Chandrayaan

Chandrayaan-3

India finally launched Chandrayaan-3 on 14 July 2023 at 2:35 pm from the Satish Dhawan Space Center at Shiri Hari Kota in Andhra Pradesh.

This is India’s third lunar mission, its sole objective is to smoothly land the rover on the Moon.

Now many questions will come in the mind like we have given below-.

1. What is Chandrayaan ?
2. If no human is present in Chandrayaan then what will it do by going there. ?
3. what will happen on the Moon ?
4. Why is Chandrayaan going to on the Moon?
5. Why will Chandrayaan take 42 days to reach on the Moon?

if we talk about Chandrayaan-1 We sent it to the moon in 2008, then there was no Pragyan Rover attached to it.  At that time, our sole objective was to reach the moon and circumnavigate it. “We achieved success with this experiment.”

In 2019, we launched Chandrayaan-2, a mission aimed at reaching the moon with an added rover named Pragyan, intended for conducting research on its surface. Unfortunately, due to unforeseen reasons, the mission encountered difficulties during its soft landing phase, resulting in either an unsuccessful programmed landing or a hard landing. Consequently, the rover, which had been meticulously crafted through immense dedication, was unable to touch down on the moon. The mission, therefore, was officially declared as a failure.Do you know ? that Russia, America and China reached the moon within three to four days. So why is India taking so long.It is theoretically possible to send Chandrayaan to its destination in 3 to 4 days, but accomplishing this would necessitate a higher fuel capacity or a more powerful propulsion system. Such a faster journey would demand increased energy and resources to achieve the desired acceleration and velocity. However, it is worth noting that the specific constraints and considerations of space travel, including weight limitations, mission objectives, and technological capabilities, need to be carefully assessed before making any decisions regarding the duration and feasibility of a mission. It’s simple, their rockets were a bit too powerful, they were reaching straight to the moon using straight fuel.Chandrayaan-3 is the rocket you are seeing, its job is only to deliver the rover and the goal of soft landing. The launch process will initiate smoothly, propelling the spacecraft into space. Upon reaching its intended destination, the spacecraft will undergo a controlled landing, making a gentle impact on the surface. Once the landing is successful, the space shift gate, if present, will open seamlessly, allowing the rover to safely exit the spacecraft and begin its exploration mission. The entire sequence will be carefully orchestrated to ensure a smooth transition from landing to rover deployment.

This is the goal of Chandrayaan, now India has tried this again. If India achieves success in this endeavor, it will ascend to the fourth position in the world on such a scale. This accomplishment will signify a significant milestone in India’s space exploration achievements, demonstrating its growing capabilities and contributions to the global space community.But India is adopting an efficiency way which means using less fuel to send it into space and then using gravity to reach the moon with less fuel or less power efficiency. this is the Goal of India. The primary objective of studying the moon is to analyze its soil, dust, water, or any other substances present in any form. The mission’s aim is to collect samples from the moon’s surface for detailed research and analysis. Whether we study it independently or collaborate with other countries, the focus remains on acquiring valuable data and insights about lunar conditions. In the event that collaborative efforts are not possible, we will conduct our own research and generate essential data from the samples gathered during the mission. The pursuit of knowledge about the moon and its resources is of paramount importance, as it not only advances our understanding of the lunar environment but also paves the way for potential future missions and utilization of lunar resources for the benefit of humanity.It is important to clarify that no individual or country can claim ownership of the moon or any other celestial body. According to international law, specifically the Outer Space Treaty signed by numerous nations, celestial bodies are considered the common heritage of mankind. This means that no entity can assert exclusive ownership rights over them. The Outer Space Treaty, as an international agreement, establishes principles and guidelines for the peaceful exploration and use of outer space. It explicitly prohibits any claims of sovereignty over celestial bodies, including the moon, and promotes cooperation among nations in space exploration and research. By adhering to this treaty, countries recognize that space is a shared resource meant for the benefit and advancement of all humankind. It ensures that space exploration remains a collaborative and peaceful endeavor, fostering international cooperation and the pursuit of knowledge and progress beyond the confines of our planet.

Among the 195 countries in the world, only three nations—Russia, America, and China—have accomplished the remarkable feat of successful space exploration.
