Sriharikota, July 22: To complete 3,84,000 km from earth, with the aim to explore uncharted lunar space, India’s indigenous moon mission, the ramification of ISRO’s tireless efforts, Chandrayaan 2 takes off to the space to meet Moon again.
Chandrayaan 2 is the most ambitious and complex mission of India. Chandrayaan 2 is an Indian lunar mission that will boldly go where no country has ever gone before — the Moon's south polar region. Through this effort, the aim is to improve our understanding of the Moon — discoveries that will benefit India and humanity as a whole. These insights and experiences aimed at a paradigm shift in how lunar expeditions are approached for years to come — propelling further voyages into the farthest frontiers.
Chandrayaan-2 is an engineering marvel. It demonstrates ISRO’s capability to fire powerful rockets, carry heavy payloads, navigate in space, perform complex procedures and showcases expertise in signalling and communications, cartography, sensor technology, and chemistry.
A series of manoeuvres will be carried out to raise its orbit and put Chandrayaan-2 on Lunar Transfer Trajectory, says ISRO. On entering Moon's sphere of influence, on-board thrusters will slow down the spacecraft for Lunar Capture. The Orbit of Chandrayaan-2 around the moon will be circularized to 100x100 km orbit through a series of orbital manoeuvres.
The carrying payloads that will carry multiple data-gathering experiments, from ranging and mapping to mineral exploration. Most important is the exploration of water (Chandrayaan -1 detected water molecules).
On this mission, K Siva, ISRO’s chief said, “Chandrayaan 2 is the next leap in technology of soft landing on the farthest side of the moon”.
