Chandrayan-3 has reached its final orbit , continues its encouraging progress

 




Chandrayaan-3 is currently orbiting the Earth.  After the fifth maneuver on Tuesday (July 25), it reached the final orbit.  According to ISRO, Chandrayaan-3 is expected to reach 127603 km x 236 km orbit.  The next firing in Translunar Injection (TLI) is scheduled for August 1, 2023, between 12:00 am and 1:00 am.  The fifth maneuver in Earth orbit was carried out by a scientist sitting at the ISRO Telemetry, Tracking and Command Network (ISTRAC) in Bengaluru.  On the night of August 1, Chandrayaan-3 is expected to leave Earth's orbit and head towards the Moon.  Then it will reach the moon's orbit and start revolving around it.  There will also be five maneuvers to reach the moon.  Chandrayaan-3 was launched on 14 July 2023.  It is expected to land on the lunar surface by 23 August.  Chandrayaan-3 will enter the Moon's orbit while circling the Earth.  The orbiting lander module will land on the lunar surface on August 23.  This is the most critical phase of the mission.  During this soft landing will be attempted.



ISRO told at 2.54 pm on Tuesday that 'Orbit-Raising Maneuver (Earth-Bound Firing) of Chandrayaan-3 was successfully completed.  The spacecraft is expected to attain an orbit of 127603 km x 236 km.  The achieved orbit will be confirmed after the observation.  The next firing, the Translunar Injection (TLI), is planned for August 1, 2023, between 12 midnight to 1 am IST.





 The Chandrayaan-3 mission consists of an indigenous propulsion module, a lander module and a rover.  The mission involves reaching the lunar orbit, using the lander to perform a 'soft-landing' on the lunar surface, and a rover being released from the lander and then rotating on the lunar surface to study the lunar surface.


 India can become the first country to land on the South Pole On August 23-24, soft landing of Vikram Lander will be done on the South Pole of the Moon.  Soft landing means to land safely on the surface with full control.  If the lander soft-lands on the South Pole, India will become the first country in the world to reach the Moon's South Pole.  This landing will also be special because this part of the moon is still hidden from human eyes.  Till now Russia, America and China have undoubtedly landed their vehicles on the moon but it was done in other parts of the moon.


 14 days of us and one day of the moon Chandrayaan 3 has the lander Vikram and the rover Pragyan.  They will do their work on the surface of the Moon in a day equal to 14 Earth days.  One day of the moon is equal to 14 days of India.
