All modules getting ready for Chandrayaan-2 launch during the window of July 09 to July 16, 2019
Chandrayaan-2, India’s second lunar mission, has three modules namely Orbiter, Lander (Vikram) & Rover (Pragyan).
The Orbiter and Lander modules will be interfaced mechanically and stacked together as an integrated module and accommodated inside the GSLV MK-III launch vehicle.
The Rover is housed inside the Lander. After launch into earth bound orbit by GSLV MK-III, the integrated module will reach Moon orbit using Orbiter propulsion module. Subsequently, Lander will separate from the Orbiter and soft land at the predetermined site close to lunar South Pole.
Further, the Rover will roll out for carrying out scientific experiments on the lunar surface. Instruments are also mounted on Lander and Orbiter for carrying out scientific experiments.
All the modules are getting ready for Chandrayaan-2 launch during the window of July 09 to July 16, 2019, with an expected Moon landing on September 06, 2019.
ISRO plans to send humans in space by 2022.Government has announced 10000 crore for this mission.
Emergency Manager magazine thinks that Indian lunar mission will enhance the technological advancement of India.It will also help India in staking territorial rights on moon surface.As moon will be the new human frontier to explore for settlement and procurement of resources like minerals etc for humankind,it is essential that India joins the race early.Agriculture ,mining,creation of infrastructure,communication and transportation are few fields which will see revolutionary improvement through Indian lunar mission.
