Bengaluru: The Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) is set to launch its ambitious mission aimed at demonstrating key technologies to land the spacecraft on the Moon’s south pole in the second week of July. chandrayaan-3 mission Preparing to launch.
Will be launched by GSLV MkIII from Sriharikota
Chandrayaan-3, a follow-up mission to Chandrayaan-2, demonstrated end-to-end capability of safely landing and orbiting on the lunar surface. This includes the lander and rover configurations. It will be launched by GSLV MkIII from SDSC, Sriharikota. The propulsion module will take the lander and rover configuration up to 100 km lunar orbit. The propulsion module carries the Spectro-Polarimetry of Habitable Planet Earth (SHAP) payload to study the spectral and polarimetric measurements of the Earth from the Moon’s orbit.
Can be launched in the second week of July
A senior official at the Bangalore-based headquarters of the National Space Agency, which comes under the Department of Space, told ‘PTI-Bhasha’ on Thursday, “The Chandrayaan-3 mission is scheduled in the second week of July.” Its purpose is to demonstrate the ability to safely land on the lunar surface and collect samples by the rover. According to ISRO officials, while the scope of these scientific instruments on the lander and rover will be in line with the ‘theme’ of ‘science of the moon’, another experimental instrument will study the ‘spectro-polarimetric signature’ of Earth from the lunar orbit, Which will be according to the theme ‘Science from the Moon’.
Successful test was done on 24 February
Let us tell you, on February 24, it was tested for a planned duration of 25 seconds at the High Altitude Test Facility of ISRO Propulsion Complex in Mahendragiri, Tamil Nadu. All the parameters were found satisfactory during the test. The cryogenic engine will be integrated with the propellant tank, stage structure and associated fluid lines for a fully integrated flight. Earlier, ISRO had successfully tested the lander of Chandrayaan-3. ISRO had said that EMI/EMC testing for satellite missions is done to ensure the functionality of the satellite system in the space environment and its compatibility with expected electromagnetic levels. The space agency had said, this test is a major milestone towards the construction of the satellite.
