ISRO is all set to launch Chandrayaan-3 Mission on July 14

The Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) is going to launch Chandrayaan-3, the third lunar ambitious exploration mission to the moon on July 14 @ 2.35 PM from the Satish Dhawan Space Center in Sriharikota. It is expected to reach moon in 45-48 days after the launch. 

 

Chandrayaan-3

Chandrayaan-3 comprises of lander and rover but doesn't have an orbiter like in Chandrayaan 2 The Propulsion Module will act as a communication rely satellite that carries until the space craft is in 100 km Lunar Orbit . It also carries a payload called Spectro Polarimetry of Habitable Planet Earth ( SHAPE) to study  various  Spectric and Polarimetric measurements of Earth from the lunar orbit.

 

ISRO has set three main objectives for the Chandrayaan-3 which includes Safer and Soft Landing on the Moon. The rovers demonstrating and observing capabilities on the moon, In-site Scientific experiments and observations  regarding various chemical and natural elements like water, soil etc on the Moon's surface, Understanding and Practicing the composition of the moon 

Once the spacecraft enters the gravitational area of the moon it will undergo the orbit reducing procedures to lower its attitude and enters the circular orbit around the moon known as Lunar Orbit Insertion (LOI). LOI involves precise engine firings that slows down the speed of the spacecraft and allows to capture the gravity of the moon.

 

 

ISRO has successfully placed Three Satellites in the right orbit mission

The Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) has successfully launched the most awaited space craft radar all weather, day and night imaging satellite EOS-04 and Two others onboard PSLV-C52 on Monday. At 5.59 AM the first launch pad of at Satish Dhawan Space Center in Sriharikota with the three satellities was successfully placed in the right orbits.

ISRO-EOS4

Around 17 minutes after lift-off  EOS-04 satellite was placed in a sun synchronous orbit.After a minute the rocket injected the two other satellites INS-2TD and inspiresat-1.After 22 minutes the fourth stage was inactivated to remove two propellaries like mixed oxides of nitrogen (MON followed by monomethyl hydrazine(MMH) that power PSLV's upper stage. This process lasted for Ten Minutes. This process of removal of any leftover fuel in the rocket is to prevent the explosion of rocket on upper stages. The upper stage either performs an idle burn or release the remaining propellants.

This mission was PSLV's  54th flight and 23rd Mission using PSLV-XL configuration and PSOM-XLSs. This space is going to be one of the biggest assets to serve the country.  It is an earth observation mission that was developed using the state-of- art technology SAR and will serve in the sectors of agriculture,disaster management and assessment, Soil Moisture, Forest and plantation management,carbon inventory. etc....

The Satellite will be ready to deliver the glimpse of the best high quality images under all weather conditions for  various applocations.EOS-4 is a radar imaging satellite with a mssion life of 10 years and has taken the dream of opening the space sector with industry participation that prints,assembles and tests. It collects earth observation data in C-brand and complements data from RISAT -2B Series and Resourcestat Crrtostat series. INS-2TD, a demonstrator from ISRO, is a technology demonstrator with a mission life of six months and inspirestat-1, developed in Indian institute of Space,Science and Technology(IIST)  has a mission life of one year
