ISRO LOST CONTACT WITH CHANDRAYAAN-I
The Indian space Research organization (ISRO) abruptly lost contact with Chandrayaan-I at 01.30 am on Saturday 29th August 2009. This means no command can be given to the space craft and no data, including images of the moon’s surface, are being received from it.
The Chandrayaan-I mission has come to an end in ten months instead of its slated life of two years. India’s first space craft to the moon was launched on October 22,2008 from Sri Harikota, on Saturday that the space craft had completed 312 days in orbit, making more than 3,400 orbits around the moon. It provided a large amount of data from its sophisticated instruments such as the Terrain Mapping Camera, the Hyper-spectral imager, the moon mineralogy mapper and so one. ISRO claimed that the mission had met most of its scientific objectives.
Chandrayaan-I sent back more than 70,000 images of the lunar surface, which provided breath taking views of lunar mountains and craters, especially craters in the permanently shadowed areas of the moon’s polar region. It also collected data on the chemical and mineral content of the moon’s soil. The director of Chandrayaan-I told that the mission had almost completed its objectives. It has done its job technically 100 percent, scientifically also, it has done almost 90-95 percent of its job
India’s Chandrayaan –I mission, the countries first effort at deep space exploration, has come to a premature end. Radio contact with the lunar probe was lost 312 days after it traveled in to space aboard the polar satellite launch vehicle. According to Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) data were received from the probe till shortly after midnight on August 29. ISRO will now be better prepared to undertake the chandrayaan-2 mission which, with Russian involvement.
The Chandryaan II mission would be on the track as per schedule (2012/13) albeit with valuable lesions learnt in the Chandrayaan –I expedition” ISRO chief Sri Madhavan Nair said “we have learnt some valuable lesions, and we have to look for devices that are less susceptible to radiation in future expeditions”
