Chandrayaan-1 reached the third orbit with an apogee of 1,65,000 km. But the orginal plan was to reach an apogee of nearly 2,00,000 km. It is thus about 35,000 km off the mark in its third orbit.
The fourth orbit should have an apogee of nearly 2,70,000 km. And that means Chandrayaan-1 has to be fired an extra 35,000 km tomorrow.
This is not an alarm situation, though. ISRO can correct it without much of a problem.
Chandrayaan-1’s flawless launch has boosted India’s image in the world. There is no doubt about it.
Besides the feat also shows that India is fast catching up with China that began its ambitious space programmes long before India thought to begin one.
Everyone is all praise for the feat that India has achieved within a short time and with minimal resources. From Barack Obama to Ban Ki Moon everyone has realized that India has finally arrived.
It is a big achievement for a country that just over a decade ago was known more for snake charmers, abject poverty, backwardness and corruption.
But things have changed and certainly for better when it comes to economic prosperity and scientific advancements.
Now consistent impressive performance in the economic filed in the last decade has seen India’s graph going up in the international arena.
India is taken as an important member of the world fraternity and an economic powerhouse of the world that has potential to become a superpower.
Though India’s human rights performance has been dismal in the last decade with right wing Hindu chauvinists targeting two large minorities of the country, Christians and Muslims but it has not hindered India’s ascendance to the big league in the space.
For India, which began its space journey in a modest way in 1963 with the launch of a 9-kilo rocket from a research facility at the fishing hamlet of Thumba in Kerala, the Chandrayaan-1 marks a quantum leap. Indeed, India’s unmanned scientific mission to moon, which was approved almost four years ago, has moved further up India’s priority list in the wake of China’s successful manned mission of October 2003.
India’s Chandrayaan-1 mission is aimed at high-resolution remote sensing of the moon in visible, near infrared(NIR), low energy X-rays and high-energy X-ray regions. Specifically the objectives is to prepare a three-dimensional atlas (with a high spatial and altitude resolution of 5-10m) of both near and far side of the moon.
Its objective is also to conduct chemical and mineralogical mapping of the entire lunar surface for distribution of elements such as Magnesium, Aluminum, Silicon, Calcium, Iron and Titanium with a spatial resolution of about 25 km and high atomic number elements such as Radon, Uranium & Thorium with a spatial resolution of about 20 km.
Chandrayaan carried as many as 11 payloads — five from India, three from the European Space Agency (ESA), one from the Bulgarian Space Agency (BSA) and two from NASA, making it a truly global initiative. The two-year mission will be invaluable as the Chandrayaan is programmed to orbit the Lunar surface and digitally map it. It will also send information on the traces of the composition of the lunar surface apart from looking for atomic minerals such as thorium and uranium. The probe is also equipped with high-resolution cameras
