ISRO Mission chandrayaan 2, Challenges of a Moon's Landing.

Chandrayaan-II is the second lunar exploration campaign in India, which has been developed by the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO).  The plan is to launch the GSLV Mark 3 launch vehicle.  This campaign will include a Chandra Orbiter (Chandra Yaan) and a rover and a lander built in India.Launch between Chandrayaan 2 July 15, and the possibility of moon-landing on September 6, 2019. According to ISRO technical challenges Chandrayaan Mission can face the Moon during landing.The ISRO Chandrayaan Mission will have three modules named Orbiter, Vikram Lander and Pragyan Rover, in which there will be two different options for Landers.  ISRO has shared an image in which various challenges have been mentioned which can happen with Vikram Lander and some technical difficulties are as follows:Trajectory: The distance between the Moon and Earth is approximately 3.844 million kilometers.  Therefore, making sure to increase time while traveling at such a great distance creates many difficulties because intrusion is affected by various factors such as celestial bodies, solar radiation speed, and non-uniform gravity of the earth and the moon.
   DP Space Communication: The distance between Earth and Moon can be interrupted again, because on-board power and radio signals that use a bomb with heavy background noise will be weak.  Large antennas will need to take a limited signal.  Trans-moon injection and moon capture need to reduce the margins of error: ISRO Chandrayaan 2 and the path of the moon have to be predicted in advance with adequate and high level accuracy.  Keeping on-board electronics safe: ISRO Chandrayaan mission will carry on-board various devices like large-area cold X-ray spectrometer (LASS, Solar X-ray Monitor (XSM), NAVCAMs, and so on).  Therefore, to keep the right on-board electronics safe, the thermal environment at the height of the classroom is necessary.  Vikram Lander on the Moon:  Landing site landscape features should not be transmitted in the shadow area, and NGC and onboardation system onboard is a successful landing to be done automatically and autonomously.
  Lunar dust can affect devices: Moon dust, which is a minicose and a hard fork, can stick on surfaces and deployment mechanism, solar panel display and NGC sensor can interfere with performance.  Temperature and vacuum affecting ISRO Chandrayaan 2 cans: Extreme surface temperature and Vacuum Vikrama make the moon surface highly adverse for the operation of the lander and Pragyan Rover.

NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope Reveals New Details of the Orion Nebula’s Star Formation.

  This NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope image captures the Orion Nebula (Messier 42, M42), the nearest star-forming region to Earth, located about 1,500 light-years away. A captivating new image captured by the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope offers an extraordinary look into the Orion Nebula, the nearest massive star-forming region to Earth. Located just 1,500 light-years away, this nebula is visible to the naked eye below the three stars forming Orion's "belt." The region is home to hundreds of newborn stars, including two protostars featured in the image: HOPS 150 and HOPS 153. Named after the Herschel Orion Protostar Survey, conducted with ESA’s Herschel Space Observatory, the protostars HOPS 150 and HOPS 153 provide key insights into the early stages of star formation. HOPS 150, visible in the upper-right corner of the image, is a binary star system, with two young stars orbiting one another. These protostars are surrounded by small dusty disks, where material from th...

New Method Detects Small Asteroids in Main Belt, Offering Insight for Planetary Defense.

  An international team of physicists, led by MIT researchers, has developed a groundbreaking method to detect small asteroids, as small as 10 meters in diameter, within the main asteroid belt. These space rocks, ranging from the size of a bus to several stadiums wide, were previously undetectable using traditional methods. The team's discovery, detailed in a paper published in Nature, could significantly improve tracking of potential asteroid impactors, aiding planetary defense efforts. The main asteroid belt, located between Mars and Jupiter, is home to millions of asteroids, but until now, scientists could only detect objects roughly a kilometer in diameter. The new detection technique, which utilizes the "shift and stack" method, is able to identify much smaller asteroids, even those far from Earth, enabling more precise orbital tracking. This breakthrough is crucial for planetary defense, allowing scientists to spot near-Earth objects that may pose a threat in the fu...

XSPECT Payload Successfully Validates Performance through Cas A Observation.

  The XSPECT instrument captures a detailed spectrum of the supernova remnant Cassiopeia A (Cas A), encompassing both the Galactic Cosmic Ray (GCR) background and the Cosmic X-ray Background (CXB). The flux observed above 8 keV predominantly results from the combined contributions of CXB and GCR. The presented spectrum, depicted in the figure, is derived from a cumulative integration time of 20 ksec, collected across multiple orbits, providing valuable insights into the X-ray emissions associated with Cas A. XPoSat, India's inaugural X-ray polarimetric mission, has achieved a significant as the XSPECT instrument captures its initial observations from the Cassiopeia A (Cas A) supernova remnant. Launched on January 1, 2024, XPoSat is equipped with two co-aligned instruments, namely the POLarimeter Instrument in X-rays (POLIX) and X-ray SPECtroscopy and Timing (XSPECT). This mission is designed to unravel the mysteries of cosmic X-ray sources. While POLIX focuses on examining X-ray po...
