Chandrayan 3: Vikram Lander Shares Maiden Moon Images Upon Separation From Spacecraft

Published

on

Today, the Vikram lander unveiled the moon’s initial images following its successful separation from the spacecraft’s propulsion system. The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) released these breathtaking visuals captured by the Lander Imager (LI) Camera-1 on the X platform, formerly known as Twitter.

The compiled set of images showcases various moon craters, notably including the Giordano Bruno crater—a significant feature being one of the moon’s freshest and larger craters.

After its separation from the module, the LI Camera-1 managed to photograph the Harkhebi J crater, measuring about 43 km in diameter.

The lander module, after detaching from the propulsion system, said, “Thanks for the ride, mate.”

The module is poised to transition to a lower orbital level through a successful deboosting operation conducted today. The Lander Module’s (LM) condition remains optimal, and this maneuver has led to a reduction in its orbit to 113 km x 157 km. The next deboosting maneuver is planned for August 20, approximately at 2 am.

The process of deboosting, involving a reduction in speed, will position the Lander Module into an orbit where the closest point to the Moon (Perilune) will be 30 kilometers, and the farthest point from the Moon (Apolune) will be at 100 kilometers.

On August 23, the lander is slated to attempt a “soft landing” within the Moon’s south polar region. Concurrently, the propulsion module will continue its lunar orbit, engaging in the study of Earth’s atmosphere and collecting data from exoplanets that meet habitability criteria.

Following the lander’s touchdown and the subsequent settling of lunar dust, the ‘Pragyaan’ rover will disembark from the Vikram Lander. Subsequently, the lander and the rover will exchange images of each other.

India-Pakistan cricket match: BJP government should clarify its policy: Uddhav Thackeray

Published

on

Mumbai: Mumbai Shiv Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray targeted BJP after the India-Pakistan cricket match and said that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) only pretends to be patriotic and this has now become clear. What would have happened if the cricket match was not played with Pakistan? On one hand, after the terrorist attack in Pahalgam, Pakistan was declared an enemy country and a delegation was sent against it at the international level. Pakistan’s misdeeds were put forward there, but what message will go at the international level if cricket is played with Pakistan. Pakistan carries out terrorist attacks against India and we play matches with it. The stand that the country had made clear against Pakistan after the Pahalgam attack should be maintained, but the BJP wants to sing praises of Amit Shah and Jai Shah. Delegations from across the country say that Pakistan carried out a terrorist attack on India and now a match is being played with it. Is this right? Uddhav Thackeray also raised questions on the foreign policy regarding Pakistan and said that on one hand we call Pakistan a terrorist country and on the other hand we play cricket with it. We narrate the misdeeds of Pakistan during our foreign trips. So what message will go to these countries that on one hand India calls Pakistan a terrorist and on the other hand maintains relations with it. So why would any country support India against Pakistan? Therefore, it is important to decide whether Pakistan is an enemy or a friend. If we end relations with Pakistan, we can convince other countries to do the same. But what message will go when we talk against Pakistan and play cricket with it? That is why I call the Bharatiya Janata Party a fake Janata Party.
