The Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) is expected to start preparing for its next lunar mission, called Chandrayaan-3, which will launch in late 2020. Recent reports indicate that the space agency is planning November 2020 as the time to launch your next mission. mission on the moon
While details are scarce at this time, Chandrayaan-3 would be a collaborative project with the Japanese space agency JAXA and would send a lunar rover to the south pole of the moon.
According to previous reports, the Chandrayaan-3 lunar craft project could also see NASA involvement. However, nothing appears to have been finalized and formalized at the moment. On the other hand, the documents published by JAXA reveal the launch of the year 2023. JAXA participates in the development of the rocket and the rover, while ISRO is developing the. Lander.
The mission payload should be around 500 kg and the total launch mass 6 tons or more. In the JAXA report, the mission's goal is primarily to collect samples, find water or ice prospects, and analyze the surrounding area.
As the Chandrayaan-3 mission begins to take shape, we will have more clarity on the mission project, including the schedule and planned operational period.
The Chandrayaan program, also known as ISRO's Indian Lunar Exploration Program, aims to explore the moon by landing on the surface of research and development-focused rovers for the purpose of exploring the moon. Scientific analysis of various regions.
To date, India has completed one mission, Chandrayaan 1, launched on October 22, 2008. The probe has found water on the moon. It conducted several scientific analyzes, completing 95% of its main objects before ISRO lost all contact with the probe after 312 days of operation in orbit.
ISRO planned and launched the Chandrayaan-2 on July 22, 2019, and the lander would land in the south polar region. However, on September 7, ISRO lost all communication with the Vikram Lander while attempting to land on the moon. ISRO reports that the Vikram Lander is intact and will collect data for the next 7,5 years, but there has been no contact since.
On this note, let's take a look at the latest image sent by the Chandrayaan-2 spacecraft to ISRO. Your visualization.
