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.

How Parker Solar Probe will withstand Sun's heat ?

Sun may look calm and beautiful from our earth but it is one of the most ferocious body in our solar system, a body whose mass continuously rises ,  having millions of nuclear reactions going every second , tingling magnetic lines sun also have strong and constant winds flowing with speed of million miles per hour . Since it is the only star in our reach to study but it is still very difficult to study its behaviour So how? Parker Solar Probe The answer is Parker solar probe made by NASA which will blast off this year to a long journey of around 4 million miles(6.4 million km) from the earth to the sun. The temperature of sun which can rise up to 1 million degree Fahrenheit is strong enough to melt anything approaching it. So how will our small probe will withstand this harsh surrounding? But still the temperature of the solar panels and elements still can go to about 2498 degree Fahrenheit (1370 degree Celsius) so there is necessity to co...

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...

Why Tardigrades are one of the most toughest micro-animal in the world??

We all know about Israel's mission to moon named Beresheet . Mission which was launched with help of SpaceX rocket Falcon 9 B-5 . Unfortunately it crash landed on moon and they loose contact to there lander. But one interesting thing about this mission was that, this mission was also carrying Tardigrades. So Let us know what are these creatures and how much tough they are : They were first described by German Zoologist Johann August Ephraim Goeze in 1773 who called them little water bears .                                                                                                            There official name was given by Italian biologist Lazzaro Spallanzani which is Tardigrada  .Tardig...
