During the orbit-raising manoeuvre on Wednesday, the spacecraft's liquid engine was fired for about 1,203 seconds
Hours after touchdown, rover Pragyaan will roll out from inside the lander to carry out intense probe of the moon soil with its two payloads
Chandrayaan-2 will land on the Lunar south pole on Saturday at 1:30 am-2:30 am. Find details of Chandrayaan 2 landing time, date and where to watch
It's time ISRO was given more resources
It may take several months for India to be able to attempt a launch again, said Susmita Mohanty, co-founder and chief executive officer of Earth2Orbit
The Rs 978 crore mission was called off on July 15 barely an hour before the lift-off after the scientists noticed a glitch in the three-stage rocket during the propellant filling phase
The mission, named Aditya- L1, will be launched in the first half of 2020
Municipal water and waste recycling systems are based on space designs and so is our understanding of climate change. ISRO's missions will help India gain capabilities in these respects
The next very important and crucial maneuver will happen on Wednesday morning
The Chandrayaan-2 spacecraft is expected to reach the moon's orbit on August 20 and land on the lunar surface on September 7, according to the ISRO
Chandrayaan-2 will approach Moon on August 20, 2019 and the spacecraft's liquid engine will be fired again to insert the spacecraft into a lunar orbit
According to Isro, Chandrayaan 2 India's second lunar expedition will shed light on a completely unexplored region of the Moon, its South Pole
The development is a significant milestone that brings India closer to joining a select group of nations that have explored the moon
ISRO on Wednesday said it has performed the second lunarbound orbit maneuver for Chandrayaan-2 spacecraft thatis currently in the lunar orbit for its rendezvous with the Moon. All spacecraft parameters are normal, the Bengaluru headquartered space agency said after the maneuver. "Second Lunar bound orbit maneuver for Chandrayaan-2 spacecraft was performed successfully today (August 21, 2019) beginning at 1250 hrs IST as planned, using the onboard propulsion system. The duration of the maneuver was 1228seconds. The orbit achieved is 118 km x 4412 km," ISRO said. The next Lunar bound orbit maneuver is scheduled on August 28, 2019 between 0530 - 0630 hrs IST.
Chandrayaan-2 will be ISRO's first inter-planetary mission to land a rover on any celestial body
Despite the odd time, hordes of enthusiasts had reached the island, some of them travelling long distances on two-wheelers, to witness the historic moment
Rocket lifted off at 2:43 p.m. IST on Monday, July 22, from Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota, a week after earlier attempt on July 15 was aborted
Isro Chairman K Sivan recently said the space agency 'had done everything humanly possible' for the mission's success
