India Makes History with Chandrayaan-3 Landing on Moon's South Pole


Chandrayaan-3 

India made history on August 23, 2023, when its Chandrayaan-3 spacecraft successfully landed on the lunar surface near the south pole. The landing was the culmination of a year-long mission that began with the launch of Chandrayaan-3 on July 14, 2022.

The Chandrayaan-3 mission consists of orbitor of chandrayaan-2, a lander and a rover. The lander, named Vikram, is the first spacecraft to land near the moon's south pole. The rover, named Pragyaan, will be deployed from the lander and will explore the lunar surface. The orbiter will remain in orbit around the moon and will provide support for the lander and rover.

Lander & Rover

The landing of Chandrayaan-3 was a challenging task, as the south pole region of the moon is covered in craters and mountains. However, the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) successfully executed the landing, thanks to the precision of its navigation and guidance systems.This mission will work only for 14 days as one lunar day is equal to 14 earth days, rover and lander were totally depends on solar energy, and sunset after 14 days then the batteries in lander and rover get discharge, this comes breakdown of communication with lander and rover.

The landing of Chandrayaan-3 is a major achievement for India and a significant step forward in its space program. It is also a major boost for the global exploration of the moon. The data and images collected by Chandrayaan-3 will help scientists learn more about the moon's geology, history, and potential for resources.

The landing of Chandrayaan-3 is a testament to the hard work and dedication of the ISRO team. It is also a reminder of the importance of international cooperation in space exploration. The success of Chandrayaan-3 would not have been possible without the support of the Russian Space Agency, which provided the Vikram lander with its propulsion system.

Chandrayaan-3 Path

The landing of Chandrayaan-3 is a historic moment for India and for the world. It is a reminder of the human potential to achieve great things, and it inspires us to dream even bigger for the future of space exploration.

In the coming days and weeks, the Pragyaan rover will be deployed from the Vikram lander and will begin to explore the lunar surface. The rover is equipped with a variety of instruments that will allow it to study the composition of the lunar soil, the presence of water ice, and the history of the moon.

Live Image While Landing 

The data and images collected by the Pragyaan rover will be invaluable to scientists as they work to understand the moon's past and present. The rover's findings could also have implications for future human exploration of the moon.

The landing of Chandrayaan-3 is a major milestone in India's space program and a significant step forward in the global exploration of the moon. It is a testament to the hard work and dedication of the ISRO team, and it inspires us to dream even bigger for the future of space exploration.

After this mission ISRO launch the Aditya L1 to study the sun and also the chief of ISRO tell this mission help in man on mission by ISRO. As we study about the atmosphere and presence of oxygen, water that help our astronauts research on moon for long time.

About James Webb Space Telescope

JAMES WEBB SPACE TELESCOPE  JAMES WEBB SPACE TELESCOPE Firstly we need to know about the space telescope. It is a telescope which is placed in outer space and used to observe astronomical objects. And also used to study different types of light phenomenon like Aurora lights and to study hottest and most explosive object. Currently, NASA had launched a space telescope named as JAMES WEBB SPACE TELESCOPE [JWST] . It was made by international collaboration among NASA, the European Space Agency, and the Canadian Space Agency. It works as a replacement of Hubble Space Telescope. JWST was launched on 25 December 2021 on Arian Flight VA256. Firstly it was named as Next Generation Space Telescope and after some time name change to James Webb Space Telescope. There are some properties of JWST are Mass- 6161.4kg , Dimensions- 20.197m×14.162m , Power- 2KW. It operates in a Halo orbit, circling around a point in space known as the Sun-Earth Lagrange Point, approx 1500000km beyond Earth orbit aroun

Lifecycle of a star : Birth to Death

STARS AND PLANETS  Star A star is a luminous and biggest object in the universe that emit light naturally. Sun is also a star. The study of birth , life and death of a stars is called stellar evolution. First stage in the birth of star is called protostar and the death of star is called supernova .  FORMATION OF A STAR BY CLOUD OF DUST How stars are formed ? Stars are made by cloud of gases and dust that scattered throughout the galaxies. The cloud of dust is called the orion nebula . As gravitational force of attraction applied on cloud they collapses and when cloud collapse the material at the center get heat up so that all stars and planet have high temperature at core. A star build by continuous process of gravitational pull cloud collapse to make its size bigger. The size of star (or mass of a star) reaches from  15 to 130 solar masses . At center the temperature gets extremely high, it tigger the fusion reaction. All the material that has fallen in then evolves into a hot and br

AURORA: THE LIGHT OF POLES

Space view of Aurora Lights  Firstly, we need to know about the aurora. Auroras are the light which is produced naturally by collision of charge particles with gasses molecules present in the atmosphere. Predominantly sun in high latitude region like arctic and Antarctic. This light produces always at poles because magnetic field of earth is stronger on the poles and also the density of magnetic field lines is high there. Thus, a large number of charge particles found at the poles. The charge particles collide with the gasses to making them excited that cause  coloured visible light. When the charge particle collides with oxygen molecules then green light is emitted mostly but sometimes it produce red light and when collides with nitrogen molecules then more pink , orange or red colours emitted. Different types of Aurora Light seen on different places  These light appearing near the North Pole and South Pole. Scientist name these light as at North Pole light called “ Aurora borealis
