Chandrayaan-3: India's Chandrayaan-3 is desperate to land on the moon, ISRO has given time for landing on August 23 at 6 pm. Every Indian's eyes are fixed on this mission, but a big accident happened even before India's Chandrayaan-3 stepped on the moon. Russia's mission Luna-25 was also close to Chandrayaan-3 and was about to land on the moon. But just before landing, an accident happened with him, Luna-25 crashed after colliding with the lunar surface. This mission of Russia flying after Chandrayaan-3 was about to land before that, but this mission of Russia remained incomplete. What happened to the last Russian Luna-25, why this mission failed. Understand the claims that have been made about this so far…Russia's dream was broken like this...Russia's Luna-25 was also about to land on the south pole of the moon like ISRO's Chandrayaan-3, this was Russia's first moon mission in the last five decades for which he was very excited. The Russian space agency Roscosmos informed on Sunday that it had lost contact with Luna-25 at 2.57 pm on Saturday, repeated attempts were made to establish contact but the agency could not succeed. Approx 800 kgs. The lander collided with the lunar surface, due to which the lander could not land on the moon.
According to Roscosmos, as soon as Luna-25 reached very close to the moon, it went into a different orbit from its fixed orbit, during this time we lost contact with it and it crashed due to hitting the lunar surface. Now the Russian agency has constituted a commission, which will fully investigate the reasons for the failure of this mission and present its report. In its official statement, the Russian agency told that while the landing operation was taking place, something happened that suddenly spoiled things, due to which the last maneuver could not be completed and the mission went out of hand.When India's mission Chandrayaan-2 was launched in the year 2019, the then ISRO chief K.K. Sivan had said one thing, the meaning of which is still being extracted. He told that the last 15 minutes before landing are like a terror, crossing this is the most difficult moment of the whole mission and sometimes things are not in your hands here. Something similar happened with Russia's Luna-25, where things went out of hand and Russia, which was claiming to land on the moon on August 20-21, could not succeed in its mission.Where is India's mission Chandrayaan-3?Till now Russia and India were running together in the race to reach the moon, now when Luna-25 has failed, Chandrayaan-3 is the only mission left. ISRO has been engaged in handling Vikram Lander of Chandrayaan-3 for the last 3-4 days and it is now being brought into the landing position. ISRO has estimated that Vikram Lander will land on the lunar surface on August 23 at 6.4 pm. If this soft landing is successful, then India will become the fourth country in the world to successfully perform its mission on the surface of the moon, as well as it will become the first country in the world to reach the south pole of the moon.On August 20, ISRO told that Vikram Lander has done its second deboosting, that is, the process of reducing the speed of the lander has been done. Now the lander has been brought closer to the moon, now just before landing Vikram lander module will do its internal check and will come in the landing position till sunrise on the moon. After about four years, India has again stood in that position, where it was at the time of Chandrayaan-2 on 6 September 2019. Even at that time the landing was awaited, but Chandrayaan-2 was missed at the last moment.ISRO will broadcast its mission live, from 5.27 pm on August 23, the whole world will be able to see the moment related to the landing live.
