Chandrayaan-3: Vikram Lander Successfully Separated From Mothership

Published

on

The Chandrayaan-3 lander module Vikram has successfully separated from the propulsion module on August 17. With this, the final phase of moon approach has begun. The soft landing has been scheduled for August 23 at 5.45 pm. 

The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) is working towards achieving a successful soft landing on the Moon’s south pole through its Chandrayaan-3 mission. The spacecraft is now set for its planned moon landing on August 23. This effort positions India on a trajectory to become the fourth country globally to accomplish this notable feat, joining the ranks of the United States, Russia, and China.

Following a prosperous manoeuvre on Wednesday, August 16, ISRO effectively guided the spacecraft into an almost circular orbit, placing it at a lunar orbit size of 153×163 kilometres. Subsequently, the Vikram lander is slated to embark on its independent journey away from the propulsion module.

ISRO tweeted the picture of the same on August 16, with the caption, “Chandrayaan-3 Mission: Today’s successful firing, needed for a short duration, has put Chandrayaan-3 into an orbit of 153 km x 163 km, as intended. With this, the lunar bound maneuvres are completed. It’s time for preparations as the Propulsion Module and the Lander Module gear up for their separate journeys. Separation of the Lander Module from the Propulsion Module is planned for August 17, 2023.”

Chandrayaan-3, the lunar exploration mission directed by ISRO, has effectively established an orbit with a near-circular trajectory around the Moon. The scheduled separation of the Vikram lander from the propulsion module is set to take place today, August 17. Once this separation is successfully executed, the mission will enter its ultimate and pivotal stage- the landing on the moon.

Chandrayaan-3, the third instalment in India’s series of lunar missions, commenced its mission on July 14 this year through the GSLV Mark 3 (LVM 3) heavy-lift launch vehicle from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre located in Sriharikota, Andhra Pradesh. It effectively entered the lunar orbit on August 5. The spacecraft is diligently adjusting its orbital path in readiness for an attempted soft landing within 40 days from the date of launch.

The main objectives of Chandrayaan-3 are: achieving a safe and soft lunar landing, facilitating the rover’s exploration of the moon’s surface, and conducting scientific investigations on the lunar surface.

Mumbai: The Batti Gul protest demonstration in Mumbai against the Waqf Act was very successful. National organizations and Muslims united and kept their lights off for 9:15 pm as a protest against the proposed Waqf Act. In the Batti Gul protest, the lights of Muslim neighborhoods, areas and streets were turned off. This protest was successful. All India Muslim Personal Law Board Coordinator Mahmood Daryabadi also declared the protest successful and said that the movement will continue until the Waqf Act is withdrawn.

In Mumbai’s Colaba area, MLA Abu Asim Azmi participated in a protest demonstration and Batti Gul against the Waqf Act, calling it anti-Muslim and demanding its withdrawal. He said that Muslims have protested Batti Gul on the appeal of the All India Muslim Personal Law Board, which was successful. He said that the protest will continue until the act is withdrawn. Abu Asim Azmi said that this act has been brought to grab the properties of the Waqf, which is unacceptable.

In the Muslim-majority areas of Mumbai, the lights went out as soon as 9 o’clock and the normal system came to a standstill for 15 minutes, which also affected the power supply because a sudden power outage for 15 minutes also affects the power supply. In Mumbai, Muslim-majority areas including Kurla, Andheri, Nagpara, Dongri, Paidhoni, darkness fell at 9 o’clock when the lights were switched off and the darkness became so much that the darkness of the night became even darker.

After the Batti Gul in Mumbai, darkness settled in the city.

Members of the Muslim Personal Law Board and national organizations in Mumbai have declared the Batti Gul protest a success.
