Chandrayaan 2 Orbiters Mission and Design
Advancement in the field of Science and Technology India aims to be the fourth country to land on the lunar surface among the USA, Russia, and China. This mission is known as Chandrayaan 2. It has three important components including the Orbiter, the Lander Vikram and Rover Pragyan. Both the Lander and the Orbiter will be tucked into the GSLV Mk-III rocket. In other words, it will necessarily launch them at the moon precisely and scientifically. The functions After the rocket reaches space, the uppermost portion of the rocket separates and releases its payload immediately. In other words, the orbiter-lander module will conduct a series of five complex maneuvers around the Earth. It helps in building up momentum and slingshot closer to the moon. However, the capturing of the duo by the moon’s orbit allows the lander to detach itself from the orbiter. It further makes a soft landing on the moon and will then release the rover onto the lunar surface. While scanning and mapping t...
