Historic Moment For India

 
 ISRO'S Chandrayaan -2 plans first ever moon landing in 2018.

GSLV-F10 / Chandrayaan-2 mission 

      After chandrayaan-1 launched in 2008 was success,ISRO is preparing the second mission,chandrayaan -2 for landing. ISRO is gearing up to land its very first lunar rover by the end of MARCH 2018,as part of its chandrayaan-2 mission. 

        Chandrayaan-1 was launched from Sriharikota of the east cost of india at an estimated value of $83 MILLION. ISRO'S 5-foot by 5-foot cube made it into lunar orbit and discovered some "magmatic water" on a moon crater. but, in November 2008, the spacecraft crashes into the Moon and got lost in the lunar orbit. the craft had fulfilled almost 80 percent of its tasks before it lost contact with ISRO. it was found again by NASA in 2016.

      Now in 2018 ISRO is paling to send three unmanned vehicles which include, an  orbiter craft that will hover above the moon's surface,plus a rover and a lander that will safely, plop that rover on the moon. This will be the ISRO'S first attempt to get a more delicate and precise u-close look at the lunar surface.

    The lander will take a close look at the lunar crust and mantle, and make a soft landing to deploy the rover. to facilitate this , the team identified methods as well as the associated technologies including a high-resolution camera, navigation camera, hazard avoidance camera, altimeter, velocity meter, and the software needed to run these components etc.. 

     The lander will not engage in any scientific activities and its weigh 1,250 kg. the lander will alowly descend until it reaches 2 meters above location.The lander will autonomously determine the trajectory necessary to bring its to desired landing site, and steer itself to a location 100 meters above the site.

chandrayaan-2 spacecraft  

  Chandrayaan-2 spacecraft weight about 2,650 kg at lift-off of which the orbiter weight is about 1,400 kg and lander weight is about 1,250 kg. Development of the subsystems of the orbiter and the rover is in progress at ISRO country in Bangalore, Ahmedabad.
