And now it has landed softly on the moon's surface in the South Pole region, where none of the countries has landed its rocket. But there are some questions rising in my mind: Why isn't any country focused on the South Pole of the Moon? What are the difficulties in conducting research in this region? Why did Russia's Luna 25 landing fail? and much more! In the article, we'll explore the hardest regions of the moon and find the real mission of Chandrayaan 3!

History of India's Chandrayaan!

The journey of India's Space Mission begins with the first rocket launch by India on November 21, 1963. In October 2008, the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) launched its first Chandrayaan and operated this mission for around one year. Chandrayaan 1 shocked the world by discovering water inside the Moon surface, which was not discovered by any country that had done this mission before. On July 22, 2019, ISRO launched its second Chandrayaan CH2 to conduct research on the abundance of lunar water inside the moon's surface. It consists of a lunar orbiter, a Vikram lander, and a rover named Pragyan; all the parts were made in India! But during the landing time, when all the world was looking at India's Second Chandrayaan, ISRO reported that they had lost communication with the orbiter. This news made the whole of India upset. But after the work of 4 years, ISRO launched its Third Chandrayaan (CH3) on July 14, 2023, in the South Pole Region of the Moon!

South Pole of the Moon!

The South Pole of the Earth and the South Pole of the Moon are also mysterious places for scientists. The extreme environmental conditions make this place a challenge for research. The temperature of the South Pole can decrease by up to -150 to -200 degrees Celsius, and the centre of the South Pole is covered in darkness because sun rays never come to this region. That's why the Rover of the Chandrayaan wouldn't be able to go in the central part, but it would move around its region. ISRO chose this place for the research because it is possible that this area has an abundance of lunar water, helium-3 gas, and elements like sandium and yttrium.

The life of the Chandrayaan 3 Mission is only 14 days! Because on the moon, there are 14 days of light and 14 days of darkness on the maximum part of the moon. That's why ISRO chose August 23, 2023, as the landing date because, from the next day on, there will be sun for 14 days. The Rover of the Chandrayaan needs sun light to work properly. Russia's Luna 25, who crashed during landing on the surface of the moon, was able to work for 1 year properly because it has the power source Protium! ISRO is also studying this element to conduct research over a longer period of time. It is possible that the upcoming space missions of India's ISRO will have a longer life than expected.

Before the landing, ISRO informed us that the orbiter of Chandrayaan 2 had communicated with Chandrayaan 3. This made this mission easier and faster, as by connecting all these parts, ISRO can collect and send information to the Chandrayaan more easily! The failure of Chandrayaan 2 has taught a lot to scientists. They made a huge study on this failure, improved their mistakes, and made Chandrayaan 3 a successful mission!

Most Amazing Things of Chandrayaan 3!

1. A Rover named Pragyan of Chandrayaan 3 has the Indian Flag and ISRO logo imprinted on its tyres; thus, when it moves on the surface of the moon, it will leave an impression of the Indian Flag and ISRO's logo for decades as the moon has no air, so these impressions will be as they are on the lunar soil.

2. The entire Chandrayaan 3 mission cost is less than the production cost of many films, which is $75 million, or around 650 crore rupees.

3. With this mission, India became the fourth country to make a successful landing on the moon and the first country to reach the South Pole region!

4. The main mission of the Rover was to identify the lunar water and elements like Scandium and yttrium.

5. This mission can give us much knowledge about the moon's surface that can change our perspective on our moon!

6. The Chandrayaan craft's total weight is around 3,900 kilograms.

7. According to the latest reports, Sulphur has been confirmed under the moon's surface.

8. It had also found chromium, titanium, manganese, and oxygen molecules on the moon.

9. ISRO and other space agencies collected vital information about the Moon and the South Pole region for future moon missions.

10. This successful mission gave humans a lot of new information about our moon.

Summary and FAQ

This successful mission of Chandrayaan 3 made India confident enough to achieve much more outside our world. The upcoming missions of India's ISRO Gaganyaan and Aditya L1 Mission will increase the value of India in the science and technology fields all around the world!
