will separate from the orbiter and will perform a soft landing on moon carrying rover safely.
  • The rover used in this mission will be a six wheeled Rover which will be controlled by the ground commands.
  • The moon rover  will move on the landing site in semi-autonomous mode.
  • The rover is designed to carry data from the lunar soil and send to ground commands through the orbiter.
  • The orbiter will also do remote sensing of moon and send valuable data for analysis.
  • The Orbiter weight is around 3290 kg .
  • The objective of this mission is to collect scientific information from moon for mineralogy, elemental abundance,lunar exosphere, lunar topography and taking signatures of hydroxyl and water-ice.
  • The mission success will add name of India in the list of elite space agencies who have such kind of capabilities.
Due to some technical difficulties and failure of two mission one of them was loosing communication satellite GSAT-6A and another one is PSLV-C39 mission.

We can not say GSAT-6A mission was a complete failure as the satellite lift off successfully into orbit but ground command centre was unable to establish connection with the satellite and hence they failed but partially.

the scheduled launch of Chandrayaan 2 has been changed twice, from April to October and now it is pushed to next year 2019 in month of January.

Finally, SpaceX revealed how there starship test vehicle will look like!!

Elon Musk CEO of Space X posted a tweet on Saturday which just increased my and all space lovers happiness. Elon Musk in his tweet posted information about scale down concept of there Starship for interplanetary space travels. The image posted by Elon Musk of Starship test vehicle after Assembly  little bit looks like ships of sci-fi movies which we used to watch in our childhoods. The Starship test vehicle of Elon is currently being assembled at SpaceX. The concept used for testing feasibility of the design will be around 30 feet with shiny stainless steel looking body. The company is expecting to launch this Starship in March or April . The first testing of this formula will be a sub orbital mission with no fancy glass windows and other instruments as it is just a testing of mainly outer design and engines used to lift the vehicle. Space X wants to make sure that there Starship is completely feasible so they can put the design with few alteration to its orb...

NASA's Chandra X-ray observatory may have observed star consuming a planet for the first time

There are infinite number of stars in our universe. It is always remained an attraction for cosmologist to observe there behaviour. Many observatories are made by space agencies to study astrology and cosmology one of them is NASA's Chandra X-ray observatory  It is dedicated in observing behaviour of stars and planets in  our galaxy  there are many evidence which shows that a star can consume planets. Well,The New report from NASA on findings of  NASA's Chandra X-ray observatory which says that they have observe a star in our Milky Way Galaxy around 450 light years away from our earth. the star which which is named RW Aur A is been in consideration of scientist since 1937 . the curiosity in this star increased due to fading of its optical light for few decades and brightening again.  But in recent times the frequent dimming of light took attention of scientists A team of scientist with  NASA's Chandra X-ray observatory  obse...

Some interesting facts about space related missions, check how many of them you know !!

Do you ever wondered that how astronauts live in ISS(International Space Station despite of any gravity,atmospheric pressure  and many thing else). If you think the same then you are on the right page We  have seen astronauts wearing big bulky space suits which seems very uncomfortable right... Yes , but that doesn't matter if it is there to make you live in space. So lets start to reveal these secrets one by one 1. Why astronauts wear white color spacesuit?? Photo by  History in HD  on  Unsplash We know everything space scientist do is on purpose right!! As we know that space consist extreme cold and hot temperature, and harmful radiation that can cause system failure of space suit like oxygen supply system, cooling system and suit on board computer and many more. Don't worry about these terms ,we will come to these terms later.  white color reflects most of the incident radiation (mostly from Sun) falling on the s...
