LET'S GO BEYOND THE MOON (CHANDRAYAAN-3)

Chandrayaan-3 has crossed another important milestone. The lander separated from the peristalsis at 1:15 p.m. Thursday. Now the lander has set out alone to land on the moon. According to ISRO, the lander is orbiting the moon in an orbit of 163 km by 153 km. It is now night on the moon, which will last till 22 August. It is equal to 14 days of the earth.
           The lander's orbit will be reduced as part of the de-boosting process on Friday at 4:00 p.m. ET. After this it will move closer to the lunar surface i.e. 100*100 km and then move towards 100*30 km orbit.
            This will be possible thanks to 1-1 thrusters of 800 Newton power attached near the four legs of the lander. 2-2 thrusters will work in two phases.
           After the process of orbit change, the lander will remain in this orbit for the next 5 days. According to the latest ISRO calculations, the lander may touch the lunar surface at 5:47 pm on August 23 from an altitude of 30 km.
             According to M Annadurai, who was the project director of Chandrayaan-1, the real match has now started. This is the last over. If we play this over with caution, then we will also be able to move forward in the process of exploration on the moon at par with developed countries and at a lower cost, which will help us a lot in the future.
            Both the lenders have parted ways. The propulsion module will continue its journey and orbit the Moon for several months.
             It also has a payload called SHAPE. Will identify signs of life on Earth from the Moon's orbit.
            It will conduct spectroscopic investigation of the Earth's atmosphere. Will explore the possibility of living on other planets.
