New delhi date. 21 August 2020, Friday

Chandrayaan-2 has completed one year of orbiting the moon. India launched Chandrayaan-2 on July 22, 2019 as part of its second lunar mission. One year before today, i.e. on August 20, 2019, it entered the lunar orbit. On this occasion, NASA has provided information related to the mission. ISRO said that although the Vikram Lander failed to land on the lunar surface, the Chandrayaan's orbiter was working properly.

Within this one year the orbiter has completed 4400 orbits of the moon. Apart from this, ISRO scientists hope that the orbiter has enough fuel left to operate for the next seven years. At the same time it will keep giving us new information about the moon. According to ISRO, all the devices of this orbiter of Chandrayaan are working properly at present. ISRO said the remaining two parts of Chandrayaan-2, Vikram Lander and Pragyan Rover, have not been successful, but the orbiter will still work for years.

Eight state-of-the-art devices inside the orbiter will continue to send lunar information. The orbiter is currently orbiting at an altitude of 100 km above the lunar surface. Scientists increase or decrease its height by 25 km as required. So that it does not collide with any satellite or other object. Many adults deviate from their orbit for a variety of reasons. The orbiter has been re-established in its orbit 17 times since September 24.
