The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) landed on the Moon on August 23, 2023. This monumental achievement firmly cemented India’s place as one main gamers in the area group. Since then Chandrayaan-3 has discovered sulphur, a temperature distinction of fifty°C between the surface and 10 cm beneath the soil and even landed safely after the Vikram lander ‘hopped’ 30-40 cm away. Here are some video clips that seize the journey of Chandrayaan-3.
August 5 | A view of the moon as Chandrayaan-3 enters lunar orbit
On August 5, Chandrayaan-3 achieved a vital milestone by finishing Lunar Orbit Insertion (LOI). This was the third time that ISRO efficiently inserted a spacecraft into the lunar orbit. The video clip exhibits the lunar surface as the Chandrayaan-3 spacecraft enters the orbit.
August 15 | Lander Position Detection Camera captures pictures of the moon
This video clip exhibits a spread of images of the rugged lunar surface captured by Chandrayaan-3’s Lander Position Detection Camera whereas in the moon’s orbit.
August 17 | The moon as seen by the Lander Imager Camera 1
The video clip exhibits the Chandrayaan-3 gliding over the moon. The pictures in the video was captured by the Lander Imager Camera 1 proper after the Propulsion module separated from the Lander Module on August 17. The video additionally confirmed the craters on the moon’s surface equivalent to the Fabry crater and Giordano Bruno.
August 20 | The moon as seen by Lander Imager Camera 4
The Lander Imager Camera 4 aboard the Chandrayaan-3 spacecraft captures the pockmarked lunar surface because it orbits nearer to the moon. Portions of the spacecraft can be seen in the video.
August 23 | Chandrayaan-3 lands on the Moon
On August 23, Chandrayaan-3 lastly descended on the lunar surface. The video clip exhibits the footage of the Vikram lander on the Moon’s surface adopted by the deployment of the rover named, Pragyan, because it rolled down the lander ramp and executed a activate the lunar surface. The video clip additionally exhibits a simulation of the Chnadrayaan-3 spacecraft delicate touchdown on the moon as a visible depiction.
August 29 | Chandrayaan-3 conducts experiments
On August 29, ISRO launched two extra movies exhibiting the devices onboard the spacecraft conducting experiments. The video clip additionally exhibits the Vikram lander digicam recording Pragyan, as the rover rotates on the lunar surface.
This specific video captured by lander exhibits Pragyan working an Alpha Particle X-ray spectrometer which is used to analyse the chemical composition of a pattern.
