    Chandrayaan 2: India has chosen the most difficult mission,       the world has lost its way

Chandrayaan 2

Even though it has been 50 years since humans reached the moon, it has not been easy for all developed countries to touch the moon. Russia sent about 33 missions towards the moon between 1958 and 1976, 26 of which could not reach their destination.

ISRO's contact with Lander Vikram was not easy to touch the despair of Tuticorin's control room

India's lunar mission suffered a setback when ISRO lost contact with the lander Vikram just two kilometers before the lunar surface. ISRO's mission Chandrayaan-2 could not make history, but the country is saluting the spirit of scientists. The country was waiting impatiently at night to complete the mission and create history for the country, but in a few moments there was disappointment.

In fact, just before reaching the destination of the 48-day ambitious journey, suddenly there was a strange silence in the control room of ISRO. The eyes which were watching every step of the mission Chandrayaan-2 on the screen with great curiosity a while ago, she was stunned. The journey of Chandrayaan-2 had reached the last and very challenging part, but the wait was prolonged and a formal announcement was made by ISRO that the center's contact with Lander Vikram had been lost.

These challenges were in front of scientists

- No country in the world has been able to reach this part of the moon yet, so scientists did not know about the surface here.

In most missions, including the Apollo missions of the Americas, the landing was made in the middle of the moon and the Chinese mission was towards the north pole of the moon.

Chand's rocky ground was also a big challenge for soft landing, the lander Vikram had to find a place of soft landing between two craters.

Developed countries barely succeed

Even though it has been 50 years since humans reached the moon, it has not been easy for all developed countries to touch the moon. Russia sent about 33 missions towards the moon between 1958 and 1976, 26 of which could not reach their destination. At the same time, America was not far behind in this competition. From 1958 to 1972, 17 of the 31 US missions failed.

Not only this, America also sent 6 manned missions between 1969 and 1972. In these missions, 24 astronauts reached close to the moon but only 12 were able to land on the moon. Apart from this, in April this year, the mission moon of Israel also remained incomplete. This mission of a private Israeli company came into the lunar orbit on April 4, but it lost contact with the Earth after being 10 kilometers away.

Orbiter became a silver lining

Of course, the scientists of India had made their move towards the big challenge of reaching the unknown part of the moon, gathering many important information. The orbiter that carried Chandrayaan-2 closer to the floor is still orbiting the moon. Now scientists are waiting for the results coming from the data and the pictures from the orbiter. So that the last 15 minutes of scientific analysis is possible.

A study analysis of the reasons for the breakdown of contact with the lander Vikram will be done. The challenges that led to this mission being considered the most difficult mission ever. New ways of dealing with it will also be found. In this sense, the mission of Chandrayaan-2 will prove to enrich the experience of scientists to move towards this very difficult goal.

The contact of Chandrayaan-2's Vikram Lander has been broken shortly before landing on the lunar surface.

Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) President K Sivan said after the mission, "Vikram was landing as per the lander plan and everything was normal up to 2.1 km away from the surface. But after that he lost contact. Review the data Has been. "

Vikram was to land on the lunar surface between 1:30 pm and 2:30 pm.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi also reached the headquarters of ISRO in Bengaluru to see and encourage the achievement of Indian space scientists.

Everything was going smoothly and scientists were keeping an eye on every step of approaching Vikram's surface.

But in the last moments, a tense situation was created in the ISRO center and lines of concern started appearing on the faces of the scientists.

After some time ISRO chairman went to Prime Minister Modi and informed him. After this, when he started returning, former ISRO chairman K Kasturirangan and K Radhakrishnan comforted him by placing a hand on his shoulder.

Shortly after this, the ISRO chairman said in a statement that Vikram has lost contact with the ISRO center.

After this, Prime Minister Modi went among the scientists and encouraged them, "Life keeps fluctuating. I was watching when the communication was off. But this is not a small achievement. The country is proud of you And your hard work has also taught a lot .... I wish you all the very best, you have done a great service to the country, you have done a great service to science, you have done a great service to mankind. Stop than we are learning a lot, would continue to continue our journey, and I'm totally with you. "

Friday night was considered a major milestone for Indian space scientists.

Scientists of the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) at night and half started slowly taking off the Vikram Lander of Chandrayaan 2 on the lunar surface.

The Vikram lander was first to be separated from the orbiter in the lunar orbit and then to be taken towards the lunar surface.
