ISRO will now launch Chandrayaan-2 on July 22. On July 15, due to technical
shortcomings, its launch was postponed. There was some flaw in its rocket
system. It will now be launched from Sriharikota on July 22 at 2.43 pm India
had canceled the second moon mission, Chandrayaan-2 from Sriharikota's Space
Launch Center, about an hour before the due time due to technical shortcomings.
976 crores is being spent on this mission.
President Ramnath Kovind was present to see the launch of Chandrayaan-2,
which is being done through GSLV Mark -... Geostationary satellite launch vehicle
called 'Bahubali'. The launch was to be held at 2:51 PM on July 15. 56 minutes
from the launch of the mission 24 seconds before the announcement from the
Mission Control Room was stopped at 1.55 pm. BR Gurprasad, associate director
of ISRO's Public Relations Department, had said, "In the launch vehicle
system, there was a technical shortcoming at T-minus 56 minutes and
Chandrayaan-2 launched as a precaution has been postponed for today."
The space agency had earlier placed the date of launch in the first week of
January, but later changed it to July 15. This 3,850 kilograms spacecraft was
to carry an orbiter, a lander and a rover with Satish Dhawan Space Center
located in Sriharikota. This satellite was to land in the South Pole region of
the Moon, where it tried to know its untimely aspects. From this 11 years ago,
ISRO launched the first successful Moon Mission - Chandrayaan-1, which made
3,400 rounds of Moon and kept it working for 312 days till August 29, 2009.
According to plan of carefully formed orbital steps, it takes 54 days to
land on the moon. With the Chandrayaan-2, considered the most complex of ISRO
and the most prestigious mission of all time, after India, Russia, America and
China, the country will become the fourth country to have a soft landing on the
moon surface. If you look at the data, then in the last six decades, 109 were
successful in Moon Missions and 48 failed.
The US space agency NASA's database on moon missions has put this figure in
front. From 1958 to 2019, along with India, the US, USSR (now Russia), Japan,
European Union and China have launched various moon missions. The first mission
to the moon was made by the US on August 17, 1958, but the launch of 'Pioneer
0' was unsuccessful. Success came after six missions. The first successful moon
mission was Luna 1, which was launched by the Soviet Union on January 4, 1959.
