Introduction
Chandrayaan-3 is India’s third lunar mission, launched by ISRO in 2023. It consists of a lander and a rover, but no orbiter. It aims to explore the south pole of the Moon and conduct scientific experiments. Building upon the legacy of its predecessors, it sets itself apart with its primary objective: achieving a soft landing on the Moon’s surface, something the earlier missions couldn’t accomplish.
Body
Main task of India’s third moon mission which could not be achieved in its earlier mission
Countries that have Achieved this Task:
Subsystems in the Chandrayaan 3 Spacecraft:
i-Propellant Propulsion System (MMH + MON3), 4 nos. of 800 N Throttleable engines & 8 nos. of 58 N Throttleable Engine Control Electronics
The Virtual Launch Control Centre (VLCC) at Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre (VSSC) is a state-of-the-art facility that employs artificial intelligence and machine learning to adapt and respond to real-time changes in the rocket launch environment. The VLCC helps in ensuring the success of India’s space missions.
Role of the ‘Virtual Launch Control Centre’ in the Successful Launch of Chandrayaan-3 Mission:
Conclusion
The success of India’s third moon mission would be a significant milestone, elevating its stature in the realm of space exploration. It will not only bring technological prowess but also pave the way for future missions, making India a significant player in the future of space exploration.
