Darkness will be the enemy of Chandrayaan! How the lander and rover on the moon will work at night, this time is the most challenging


One day on the Moon is equal to 14 days on Earth. In this regard, rover Pragyan and lander Vikram, which reached the lunar surface by Chandrayaan 3 on August 23, have only a few days left. Although ISRO scientists have not ruled out the possibility of Pragyan and Vikram resuming operations, it has become important for the rover to acquire data quickly.

Isro's important phase begins on the moon

ISRO has said that Chandrayaan 3 is going to do three major tasks on the moon. It includes soft landing on the lunar surface, exploration of the lunar surface and some experiments on the surface. So far ISRO has been successful in the first two, but the experimental phase is still ongoing. Vikram and Pragyan carry the payload through which the data is being collected.

An attempt to cover a distance of 300 to 400 meters on the moon

SAC director Nilesh M Desai says that scientists are trying to cover the maximum distance to the South Pole. He said that in the remaining days, scientists are trying to cover a distance of 300 to 400 meters, so that maximum experiments can be done during this time.

The rover failed to achieve this goal

Experts are saying that there are problems with the rover's movements as some services are not available on Earth. The rover has to cover a distance of 30 meters per day, but so far it has failed to achieve the target, he said. Desai said, 'We have only 14 days left for this mission, which is equal to one day on the moon. In the rest of the days we need to be able to do more experiments and research. We are in a race against time. We have more work to do and all ISRO scientists are engaged in this work.

Darkness will be a problem for Chandrayaan

After 14 days, the moon will fall into night and Vikram and Pragyan, powered by solar energy, may stop. Apart from this, another challenge is that the temperature on the moon goes down to -133 degrees Celsius at night. It is being said that due to cold, the work of Vikram and Pragyan instruments can also be hampered. However, Isro scientists are hopeful that Vikram and Pragyan can regain speed after the arrival of the Sun. The rover will remain in contact with the lander during this long lunar night. This is how ISRO will get data on Earth. Direct contact with the rover will not be possible at night.

Moon Mission: Where on the Moon - Where will water be found? Map prepared by NASA

Image
New delhi date. 22 March 2023, Wednesday For the first time, scientists have created a map of water on the moon. In which the possibility of having water on the moon has increased. According to the information, scientists have prepared a map of the presence of water in the moon through NASA's Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy. With the help of this map, we have tried to show how the movement of water takes place in the moon. The map of water in the moon that scientists have prepared has focused on the south pole of the moon, i.e. the South Pole. Scientists believe that the creation of this map is a big step in the search for water on the moon. This map is made of the Earth side of the Moon. Experts say that this map is going to be very useful. Scientists presented the map at the 2023 Lunar and Planetary Science Conference.

The facility of posting in threads is coming from Facebook

Image
Taking advantage of Twitter company's name change and other major upheavals last year, Meta Company launched a new social platform ' Threads ' almost like Twitter. When the Threads service launched in July 2023, it was launched along the lines of the already hugely popular Instagram to give it a large user base from the start. Hence, if we have an Instagram account, we can sign-up in the threads from it and the Instagram username and followers are also added to the threads. Due to this the threads got a very fast growth initially. In the first month itself , in fact in the first five days, the number of its users reached the mark of 10 crores. However, then the enthusiasm of the users began to wane. Since Instagram and Threads are connected to each other, users in Threads remained but their actual activity started to decrease.

One year into the ONDC system: How far has the e-Cormus initiative come?

Image
The Open Network Core Digital Commerce (ONDC) project was launched in India in April last year. Amazon and Flipkart currently have a duopoly in the e-commerce sector in India and both of these companies are foreign-owned. The ONDC project has been implemented by the Government of India so that various companies and small and large businesses in India can take full advantage of e-commerce and instead of the entire system being in the hands of just one or two companies, it also gets democracy. The way Unified Payment Interface (UPI) has revolutionized online transactions in India. Something similar is likely to happen in the e-commerce sector due to ONDC. After its launch in April last year, the network was seeing 30-40 transactions per day in the month of September , which has now reached 600 transactions per day. Given the prevalence of online commerce in India, this number is still very low. However, the number of merchants connected to the network has increased significantly. Af...
