Chandrayan 2
We have know that about chandrayan 2 the mission was launched to the moon from the second launch pad at satish Dhawan space centre. on 22nd July by a Geosynchronous satellite launch vechile Mark lll (GSLV MK III) with an approximate lift-off mass of 3,850 kg on Sri harikota Island. As of June 2019, the mission has allocated cost rs 978 crore (approximately US $141 milligan). Which includes rs 603 crore for space segment and rs 375 ccrore as launch Coast on GSLV MK III.
What happend with chandrayan are follows date by date:
22nd July - date of launch
24th July - first orbit raising maneuver
25th july - second orbit raising maneuver
29th July - third orbit raising maneuver
2nd Aug - fourth orbit raising maneuver
6th aug - fifth orbit raising maneuver
13th Aug - trans lunar injection
20th aug - lunar orbit insertion
first lunar bound maneuver
21st aug - second lunar bound maneuver
28th aug - third lunar bound maneuver
30th aug - fourth lunar bound maneuver
2nd sept - vikram separation
3rd Sept - first & second orbit burn
6th Sept - power descent and
Telemetry lost before the automated landing at about 2.1 km above the surface.
7th sept - pragyan rover deployments.
So, it has been happened with the mission chandrayan 2.
Chandrayan 2 stack was initially put in an earth parking orbit of 170 km perigee and 40,400 km ago gee by the launch vechile.
The mission's lander is called vikram, who is widely regarded as the founder of the Indian space programme. Engineering models of the lander began undergoing ground and aerial tests in late october 2016,in challekere in the chitradurga District of karnataka.
ISRO created roughly 10 craters on the surface to help assess the ability of the lander's sensors to select a landing site.
Feature of vikram lander:
- Dimensions :- 2.54 × 2 ×1.2 m.
- Grosslift-off :- 1,471 kg
- Propllent mass :- 845 kg
- Dry mass :- 625 kg
- Power generation capability :- 650 w
- Mission duration <= 14 days (one lunar day).
Finally, chandrayan 2 better than expected apogeas a result of the cryogenic upper stage being burned to depletion, which later eliminated the need for one of the apogee raising burns during the geocentric phase of missions. This also resulted in the saving of around 40 kg fuel on board the space craft.
