Chandrayaan-2: broken contact with 'Vikram' 2.1 km before lunar surface
ISRO
headquarters lost contact with Chandrayaan-2 in the last few minutes. ISRO
Chief K Sivan says that we lost contact with Vikram Lander 2.1 km before the
lunar surface. Scientists are currently studying data.
Prime
Minister Narendra Modi has reached the ISRO Center in Bangalore to witness the
success of the Chandrayaan-2 mission. He is also accompanied by 70 students
selected through quiz competition. They have reached the ISRO's telemetry,
tracking and command network to witness the landing. The PM congratulated the
scientists before leaving for Bangalore. The PM said that people see the
landing of Chandrayaan-2 and click the picture and tweet. The PM said, 130
crore Hindustani were waiting for this moment. India and the world will once
again see the power of our scientists.
The world is
waiting for this moment along with ISRO scientists. With this, India will
become the first country in the world to reach the Moon's South Pole region.
ISRO Chief K Sivan has said that the mission is proceeding according to the
Chandrayaan plan. He has informed that the process of landing of Chandrayaan is
going on at normal speed.
A few hours
before the Chandrayaan 2 lander 'Vikram' proposed 'soft landing' on the moon,
ISRO chairman K Sivan said that things are proceeding as planned for this much
awaited landing. Sivan said that we are eagerly waiting for this (landing).
Everything is going according to plan.
Difference between Chandrayaan-2 and
Chandrayaan-1
Former ISRO
scientist Nambi Narayanan said that if you compare Chandrayaan 2 with Chandrayaan
1, the basic difference is that here we are doing soft landing. The first
landing was done with PSLV and here we are using GSLV Mk III. This means that
we have far more payload capabilities than ever before.
ISRO has
also informed about the live landing on its Twitter handle. It has been
reported that Chandrayaan-2's live landing can be seen on ISRO's official
YouTube channel. The YouTube channel will go live at 1:10 pm on September 7.
Doordarshan will also give an opportunity to witness this historical moment.
There will be live telecast on DD National Channel from 1 pm. Apart from this,
the landing will also be broadcast live on the official YouTube channel of
Doordarshan.
So 95 percent successful
The Vikram
lander went on its trajectory, as planned, from a height of 35 km to 2 km in
the moon's sky. All its systems and sensors were completely fine. The mission
has so far met 90 to 95 percent of the objectives as per the standards for each
stage set for success. Despite losing contact with the lander, we will continue
to get a lot of information and data about the moon from the orbiter.
What will be the benefit from the mission?
The orbiter
will now increase our understanding on the evolution of the Moon in the next
few times. Will prepare its maps, assess minerals and explore the possibility
of water at the poles of the moon. For this, eight scientific instruments have
been installed in it.
