Chandrayan 1 (Mission moon)

 Launch Date: October 22, 2008

Launch Vehicle: PSLV-C11

Mission Objective: To explore the Moon, study its surface, mineral composition, and search for evidence of water molecules.

Payloads: Chandrayaan-1 carried 11 scientific instruments, including spectrometers, cameras, and radar systems.

Major Discoveries:

Confirmed the presence of water molecules on the lunar surface.

Identified key mineral components like magnesium, aluminum, and iron.

Discovered water ice in permanently shadowed regions near the Moon's poles.

Communication: The spacecraft communicated with Earth through the Indian Deep Space Network and NASA's 

DeepMission Duration: Initially planned for two years, but communication was lost in August 2009, ending the mission prematurely.

Impact Probe: A Moon Impact Probe (MIP) was released and impacted the Moon's surface on November 14, 2008, to study the exosphere.

Lunar Orbit: Chandrayaan-1 was initially in a circular orbit, then moved to a higher, elliptical orbit.

Impact: In 2016, NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) discovered the remains of Chandrayaan-1, providing confirmation of its presence.


1 Spectral Studies-In order to better comprehend the Moon's geological past, scientists used Chandrayaan-1's sensors to undertake spectral investigations of the lunar surface to examine the makeup of minerals and metals present.

 2 Moon impact -The mission life of Chandrayaan-1 was two years, but after around 10 months, contact was lost. Despite this, the mission still made important scientific advancements, like as the finding of water molecules and lunar ice

3 M3 instrument -One of the scientific tools on board, the Moon Mineralogy Mapper (M3), was essential in spotting the existence of water molecules on the lunar surface. This discovery was made possible by the high-resolution pictures and spectroscopic data supplied by M3.

 4 confirmation of water ice -The detection of  ice was made possible by Chandrayaan-1's studies of persistently shadowed regions close to the Moon's poles. Future lunar exploration and resource utilisation may be affected by this discovery.



 5 International collaboration -Data and insights from were disseminated to the world's scientists. The accomplishment of the mission fostered cooperation among many space organisations and researchers all around the world.

6 inspiration for future mission -India's subsequent lunar missions, such Chandrayaan-2, which attempted to expand on the knowledge acquired from the first mission, were made possible thanks to Chandrayaan-1's success.

Chandrayaan-1 served as India's entry marker.

7 Legacy -India's debut into lunar exploration with Chandrayaan-1 demonstrated the nation's advancement in space technology. Additionally, it sparked pride in India's space science accomplishments among the general populace.

Follow-up Missions: Chandrayaan-1's success inspired future lunar and planetary missions by ISRO, including Chandrayaan-2 (launched in 2019) and other ambitious projects, contributing to the ongoing exploration of our solar system.

Mission Chandrayan 2

Image
  India's second lunar exploration mission, Chandrayaan-2, was launched by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) on July 22, 2019. The mission's goal was to investigate the south polar region of the moon and advance our knowledge of its surface, geology, and potential presence of water . Chandrayaan-2 was made up primarily of three parts:- Orbiter : - The orbiter stayed in lunar orbit and carried out ongoing research of the lunar surface, its makeup, and the exosphere, a thin layer of gas that surrounds the moon. The Pragyan rover- would be deployed by the Vikram lander after a soft landing on the lunar surface close to the south pole Vikram Lander: The Vikram lander was designed to make a soft landing on the lunar surface near the south pole and deploy the Pragyan rover. The Chandrayaan 2 mission Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) is a space agency. Date of Launch: July 22, 2019 Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle Mark III - Mission 1 (GSLV Mk III-M1) Obje

Why GMT passes through London

 I notice something every time I look at it.that kind of irks me.that something is this ,this zero.this zero which is not just one number,but it's actually a corresponding line that look like this The Earth is divided into lines.sometimes they're curved like they are on my map,and whether or not they're curved or straight .but just know that the earth is divided up into lines, latitude and longitude lines. Ones that go up and down and ones that go from side to side.all of these lines in the grid have a number associated with them.so for the up and down lines, there's zero point .and then anywhere to the right of that or east of that starts to go up from zero to 180 with a little E next to it for east of the zero line,and then everything to the left or west of it has the same thing zero to 180 with a W for westOkay that centre point is the zero point from which all east and west things are measured.the same thing for these side to side lines. If you go up from here, you&
