There has been a lot of news lately that ISRO , the Indian Space Research Organization, is planning to launch a mission to the Moon by November 2020. The previous mission, Chandrayaan 2, had faced many communication problems . In addition, the hacking group Lazarus is said to have recently attacked the Research Institute with the malware Dtrack .
The Chandrayaan-2 mission was not completely successful but was considered the best attempt at landing on the Moon.
Chandrayaan 3: ISRO's second attempt to land on the Moon's surface
In the previous mission, the Vikram lander and Pragyan rover were damaged during the hard landing on the lunar. This led to communication problems. However, the researchers obtained an image of a lunar crater.
ISRO itself has confirmed that it is working on the Chandrayaan 3, which will be the second attempt to reach the surface of the moon.
Scientists are trying to find a new design so that they don't face the same problem as the Lander and rover and make a smooth contact with the lunar surface without impact.
The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) briefed the Chandrayaan 3 mission control committees on Tuesday. The committees reviewed various aspectsof Chandrayaan 3's launch configuration, sensors, general engineering, navigation and guidance.
Some reports suggest that the lander and rover will be guided by a detachable module, which will regulate the engine and fuel necessary for the journey. This will be called the “propulsion module.” In addition, the new mission will have fewer orbital movements compared to the previous Chandrayaan 2 mission, which had a total of 6 orbits around the Earth and the Moon.
