India is on its way to the moon. What only three countries have done so far. But if they succeed, they will be the first nation to land near the South Pole of the Moon. Less explored than other parts of the Earth’s surface.
The Indian Space Agency said the first part went well. But for now, we’ll have to wait until at least August 23 to see if India can do what no one else can. It’s a landing on the south side of the moon.
Thank you for joining us today. Zoya Mateen, Meryl Sebastian, Gita Pandey and Arnoday Mokerjee got the latest from India, while Anna Boise, Antoinette Radford, Jack Burgess and I joined in London. Since this page will soon end, I will summarize here the success of India’s space launch.
Chandrayaan 3 Spacecraft On Friday at 2:35 pm (9:05 GMT), cheers and applause will erupt from Satish Dhawan Space Center.
The project manager said the launch was a moment of national pride.
Many Indians wrote on Twitter that they were stunned by the missile explosion. “Goosebumps and Goosebumps”. If successful, the rover will land on the moon on August 23 or 24. This makes India the fourth country to make a soft landing on the Moon, after the United States, the former Soviet Union and China. The launch of the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) will be India’s first major mission. Since Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s government announced policies to increase investment in the aerospace industry.
Indian missile launch
People came to see it from all over India. And millions are watching on TVs, smartphones and tablets. But the launch here seems to be closer to his Chandrayaan-3. Watch: Rocket Moment Chandrayaan-3 Separation. Now is the time for satellite missions that have been cut off from the Chandrayaan-3 rocket.
The satellite is currently heading for the moon
India aims to become the first country to land near the lunar south pole, which is still unexplored. The heat of the launch fascinated India. People across India watched the launch of this mission. Today Chandrayaan 3 and students watched the live broadcast on the big screen at the Jawaharlal Nehru Planetarium in Bangalore.
This is a new chapter in India’s space story, Modi says
‘Chandrayan-3′ A new chapter begins in India’s space story,” Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Twitter. Uplifting the dreams and hopes of all Indians. ” It’s been called Prime Minister’s “very big achievement”. And the proof is that he said of the Indian scientists’ “unrelenting dedication,” “I admire their spirit and creativity.” Dr Jitendra Singh, Minister of Science and Technology of India also said: Chandrayaan-3 India models its own capabilities and adheres to the idea of self-reliance. Home Minister Amit Shah congratulated the scientists. “Thanks to its tireless efforts, today’s India has been put on the path of writing a great space epic that future generations will admire.” Water is more likely to be found at the lunar south pole.
Chandrayaan-3 Vikram successfully landed on the moon in August. India becomes the first country to land near the unexplored Antarctic.
This is the region that remains in the shadows and is much larger than the Moon’s north pole.
And scientists say water is likely to be found in this area. ISRO Chairman Shridhara Panicker Somanath said of India: “Antarctica is of growing scientific interest because we’ve reached the equator where it’s safe to land, and there’s a lot of data to back it up.” “If we want to make important scientific discoveries, we have to go to new areas like Antarctica. But the risk of landing is high.” NASA also announced plans to send U.S. astronauts to the lunar south pole by 2024, primarily to explore water, an “important resource for long-term exploration.” “Water is essential to the progress of human exploration. It could be used to drink, cool, breathe, and make rocket fuel for missions further into the solar system,” he said. He added that the experience they gained on the Moon would be used. Help prepare astronauts to send to Mars.
