New Delhi. Indian Space Agency ISRO’s Chandrayaan-3 is rapidly moving towards the moon. Today, on August 5, at around seven in the evening, it will be put in the first orbit of the moon. After this, the speed of Chandrayaan will be reduced continuously till August 23 because on August 23, soft landing of this spacecraft will be done on the surface of the moon.
According to the gravity of the Moon, the current speed of Chandrayaan-3 of 38,520 km per hour is very high. Gradually it will be reduced to a speed of 3600 km per hour. If everything goes according to planning, then Chandrayaan will reach its destination in this way.
- On August 17, after making 5 rounds, the spacecraft will reach an altitude of 100 km. After this, the lander module and propulsion module of Chandrayaan-3 will be separated.
On August 18, the deboosting process will reduce the speed of Chandrayaan’s lander module. To reduce the speed, it will be rotated in the opposite direction by giving a rotation of 180 degrees. To go towards the moon, the speed will be reduced to 1 km per second.
Lander module deorbiting will be done on 20 August. The lander of Chandrayaan-3 will be inserted into the lunar orbit of 100X30 km. - On August 23, at around 5:47 pm, the lander of Chandrayaan-3 can be landed on the lunar surface.
What is the purpose of Chandrayaan
India wants to study the moon through Chandrayaan 3. He will remove the curtain from all the mysteries related to the moon. Chandrayaan 3 will send pictures of the lunar surface, collect all the information related to its atmosphere, minerals, soil etc. Let us tell you that in 2008, when ISRO successfully launched India’s first lunar mission Chandrayaan-1, it orbited the moon and discovered water molecules on the lunar surface.
