NASA Collaborates with India to Train Astronauts for 2024 ISS Mission

NASA will assist in training two Indian astronauts, with one of them scheduled to fly to the International Space Station (ISS) in late 2024. The collaboration between NASA and the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) aims to strengthen their partnership in various space projects, including planetary defense and joint efforts concerning the ISS. The Indian astronaut's trip to the ISS is expected to last two weeks, during which they will conduct scientific experiments of importance to India. The training of the astronauts will involve overseas training, with two shortlisted candidates receiving training at NASA. The collaboration also includes the joint launch of the NISAR Earth observation satellite in early 2022.

India and US Collaborate to Send Indian Astronaut to International Space Station in 2024

India and the US will collaborate to send an Indian astronaut to the International Space Station (ISS) by the end of 2024, marking a significant milestone in India's space ambitions. The collaboration between NASA and ISRO was announced by US senator Bill Nelson, who stated that the two space agencies have formed a joint working group on human spaceflight collaboration. They will also work together on the Nasa-Isro Synthetic Aperture Radar (Nisar) satellite, which will help analyze terrestrial, atmospheric, and weather anomalies. This collaboration is part of the expanding cooperation between India and the US in the field of space technology.

India's Aditya L1 Mission Reaches Solar System's Center

India's Aditya-L1 mission, aimed at observing the Sun's outermost layers, has crossed a significant milestone in its journey towards the center of the solar system, escaping the sphere of Earth's influence. The spacecraft, named after the Hindu Sun deity, has traveled over half of its total distance and will now enter a stable halo orbit around the Sun. This marks the second time that the Indian Space Research Organisation (Isro) has sent a spacecraft beyond Earth's sphere of influence, following the Mars Orbiter Mission.

Aditya-L1 Successfully Escapes Earth's Influence, Heads to Lagrange Point 1

The Aditya-L1 spacecraft, launched by the Indian Space Research Organisation (Isro), has successfully escaped the sphere of Earth's influence and is now on its way to the Sun-Earth Lagrange Point 1 (L1). Aditya-L1 is India's first mission dedicated to studying the Sun and will operate in a 'Halo orbit' around L1. The mission aims to understand various aspects of the Sun, including coronal heating, solar wind acceleration, and solar wind distribution.

India's Pragyan Rover Successfully Moonwalks, Inspiring Future Lunar Missions

India's Pragyan Rover, part of the Chandrayaan-3 spacecraft, successfully descended from the Vikram lander's platform and "moonwalked" on the lunar surface. The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) released a video showcasing the rover's descent, imprint on the lunar soil, and deployed solar panel. Equipped with scientific instruments, the rover will conduct experiments, gather moon samples, and transmit data back to the lander. The mission life of the rover and lander is 1 Lunar day or 14 Earth days.

"India's Next Lunar Mission: Chandrayaan-3 Sets Course for Moon Landing"

India is preparing for its second attempt at landing on the moon with the Chandrayaan-3 mission, scheduled to touch down near the lunar south pole. The previous Indian moon landing attempt failed in 2019, and this mission comes shortly after Russia's failed moon mission to the same region. The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) is confident in the success of the mission, having made corrections based on the previous failure. India's low-budget aerospace program has been steadily growing, with achievements such as orbiting Mars in 2014. The Chandrayaan-3 mission aims to explore the relatively unmapped lunar south pole, contributing to scientific knowledge.

India's Chandrayaan-3 Successfully Captures Close-Up Photos of Moon and Prepares for Landing

India's Chandrayaan-3 probe has captured close-up photos of the moon as it prepares for its historic landing attempt near the lunar south pole on August 23 or 24. The probe, which entered lunar orbit on August 5, has been taking images of the lunar surface, including craters, as part of its reconnaissance work. If successful, Chandrayaan-3 will be India's first-ever successful lunar landing and the first soft-landing near the lunar south pole, a region believed to have water ice that could support human settlement.

Successful Separation: Chandrayaan-3's Lander Vikram Achieves Intended Orbit

India's Chandrayaan-3 spacecraft has successfully attained its intended orbit around the Moon, with the lander Vikram set to separate from the propulsion module on August 17. The spacecraft will need to achieve a 100-kilometer circular orbit before the final soft landing attempt on the Moon's South Pole on August 23. The new C3 lander has been designed to withstand potential glitches and ensure a successful landing, according to ISRO Chief S. Somnath.

Chandrayaan-3's Lunar Rover Captures Breathtaking Images in Orbit

India's Chandrayaan-3 lunar lander has entered orbit around the moon and captured its first images, showcasing the spacecraft's golden solar arrays against the lunar surface. The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) released the images, indicating that the mission is on track for a planned lunar landing attempt on August 23. The Chandrayaan-3 mission aims to achieve a precise landing near the moon's south pole, making India the fourth nation to successfully perform a soft lunar landing. The lander, Vikram, also carries a small rover called Pragyan, which will conduct surface operations and experiments before the lunar nighttime.

Chandrayaan-3's Stunning Lunar Orbit Images Unveiled!

The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) successfully placed Chandrayaan-3 into lunar orbit, capturing its first glimpse of the Moon. The spacecraft completed a planned lunar maneuver, reducing its altitude and moving closer to a 170 km x 4313 km orbit around the Moon. ISRO has three more Moon-bound maneuvers scheduled before attempting to separate the landing module, Vikram, and Pragyan (the rover), from the propulsion module. The integrated spacecraft must achieve a 100-kilometer circular orbit before the landing module attempts a soft landing on the Moon's South pole on August 23. The rover will conduct experiments on the Moon's surface for one lunar day.

Chandrayaan-3's 40-Day Lunar Journey: Exploring India's Space Advancements

Chandrayaan-3, launched by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO), is taking 40 days to reach the Moon due to the lack of a powerful rocket. To compensate, ISRO is utilizing Earth's gravity to slingshot the spacecraft around the Moon, similar to the technique used in the Mangalyaan mission to Mars. This method allows for more fuel-efficient and cost-effective missions but takes longer compared to the direct trajectory used by the Apollo missions. The extended duration is being used for precise orbital maneuvers and fine-tuning of the spacecraft's trajectory. Chandrayaan-3's mission aims to conduct scientific experiments to study the lunar environment and potential resources.
