Luna-25's engine failed to turn off during de-orbit burn that led the mission to crash on the surface of the moon. Instead of planned 84 seconds, it worked for 127 seconds says Roscosmos.

The NASA-ISRO Synthetic Aperture Radar mission is a joint project between #NASA and #ISRO to co-develop and launch a dual-frequency synthetic aperture radar on an Earth observation satellite.

The satellite will be the first radar imaging satellite to use dual frequencies.

It will be launched by GSLV MK2 rocket, and sent into low Earth orbit.

Chandrayaan 3's INSANE Camera System

explained by Youtuber Gareeb Scientist

Nilesh M Desai, Director, Space Applications Centre-ISRO, Ahmedabad on Chandrayaan-3 landing on the Moon

"On August 23, two hours before Chandrayaan-3 lands on the Moon, we will take a decision on whether or not it will be appropriate to land it at that time based on the health of the lander module and the conditions on the Moon. In case, if any factor appears to be not favourable, then we will land the module on the Moon on August 27. No problem should occur and we will be able to land the module on August 23"

Mr. Somanath said that if the landing does not take place as planned on August 23, then ISRO will wait for another month to make a landing attempt in September.

he added

“The Lander and the Rover will stay on the Moon for 14 days until sunlight is there. When there is no sunlight, a small solar panel which is on the Rover will generate power to charge the battery for the next 14 days until light comes. The temperature there goes down to minus 40 degrees and in such an environment there is no guarantee that the battery, electronics will survive but we did some tests and we get the feeling that it will survive even in such harsh conditions.”

ISRO has reported everything about the Chandrayaan3 mission is proceeding precisely as planned! 🎯

PM Narendra Modi will join team ISRO via video conferencing post landing- Reports CNN News 18.

Chandrayaan-3's Communication Network 🛰📡

🌐 5 Deep space 📡s from 3 space agencies have their eyes on Ch-3, tracking it via dual communication channels—directly and through Ch-2 orbiter.

📡 ISRO: IDSN-32 🇮🇳
📡 NASA: DSS36 & DSS34 🇦🇺
📡 Madrid_DSN: DSS65 🇪🇸
📡 ESA: New Norcia, WA 🇦🇺


#DSS36, the prime antenna, tracks every move. 📶 If needed, #DSS34 stands ready as backup.

Meanwhile, IDSN-32 in Bengaluru and ESA's New Norcia station in Western Australia join the communication chorus during this critical phase.

Stay tuned for mission updates! 🚀🌌 #Chandrayaan3 #SpaceCommunication
