Chandrayaan-3: India’s Endeavor to Reshape Lunar History, Walking the Path of America, Russia, and China
For years, the roster of nations venturing to the moon was limited to just the United States, Russia, and China. Yet, winds of change are in the air, as India now stands on the precipice of reshuffling this established lunar hierarchy.
In a pivotal moment set for Wednesday evening, India is poised to etch its name in history by achieving a successful soft landing of Chandrayaan-3 on the moon’s surface, positioning itself as the fourth country ever to accomplish this remarkable milestone.
Diverging from Russia’s lunar initiative, the ‘Luna 25’ mission, Chandrayaan-3’s prospects for triumph shine brighter. While ‘Luna 25’ aimed to land approximately 100 kilometers from Chandrayaan-3’s designated touch-down site, India’s mission benefits from the insights gleaned during the Chandrayaan-2 campaign.
“Warm Welcome, Buddy” Drawing upon past experiences, Chandrayaan-3’s module has been meticulously fine-tuned to navigate unforeseen turbulence during the landing phase. Essentially, this enhancement presents scientists with an opportunity to recalibrate and rescue the landing should any last-minute anomalies emerge, a scenario familiar in the realm of lunar exploration.
Reports indicate successful communication establishment between Chandrayaan-2’s operational orbiter in the moon’s orbit and the descending Chandrayaan-3. As Chandrayaan-3 descends toward the lunar surface, a message from Chandrayaan-2 extends a cordial welcome – “Welcome buddy.”
The landing mission encompasses several pivotal components, including the Pragyaam Lunar Rover. While ‘Luna 25’ was dispatched subsequent to the launch of Chandrayaan-3, its aim was to assume the lead in landing. In contrast, Chandrayaan-3 capitalized on the luxury of additional time, meticulously surveying and assessing its surroundings, ultimately pinpointing an optimal landing site.
A Glimpse into the Process In an evocative event preceding the much-anticipated landing, Science and Technology Minister Jitendra Singh unveiled a time-lapse video on Tuesday morning. This captivating two-minute presentation endeavors to unveil and elucidate each stage of Chandrayaan-3’s construction, providing a glimpse into the meticulous efforts that underlie this ambitious mission.”
