Chandrayaan-2 captures image of crater on moon in camera, ISRO names Vikram Sarabhai

New delhi date. 16 August 2020, Sunday

Chandrayaan-2 with some pictures of the moon which also captured one of its craters in the camera. The crater is named after Vikram Sarabhai, the father of the Indian space program. Informing about this in the Prime Minister's Office on Friday, Minister of State Jitendra Singh said that Sarabhai's birth centenary was completed on August 12 and this is a tribute to him.

Jitendra Singh said that these achievements of ISRO embody Sarabhai's vision. ISRO has made India one of the leading countries in the world. It is worth mentioning that the Department of Space comes under the Prime Minister's Office. The Minister of State, while informing the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO), said that the Chandrayaan-2 orbiter has captured a picture of Sarabhai Crater, in a way a special tribute to Vikram Sarabhai. The Sarabhai crater is about 250 to 300 kilometers east of the crater that landed on the Apollo 17 and Luna 21 missions.

A statement released by ISRO said 3D images of the Sarabhai crater showed that the crater was about 1.7 km deep from the raised shore and that its wall slope was 25 to 35 degrees. This discovery will allow astronomers to gain more information about lava and the moon. The statement said that Chandrayaan-2 is working in line with the design and the scientist is receiving important data from it. Chandrayaan-2 will start publishing scientific statistics for global use from October this year.

Chandrayaan-2 was launched on July 22, 2019 with the intention of going to the moon's south pole. However, its lander record had a hard landing on the lunar surface on September seven. Due to which, India's dream of becoming the first country to make a soft landing on the first attempt was shattered.

Image Envato Dt. 5 April 2023, Wednesday The James Webb Space Telescope has discovered the four most distant galaxies ever discovered. New research suggests that this galaxy formed 320 million years after the Big Bang, when the universe was in its infancy. Since the Webb Telescope began operating last year, it has opened new doors of discovery for scientists. With the help of this telescope, scientists are searching for new galaxies in the universe. The longest distance at which the universe has been observed by astronomers Astronomers said they have discovered the four most distant galaxies ever. These galaxies formed 300 to 500 million years ago after the Big Bang, 13 billion years ago. The most distant galaxy is called JDES-GS-J 13-0, and is the farthest distance observed by astronomers, said researcher Stéphane Charlot of the Astrophysics Institute in Paris.

NASA's Artemis-1 launch in trouble again, mission hit after fuel leakage

Image
Washington, September 3, 2022, Saturday As part of America's plan to go to the moon, the Artemis-1 mission is back in the spotlight. NASA scientists discovered fuel leakage and engine failure in the rocket just hours before launch. This is the second time a mission has had to be postponed in a single week. Ortemis-1 mission was to be launched from Kennedy Space Center in Florida. Hence, a new schedule will be arranged for the third time in the near future. However, the date and time of the third attempt has not been fixed. NASA's Artemis mission aims to send a man to the moon by 2025. Currently, a capsule named Orion has been prepared. The capsule is to orbit the moon for 42 days to collect data. Based on data and information from Orion, the spacecraft is to go to the moon. So the Artemis-1 mission is very important but the program of the mission has been hit by a technical fault again in the rocket carrying Orion into space.
