  • Mission Gaganyaan: After Moon-Sun, now Mission Gaganyaan, India ready to create history once again in space

    Mission Gaganyaan

    Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) will launch India’s first manned space mission Gaganyaan between 7 am and 9 am on October 21. This information has been given by ISRO in a tweet. ISRO has said that the Test Vehicle Development Flight (TV-D1) of the Gaganyaan mission will be launched in the morning on October 21. TV-D1 will be launched from the Satish Dhawan Space Center in Sriharikota, Andhra Pradesh.

    Indian Space Research Organization Chairman S Somnath had earlier said on Saturday that after the first TV-D1 test flight on October 21, the space agency will also carry out three more test flight missions of the ambitious Gaganyaan programme. He had said that in the Gaganyaan mission, human crew would be sent into space and they would be landed safely in the Indian Ocean. Three more test missions are D2, D3, D4.

    ISRO Chairman S Somnath had said at an event on Sunday that apart from its first manned space flight programme, ISRO is ready to carry out several exploration missions including Mars, Venus and Moon. While talking to the media, he had said that ISRO has also prepared a plan to launch a campaign to study the climate and weather conditions of the Earth. He also said that ISRO is also working on regular scientific missions including communication and remote sensing satellites.

    While explaining in detail about the upcoming missions, ISRO Chairman said that we have exploration missions. We plan to visit Mars, Venus as well as the Moon. We also have programs to assess Earth’s climate and weather. He emphasized that ISRO scientists will focus on routine missions like launching satellites for communication and remote sensing.

    When asked whether scientists were able to get any feedback from Chandrayaan-3’s Vikram lander, he said that Vikram has done its job very well. It was programmed to perform its functions during the lunar day (equivalent to 14 Earth days).

    Chandrayaan-3 successfully made a soft landing on the lunar surface on August 23. On ISRO’s first mission to study the Sun, Somnath said Aditya L-1 is absolutely fine and is on a 110-day long journey to the Lagrange point L1 and is expected to reach its target by mid-January. .

  • The success of Chandrayaan-3 gave Pakistan sleepless nights, now it is sending a payload to the moon.

    With the success of India’s Chandrayaan-3 mission, India’s stature has increased in the world. Whereas the poor neighboring country Pakistan is bowing its head in shame. Now to remove this shame, Pakistan is preparing to send one of its payloads to the moon. It is being told that Pakistan will send a small satellite CubeSat to the moon. However, Pakistan’s friend China, which is going through poverty, will also take a payload of Pakistan in its next lunar mission.

    China’s spacecraft will carry a payload from Pakistan

    In fact, China’s space agency has said that the country’s proposed lunar mission next year will also carry a payload for Pakistan. This is also being seen as increasing cooperation in the space sector between the two friendly countries. Government news agency Xinhua quoted China National Space Administration (CNSA) as saying that the Chang’e-6 lunar mission is currently undergoing research and development work as planned. According to the report of The Global Times, the launch of Chang’e-6 mission is proposed in 2024 and the purpose of this mission is to bring samples from the far side of the Moon.

    According to the report, all the 10 missions conducted by scientists so far to collect samples from the Moon have been focused on the near part of the Moon. Citing CNSA, the report said that the far side includes the Aitken Basin, which is one of the three major lunar landforms and is very important from a scientific point of view. CNSA said that in order to promote international cooperation, the Chang’e-6 mission will carry payloads and satellite projects from various countries, including France’s Dorne radon detection instrument, the European Space Agency’s negative ion detector, Italy’s laser retroreflector and Pakistan’s Small satellites include CubeSats.

    India’s Chandrayaan-3 has created history
    It is noteworthy that India’s Chandrayaan-3 created history by landing on the South Pole of the Moon on August 23. Before India, no country had been able to land its spacecraft on the south pole of the Moon. India has become the first country in the world to do so. At the same time, when Chandrayaan-3 lander took its first step on the moon, the eyes of the whole world were fixed on India. ISRO launched Chandrayaan from Sriharikota Space Station on July 14. All the countries of the world including America and Russia are considering India’s iron.
