Chandrayaan-3 To make a “safe landing” on the South Pole of the Moon tomorrow August 23, 2023, at 6:04 PM.
If all goes according to plan, the landing will be the highlight of India’s space mission to date, ending the disappointment of the forced landing of the Chandrayaan-2 lander four years ago.
As the Chandrayaan-3 lander prepared to make a “safe soft landing” on the moon Wednesday night, a wave of anticipation swept the country, making it the first country to land on the moon in the process. South Pole of the Moon.
If all goes as planned, the moon landing will be the highlight of India’s space mission to date, ending the disappointment of the Chandrayaan-2 lander that crashed four years ago. Mission Control
Bangalore will receive data from signals sent by the Chandrayaan-3 lander directly to the Deep Space Network station in Bangalore, the US Jet Propulsion Laboratory and the European Space
Agency station in Spain, or via Chandrayaan-3 crew.
According to ISRO, Chandrayaan-3 made contact with orbiter-2 on Monday.
What ISRO Chairman S Somanath said:
ISRO Chairman S Somanath said that the Chandrayaan-3 lander was designed using a “fail-safe” approach, meaning every failure was taken into account and several layers of protection were built.
In order for the aircraft to land safely at higher speeds, its feet have been strengthened, its software has been updated, its fuel capacity has been increased, and its control and ability to find suitable landing sites have been expanded.
At a recent public conference, Somanath explained the exact reasons for Chandrayaan-2’s failure, saying that the spacecraft was producing more than recommended during its final landing phase and that the onboard software’s error correction Mechanisms were not designed to participate. Do this immediately, but only after the task is finished.
As a result, the errors were hidden and when the computer tried to fix them, the errors were too large to be fixed, he said. Such a flaw in the software was fixed in Chandrayaan-3.
The final approach will be a cocktail of disappointment, anxiety and hope.
This was the last time Chandrayaan-2 disappeared and landed on the moon.
Four missions, including Russia’s Luna-25 two days ago, met a similar fate four years ago.
ISRO has added several layers of protection to ensure that similar incidents are not repeated in the past. Until Tuesday, everything was “running smoothly”, in ISRO’s words.
