The Chandrayaan-2 orbiter and Chandrayaan-3’s lander module have established two-way contact, according to the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) on Monday.
Welcome, friend! Ch-3 LM was officially welcomed by Ch-2 orbiters. There is established two-way contact between the two. The LM is now accessible via new paths for MOX, according to a post on ‘X’ by the national space agency.
In India’s line of lunar missions, Chandrayaan-2 came before Chandrayaan-3. In 2019, Chandrayaan-2 was launched. In an attempt to achieve a soft landing, the lander with a rover in its belly slammed into the moon’s surface.
According to information from ISRO, the Chandrayaan-2 orbiter, which has been in lunar orbit, has made contact with the Chandrayaan-3 lander module Vikram, which has a rover inside of it. This is crucial since there are now multiple established links between the lander module and the ISRO headquarters.
According to the specifications, the lander of Chandrayaan-3 can communicate with the 26 kg rover as well as the Chandrayaan-2 orbiter via the Indian Deep Space Network (IDSN), a network of large antennas and communication facilities run by ISRO to support the interplanetary spacecraft missions of India. Byalalu is located in the Ramanagara district.
In Bengaluru, India, within the ISRO Telemetry, Tracking, and Command Network (ISTRAC), you can find the MOX (Mission Operations Complex). According to ISRO, the orbiter’s mission life has been extended to seven years as a result of the precise launch and orbital adjustments.
According to ISRO, Chandrayaan-3, India’s third lunar mission, is scheduled to land its lander module on the moon’s surface on August 23 at 6:04 p.m.
