In this video, we have provided detail information about the journey of Chandryaan 2 which will be launched from Satish Dhawan Space Center, Shirharikota on 15-July 2019 and will land on moon September-2019. We have explained every stage of the mission in details.
This video will provide you all the necessary information that you should know about Chandryaan 2 launch and it’s landing on the moon.
Isro announced that on July 15th, 2019, Chandrayan 2 will be launched. The lander and the rover designed by ISRO will land near Southern pole of the moon, at around 700 latitude, between two craters. Despite many moon mission, this area of the moon is yet unexplored. The project Chandryan 2 will place India, in a club of countries that have mastered cutting edge technology and are also capable of exploring horizons of space sciences. But before we get into details of the achievements let us explain the intricacies of how we will reach the moon.
VO- As soon as the announcement was made, in order to get the first glimpses of Chandrayan, our team reached, Satellite Integration and Test Establishment, located in Bangalore, on 12th June. This is where media was invited to look at the Chandrayan 2, for the first time. The three important of Chandrayan II were shown to media, these were the Orbiter, the Lander which is named Vikram, after Vikram Sarabhai, generally known as the father of Indian space program and the Rover, which is called Pragyan. When integrated the three will weigh 3.8 ton. After integration, the payload will be launched through Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle, generally called GSLV-III.
Let us see now how will Chandrayan II complete its journey from earth to the moon.
On July 15th, at exactly 51 minutes past 2 in the morning GSLV-III will be launched from Satish Dhawan space center located at Srihari Kota. Soon the launch first phase will be over when the S-200 will be separated and L-110 strap-on rockets will start functioning. During the third phase, C-25 engines will inject the payload into an earth parking orbit, with perigee and apogee 170 x40400 Km. It is during this phase that the first most difficult maneuver will be carried out for about five days. Gradually the orbit will be raised to put Chandrayan II, into a lunar transfer orbit. The onboard thrusters will slow down spacecraft so that it is successfully captured by the moon’s gravity, which is only about 16% of earth’s gravitational force. Chandrayan 2 will enter the moon’s orbit on 5th or 6th of August. It will remain in Lunar orbit for the next 27 days, send the relevant data to earth and then lander Vikram, along with rover will be detached from the orbiter. Gradually lander revolving around the moon, and scanning the safest and most relevant landing site, will reach at a distance of 30 kilometers. This is the most difficult phase of the entire mission. The decision to spot and select the best landing spot will ensure the success of the mission. In the next 15 minutes, it will have to decide the spot for a soft landing. On 6th September 2019, Vikram will soft land on the surface of the moon. Just after landing Vikaram will release Rover Pragyan. The rover will start moving on the surface at a speed of one second per centimeter. It is designed to scan a distance of 500 meters in the next 14 days. After 15 minutes of its landing rover will start sending data and photographs to orbiter which will transfer it to the earth station.
