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.”
