Chandrayaan-3 Can Be Launched Next Year, Orbiter Will Not Be In The Campaign

Chandrayaan-3 is expected to be launched in early 2021 as part of India’s lunar mission. Unlike Chandrayaan-2, it will not have an ‘orbiter’ but it will have a ‘lander’ and a ‘rover’. After the ‘Hard Landing’ of Chandrayaan-2 on the lunar surface in September last year, the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) planned another mission for the final months of this year.

However, the coronavirus epidemic and lockdown affected many ISRO projects and delayed missions such as Chandrayaan-3. A statement issued in the PMO quoting Minister Dr. Jitendra Singh said, “As far as Chandrayaan-3 is concerned, it is likely to be launched sometime in early 2021.

Chandrayaan-3 will be a re-mission of Chandrayaan-2 and will have a lander and a rover like Chandrayaan-2. “

Chandrayaan-2 was launched on 22 July last year. It was planned to land on the moon’s south pole. But the lander Vikram made a hard landing on September 7 and in his first attempt, India’s dream of touching the surface of the Earth’s satellite was broken. The arbiter sent under the campaign is doing good work and sending information. Chandrayaan-1 was launched in 2008.

Singh said, “ISRO’s first lunar mission has sent some pictures which show that the poles of the moon look like rust.” The statement said that scientists of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) say that it is possible that the Earth’s own atmosphere is helping it, in other words, it means that the Earth’s atmosphere also protects the Moon. Are doing Thus, Chandrayaan-1 data indicates that there is water on the pole of the moon, scientists are trying to find out.

Meanwhile, preparations are on for India’s first mission to send humans to space. The minister said, “There were some hurdles from Covid-19 in preparation for Gaganyaan but efforts are on to meet the deadline around 2022.”

What HBO said

“We are proud to once again tell the story of Harry Potter — the heartwarming books that speak to power of friendship, resolve and acceptance. JK Rowling has a right to express her personal views. We will remain focused on the development of the new series, which will only benefit from her involvement,” HBO’s statement stated.

It also added that its parent company Warner Bros “been working with JK Rowling and in the Harry Potter business for over 20 years” and “her contribution has been invaluable.” The report also states that HBO chief Casey Bloys informed the media at an event on November 12 that JK Rowling was “very, very involved in the process selecting the writer and the director,” and her anti-trans statements “haven’t affected the casting or hiring of writers or productions staff.”

A couple of days before that, Rowling had shared a screenshot of a tweet by an X user who wrote, “My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined” when the author had revealed that she’s “very involved” in the Harry Potter series. Rowling wrote along with the screenshot, “I’ve only just seen this response to me saying I’m very involved in the Harry Potter TV show and I think I’ve pulled something laughing.”

About Harry Potter series

Warner Bros launched an open casting call for the leads Harry, Hermoine and Ron, who were played by Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint, respectively, in the eight-part movie franchise.

The series will most likely go ahead with newcomers for the top three characters and mix it with veterans for the adult cast, like the movie franchise, which featured Richard Harris as Dumbledore and roped in Michael Gambon after his death. Late star Maggie Smith played Professor McGonagall, and Alan Rickman starred as Professor Snape.

Mark Rylance, 64, who won an Academy Award for best supporting actor in 2016 for his work in Steven Spielberg’s Bridge of Spies, is reportedly at the top of the casting wishlist to play Dumbledore in the Harry Potter series.
