Instruments onboard Chandrayaan-3 undergoing tests, readying for launch later this year: Former ISRO chief
On the successful completion of over two years by the Chandrayaan-2 orbiter, the former ISRO chief said that there was enough fuel required to continue operations and that the satellite is functioning well. “The mission is expected to carry on for many more years,” he said.In the future, there will be attempts to reposition the satellite to be able to go to a lower orbit and collect more data post Chandrayaan-3, which will provide a backup relay system for Chandrayaan-2, he informed.
“Based on the learnings from Chandrayaan-2 and suggestions made by the national level experts, the realization of Chandrayaan-3 is in progress,” India’s science and technology minister, Jitendra Singh, said in a Feb. 2 statement. “Many related hardware and their special tests are successfully completed. The launch is scheduled for August 2022.”Chandrayaan-3 is planned for launch from India’s Satish Dhawan Space Center aboard Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle Mark III rocket.
Chandrayaan three is the same this yearDr. S. Unnikrishnan says that the proud launch of Chandrayaan three will take place this year itself. The launch vehicle will be the GSLV Mark III. VSSC is responsible for preparing the rocket. The mission will take place on time. Work in progress.
With a quick formal review of the programme having been completed by Isro chairman S Somanath earlier this month, the project team is burning the midnight oil to make the launch possible this year.“We are trying to launch it this year, but we will take a final call on the launch schedule later. A lot of tests that were pending are now being carried out. One major test would be using a hanging condition. For Chandrayaan-2 we had done this at Mahendragiri, where the landing experiment was simulated. For Chandrayaan-3 we will be doing the same at the Satish Dhawan Space Centre, Sriharikota (SDSC-SHAR),” Somanath told TOI.For this test a unit almost similar to the lander — the propulsion system — will be used to study nominal and other performances. The hardware is already at the spaceport in Sriharikota and Isro is preparing for the test.
