Chandrayaan 3: ISRO Chairman on Monday asserted that he is very confident about the launch of Chadrayaan-3 which is due in July this year.
Chandrayaan-2: The study finds that a part of the signal could be arising from a thin veneer of sodium atoms weakly bound to the lunar grains.
Chandrayaan II anniversary: Though the soft-landing attempt of the lander Vikram was not successful, the orbiter, which was equipped with eight scientific instruments, was successfully placed in lunar orbit.
“Chandrayaan-2 Large Area Soft X-ray Spectrometer (CLASS) on-board Chandrayaan-2 Orbiter detected SPE due to an M5.5 class solar flare that occurred on January 20, 2022,” the ISRO said.
It is common for satellites in earth orbit to undergo collision avoidance manoeuvres to mitigate collision risk due to space objects including space debris and operational spacecraft.
The observations of the Chandrayaan-2 orbiter payloads have yielded discovery-class findings, according to the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO).
The Chandrayaan-2 has completed more than 9,000 orbits around the Moon, ISRO Chairman, K Sivan said.
Chandrayaan-2 data product and science documents were released by Sivan, also Secretary in the Department of Space (DoS), along with data from Chandrayaan-2 orbiter payloads, Bengaluru-headquartered ISRO said in a statement.
According to a research paper published in Current Science Journal, the spacecraft with the help of an Imaging infrared spectrometer (IIRS) could differentiate between hydroxyl and water molecules.
Chandrayaan-2 was launched on July 22, 2019 from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre at Sriharikota in Andhra Pradesh.
As soon as the announcement was made, Indian Twitter celebrated the news with their hilarious memes.
India’s second lunar mission Chandrayaan-2 completed one year in orbit around the moon on Thursday and all instruments are currently performing well and there is adequate onboard fuel to keep it operational for about seven more years.
What if we tell you that the Chandrayaan-2 mission is still much alive? Well, hopes have revived again after a Chennai-based techie, in a tip-off to ISRO, said that Chandrayaan-2's rover Pragyan seems to be "intact" on the moon's surface and had rolled out a few meters from Vikram lander.
As India's second lunar mission Chandrayaan-2 marked one year of completion of launch by GSLV MkIII M1 on Wednesday, Indian Space Research Organisation said all its eight payloads are performing well.
The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) also said Tuesday marked an year of the launch of India's second moon mission by a Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle (GSLV)-MkIII-M1.
The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) has got the patent for its method of manufacturing highland lunar soil simulant or simply lunar/moon soil.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday made a big revelation on why he attended ISRO's historic Chandrayaan 2's moon landing quest despite knowing that it might not be a safe and expected touch down for Vikram Lander. PM Modi revealed that there were words of caution against attending the event as success was not guaranteed considering the risks involved.
The National Centre for the Performing Arts (NCPA) will pay tribute to India's lunar mission 'Chandrayaan.'
With 13 accomplished missions, including the launching of 50 foreign satellites, to an unsuccessful Chandrayaan-2 in 2019, ISRO has resolved to alight its lander on the lunar surface with Chandrayaan-3 in addition to a maiden solar expedition in 2020.
India's maiden attempt to soft-land on the moon during the Chandrayaan-2 mission failed in September last year, as its spacecraft Vikram 'crash-landed' near the moon's south pole due to a velocity glitch, a top space official said on Wednesday.
