Mission Chandrayaan: A giant leap in India’s space travel

Carrying India’s hopes and dreams in India’s third mission to the Moon, Chandrayaan-3 was successfully launched on July 14, 2023, from the Satish Dhawan Space Center in Sriharikota, Andhra Pradesh. The successful launch shows that India’s space organisation, ISRO, has the capability to make a safe and soft landing near the Moon’s south pole. The rover moving on the surface of the moon will study the atmosphere there. Chandrayaan-3 will have to ensure a journey of more than a month before landing on the lunar surface around 23-24 August. If it does so successfully, India will become the fourth country after the US, Russia and China to safely land on the lunar surface and also the first to touch the Moon’s south pole. The Chandrayaan-3 mission is expected to be a defining moment for India, providing an edge in the race for space exploration and contributing to the Indian economy. A successful landing will boost investor confidence, attract private investment in space technology and create thousands of jobs. The Indian space industry, which has supplied space-grade hardware for the mission, will also benefit from increased revenue streams and investments. The mission will also open up business opportunities for Indian companies and startups in the space sector, enhance India’s goodwill in the space league and serve as a technology demonstrator for future Moon missions. With the success of Mission Shakti, India would have also demonstrated its satellite technological capability by placing a satellite 300 km away in Low Earth Orbit (LEO), marking a major milestone in the history of India’s space programme. The aim of this missile technology was to strengthen the overall security of India and it became the fourth country in the world after the United States, Russia and China. The nation has every reason to be proud of this historic achievement by our scientists, despite an extremely tight schedule and other constraints. Earlier, with the successful ‘flight’ of ‘Mangalyaan’, India also took a giant leap in its journey towards Mars and became the fourth country in the world to launch such a mission after the United States, Russia and the European Union. I went. China is far behind. With the successful launch of 104 satellites on a single mission on February 14, 2017, India created history by surpassing the previous record of 37 satellites launched by Russia in 2014. With the launch of 11 satellites from a single spacecraft, India demonstrated its might. Space technology in the year 2008. With the successful launch of 6 satellites in February 2013, it was once again proved that India is a force to be reckoned with in the field of space technology. India’s Capabilities in Space Programs: With these developments, India is one of the few countries that have realized the vast potential of space technology for national development. It is a member of an elite group of few countries with the capability to launch and operate their own satellites. Today, the Indian space program has not only achieved considerable self-reliance in space technology but has also promoted its commercial use. Backed by its rich expertise acquired over the years, it is bound to continue as the global leader in the space industry. Due to the recent trends of globalization, liberalisation, privatization and commercialization, the sector is bound to experience a number of legal issues including contract fulfillment and dispute resolution, which involve huge stakes and the current legal structure is ill-equipped to deal with these changes. is insufficient. Therefore, there is an urgent need for India to legislate on these issues. Conclusion: The legal concerns revolving around the use of outer space for security and defense purposes by various countries are gradually taking the shape of an important discussion in International Space Law. This question is all the more important in the light of the fact that space and its resources can be made accessible to all nations, not just the superpowers. The barriers to entry are lower than ever, and many countries are enjoying access to space and its benefits in unprecedented numbers. Today, space is the field of a growing number of satellite operators; About 60 nations and government associations operate satellites, as well as many commercial and educational satellite operators. Paradoxically, while space is becoming easier to access as well as benefit from it, space is also becoming increasingly congested and contested. CREDIT NEWS: thehansindia
