In early August, India broke new ground. It became the first country to land its spacecraft on the south pole of the moon with the Chandrayaan-3 mission. He also shared a breathtaking video of the Moon with the world as he landed. However, India’s joy was cut short. The Chandrayaan-3 mission spacecraft unfortunately neglected an important task it had to do. He threw himself into the arms of sleep. Here are the details…
Chandrayaan-3 mission disappointed India!
India has achieved great success with the Chandrayaan-3 mission. The spacecraft reached its target. Everything was fine. Then, according to the plan, the rover named Pragyan was ready for its mission. After completing their main mission, the lander and the rover began to wait for the lunar night. It went into sleep mode with its fully charged batteries.
So far, everything was under the control of ISRO (Indian Space Research Organization). ISRO was confident that by the end of the night, the Sun would rise once again and wake up both spacecraft. Because both spacecraft had space panels facing the Sun. However, things did not go as the space station hoped. Unfortunately, the Chandrayaan-3 mission missed an important mission. The bad news doesn’t end there. No signal was received from either the spacecraft or the rover.
ISRO is investigating the reason for this mishap, which occurred while everything was going according to plan. There are several possibilities as to why Chandrayaan-3 missed this important mission. The batteries of the Vikram lander and the Pragyan rover may have run out. Even though the batteries are fully charged, extreme cold may have triggered this situation. If it is recharged through the solar panels installed on them, it can continue its duty. Another possibility is that the lander and the rover could not withstand the harsh and harsh conditions of the Moon.
ISRO continues to work to communicate. Unfortunately, it’s too early to tell exactly what the problem is. The spacecraft and rover may not have been able to survive lunar conditions. Similar incidents have occurred before. For example, China’s Mars rover failed to wake up again after the harsh Martian winter.
