India – NewsPatrolling.com – 12th September, 2024 : After an unfortunate crash of Chandrayaan-2 back in 2019, ISRO recharged its attempts to get to the moon. And, on 23rd August 2024, the nation felt pride as Chandrayaan-3 landed on the moon’s south pole making it the fourth country to make a lunar landing after Russia, China, and the United States. Not just that, it was also the first one to land on the moon’s south pole, a feat for the nation. Now, it has been more than a year since this successful mission. The journey from Chandrayan-1 to Chandryaan-3 has been nothing less than epic. So much so, that it has also inspired a movie named Chandrayaan Chandrayaan in 2010 that tells the tale of India’s first successful mission to the moon. If you wish to watch the movie before learning about Chandrayaan-3, you can look for free movies download websites.
So, what has Chandrayaan-3’s Vikram Moon Lander been up to? What is the progress of the mission? And what do experts have to say about it?
Let’s find out!
Before ISRO successfully launched Chandrayaan-3 (read Chandrayaan 3 quotes from famous and popular people), the primary evidence of any kind of magma oceans on the Moon was presented by NASA’s Apollo program. However, after months on the moon’s south pole, the ISRO team with the help of Chandrayaan-3, has detected the presence of a ferroan anorthosite.
Now, what is ferroan anorthosite?
As per scientists, when Earth’s natural satellite was formed and it started to cool, ferroan anorthosite, a lighter mineral, started to float and settle on the surface. However, the moon lander has also confirmed the presence of magnesium on the satellite planet which could essentially contradict the ferroan anorthosite theory.
However, on 22nd August 2024, the mission ended permanently after both the rover & lander went into a planned sleep mode and never reverted into action. If you wish to relive the epic moment when Chandrayaan-3 landed on the moon, you can check it out on YouTube or even opt for a YouTube video download if you want to store this unforgettable memory forever.
Recalling these feats, on National Space Day, on August 23rd, let us take a look at the quotes from the team that made this a success story. And, while you are at it, do not forget to bask in the glory of our nation and look for MP3 songs from the movie adaptation mentioned earlier. Trust us, you will get teary-eyed. Especially when the song “Saabaashiyaan” plays on screen!
S Somnath, ISRO chairman, recalled that the entire mission from start to the landing connected deeply with everyone making it a “moment of glory for Indians.”
“It is a moment of glory for India and a moment of destiny for all of us who are as part of the history in making,” said, Dr. Jitendra Singh, Union Minister For Science and Technology.
The Chandrayaan-3 moon mission has surely been nothing short of epic. A saga of the ISRO bravehearts one can never forget.
