Aditya-L1 solar mission completes critical procedure; second Earth-bound manoeuvre successful, says ISRO

As the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) strives to awaken Chandrayaan-3's Vikram lander and Pragyan rover after nearly two weeks in 'sleep mode,' there is some optimism. Pragyan Rover has a good chance of being revived from its death sleep! Former ISRO scientist and Padma Shri awardee Mylswamy Annadurai offers insights into the fraught Chandrayaan-3 mission situation.

Chandrayaan-3 , India's third lunar mission, has been a huge success in the field of space and technology. It has opened various doors for future missions. This achievement would not be possible without the strong foundation of ISRO. The space agency is on a continuous mission to bring India to the forefront of innovation and technology. That's why even after the huge success of Chandryaan-3 mission, it is continuing to plan future ones. These missions will be focused on bringing samples back from the Moon. Know what is next after Chandrayaan-3:

In a bid to revive the Chandrayaan-3 mission on the lunar surface, the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) is facing a daunting challenge as they attempt to reestablish communication with the dormant Vikram Lander and Pragyan Rover. Despite their best efforts, no signals have been received from the lunar duo, leaving ISRO in a race against time to awaken these vital components of the Chandrayaan-3 mission on the Moon.

After the successful landing on the Moon's surface, the Chandrayaan-3 mission has become a massive worldwide triumph for India in general and the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) in particular. ISRO achievements and amazing findings through the Chandrayaan-3 propulsion module, Vikram Lander and Pragyan Rover will help scientists know more about the Moon and even the formation of our solar system. Both Vikram and Pragyan remained active for 14 lunar days till the lunar night began and ISRO had to put them into sleep mode. Chandrayaan-3 mission was put on pause and now ISRO scientists are hoping to revive the Vikram Lander and Pragyan Rover for further research. But will ISRO be able to perform this miracle and awaken them successfully? It will be extremely difficult, if not impossible. Know what the expert says about the activation.

Indian Space Research Organisation made history by landing the Vikram Lander on the Moon through its Chandrayaan 3 mission. Not just that, Pragyan Rover too successfully trundled out of the Vikram lander and roamed on the Moon to study the lunar surface for 14 days and gave people some amazing and unimaginable insights that can now further be analyzed by space scientists. With the great achievement of Indian scientists, PM Narendra Modi spoke today about the importance of the Shiv Shakti point on the Moon that was named by India.

In the last few years, Apple has been investing heavily in India. The Cupertino-based tech giant set up a manufacturing plant for its older iPhone models a few years ago, while it also kicked off the production of the latest iPhone 14 model in 2022. Recently, it was revealed that Apple would also make the standard iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus models in India, and they would go on sale within 10 days of launch, making it one of the first countries to get its newest flagship iPhone series. Now that the iPhone 15 has been unveiled, its technical specifications reveal that it uses a GPS developed by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO).

Aditya L1 was launched on September 2, 2023, from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota. Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) used the Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV-C57 rocket) for the launch, which carried seven payloads onboard that will be used to study the Sun's environment. ISRO reported that the spacecraft has successfully completed its third manoeuvre and it will go through a total of five phases till it moves towards the Lagrange point 1 (L1). The latest Aditya-L1 update is that ISRO is targeting September 15 as the next date to effect another manoeuvre.

India's pioneering space mission, Aditya L1, aimed at studying the Sun, has achieved another milestone with its third successful manoeuvre around Earth. The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) reported that the operation took place in the early hours of Sunday and was conducted by the Telemetry, Tracking, and Command Network (ISTRAC) based in Bengaluru.

Chandrayaan-3 and Aditya-L1 missions were a massive success for the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) and now, India and the US have joined forces for an exciting partnership to send Indian astronauts into space in 2024. Yes, India and the United States are teaming up to explore space together. Prime Minister Narendra Modi and US President Joe Biden made this exciting announcement after their meeting during the G20 summit. They said that India's space agency, ISRO, and NASA, the American space agency, are talking about how to work together to visit the International Space Station (ISS) in 2024. They're also figuring out how to cooperate on sending people into space, and they plan to finalize their plan by the end of 2023.

Tech Briefing today: The tech world was abuzz with new announcements and developments today, and if you have missed them, we have curated the top stories from the day that you should know about. A new report has highlighted two reasons why there will be an iPhone 15 Pro price hike, causing some disappointment to fans. In other news, India's maiden solar mission Aditya-L1 completed its second Earth-bound maneuver in the early hours of today. This and more in today's Tech briefing. Let us take a look.

Today, ISRO has achieved another milestone as the Aditya-L1 spacecraft, launched by ISRO on September 2, has successfully completed its first earth-bound maneuver. Along with Chandrayaan-3, Aditya-L1 is proving to be a great success for India in the field of space exploration.

India has sent its first spacecraft to study the Sun. This exciting mission, called Aditya-L1, took off from Sriharikota on a Saturday at 11:50 AM India time (06:20 AM GMT). It's going to travel really far – 1.5 million kilometers (932,000 miles) from Earth. That's only 1% of the distance between Earth and the Sun. It will take four months for Aditya-L1 to reach that far.
