Chandrayaan-3 gets nearer to the moon after final orbit change , all set to land on schedule

 



The moon's orbit is complete.  India's space research agency ISRO's Chandrayaan-3 is about to land on the moon.  The final orbit change phase of the lander Vikram was completed late on Saturday night.  Vikram has reached the last planned orbit on the way to the moon.  This time it will land (soft landing) on ​​the lunar surface like a feather of a bird.


 Bikram's final orbit was changed by 2 am on Saturday.  According to ISRO, Vikram has progressed according to plan.  At the moment, the shortest distance between Vikram and the moon is only 25 km.  The longest distance is 134 km.  Vikram will attempt to land on the moon's south pole next Wednesday, August 23.


 Inside Vikram's stomach is rover's wisdom.  Four years ago, India's lunar mission failed at this stage.  Even after all the steps were completed, ISRO scientists lost contact with the lander just before it touched the lunar surface.  This phase is therefore considered to be the most difficult phase of the Moon mission.


 However, ISRO has said that nothing will happen this time.  They claim that Chandrayaan-3 is ready to face all obstacles.  An ISRO official said that Chandrayaan-3's lander Vikram has been designed in such a way that it will be able to land on the lunar surface on August 23 even if its two engines are shut down, along with all sensors.  However  there is only one condition, its propulsion system should work properly.


 Chandrayaan-3 was successfully launched from the 'launching pad' of the Satish Dhawan Space Center in Sriharikota, Andhra Pradesh at 2:35 PM on July 14.  The Vikram lander is scheduled to touch down on the moon on Wednesday afternoon, 41 days after launch.  If this mission is successful, India will become the fourth country to land a spacecraft on the moon after America, Russia and China.
