Chandrayaan 2 : Nearest to moon
The journey of this space shuttle has been very exciting before the Chandrayaan 2 lander lost contact with ISRO headquarters. Chandrayaan 2 has crossed three steps in these 47 days .....
The Vikram Lander of Chandrayaan 2 went missing about 2.1 km from the lunar surface at around 1.45 pm. ISRO lost connection with Vikram Lander and Pragyan Rover. Earlier, Chandrayaan 2 was about to land on the lunar surface. At the end of the long journey of about 47 days, the contact of the Vikram Lander broke a few minutes before reached the moon surface. After which desperation could be seen on the faces of ISRO scientists. However, the journey of Chandrayaan 2 has been a thrill so far.
Chandrayaan 2 was launched on July 22 from the Satish Dhawan Space Research Center in Sriharikota, Andhra Pradesh. In these 47 days so far, the space shuttle has traveled from the Earth's orbit to the last orbit of the moon. Chandrayaan 2 first entered Earth's outer orbit from the Earth's parking orbit (this is a short-lived orbit designed to launch the space shuttle). Chandrayaan 2 left the last orbit of the earth on 14 August and made a move towards the moon's orbit. Come, know about this exciting journey of Chandrayaan 2.
Chandrayaan 2 : First Step
Talking about the first stop of Chandrayaan 2, the space shuttle's time spent in Earth orbit can be called the first stop of this ambitious moon mission of India. Between July 22 to August 13, Chandrayaan 2 orbited the earth. Chandrayaan 2 took about 25 days to cross the five Earth's orbit. On 24 July Chandrayaan 2 entered the first orbit of the Earth, while on 6 August Chandrayaan 2 entered the last orbit of the Earth. This journey of Chandrayaan 2 has been 1,43,585 kilometers.
On July 24, at 3:30 in the evening, the space shuttle entered Earth's first orbit. Chandrayaan 2 traveled 230 x 45,162 km in this first orbit.
After being in the first orbit of the earth for two days, Chandrayaan 2 entered the second orbit of the earth between 1 and 2 am in the early hours of 26 July. During this time Chandrayaan 2 covered a distance of 250 x 54,689 km. Chandrayaan 2 stayed for about 3 days in the second orbit of the earth.
On July 29, around 2:30 pm, this space shuttle entered Earth's third orbit. Chandrayaan 2 covered a distance of 268 x 71,558 km in this orbit.
After remaining in the third orbit for about 3 days, Chandrayaan 2 entered the fourth orbit of the earth between 2 pm and 3 pm on August 2. In this class Chandrayaan 2 traveled approximately 248 x 90,229 km.
In the fourth grade, Chandrayaan 2 spent about 4 days, after which at 6:30 pm on August 6, Chandrayaan 2 entered the fifth and last orbit of the earth. In this orbit Chandrayaan 2 covered a distance of about 221 x 1,43,585 km. On August 14, between 3 and 4 pm, Chandrayaan 2 left the Earth's orbit.
Chandrayaan 2 : Second Step
On 14 August last month, Chandrayaan 2 left the Earth's orbit. Even after a week delay in Chandrayaan 2's already scheduled launch, Chandrayaan 2 entered Moon's orbit within the stipulated time limit. Before the moon's orbit Chandrayaan 2 covered a distance of about 266 x 4,13,623 km in the earth's orbit.
Between 14 August and 20 August, Chandrayaan 2 was in the middle of the Earth and the Moon's orbit. On 20 August, Chandrayaan 2 entered the Moon's orbit.
The space shuttle traveled 28 days before reaching the Moon's orbit on 20 August. Chandrayaan 2 entered the lunar orbit just 28 days after its launch.
On 21 August, at 12:30 pm, Chandrayaan 2 entered the first orbit of the Moon. Chandrayaan 2 traveled about 118 x 4,412 kilometers in this first orbit of the moon.
After entering the first orbit of the moon for 7 days, Chandrayaan 2 entered the second orbit of the moon on August 28 at 5.30 am. During this time Chandrayaan 2 traveled about 179 x 1,412 km.
After being in this class for 2 days, Chandrayaan 2 entered Chand's third grade around 6 pm on 30 August. During this time Chandrayaan 2 covered a distance of about 124 x 164 km.
Between 1:30 pm and 1:30 pm on September 1, Chandrayaan 2 entered the last moon orbit. During this time Chandrayaan 2 covered a distance of 119 x 127 km.
Chandrayaan 2 : Third Step
The third phase of Chandrayaan 2 from September 2 to September 6 has been quite exciting. Chandrayaan 2 spent about 1 day in the last orbit of the moon, after which Chandrayaan 2 separated Vikram Lander from him at 1:15 pm on 2 September. Vikram Lander lost contact with the headquarters of ISRO at around 1: 52 minutes. Scientists are now trying to find the location of Vikram Lander and Pragyan Rover based on the information received from the orbiter.
