GK Question: Questions related to current affairs and general knowledge are asked in government recruitment examinations such as RRB, NTPC, SSC, UPSC, CETET, UPTET, SSC GD, Railway etc. Nowadays ISRO's mission 'Chandrayaan-3' is in headlines. In such a situation, it is almost certain that questions related to this will definitely be asked in the upcoming recruitment examinations. That's why we have brought for you some questions and their answers related to ISRO and its Chandrayaan mission.
What is Chandrayaan-3 mission?
Through the Chandrayaan-3 mission, ISRO will try to land on the south pole of the moon. Through this mission, chemicals and geographical information present on the surface of the moon will be collected. The origin of the earth will also be explored through this mission. Many information will be collected through the rover fitted in Chandrayaan-3.
How is it different from Chandrayaan-2
In 2019, ISRO tried to land on the moon under the Chandrayaan-2 mission but the lander crashed at the last moment due to technical glitches. Chandrayaan-2 carried a lander, a rover and an orbiter with it. The same Chandrayaan-3 is lashed with a lander, a rover and a propulsion model. Instead of the small space of 500 meters by 500 meters, the landing spot in Chandrayaan-2 has been increased to a larger space of 4.3 km by 2.5 km in Chandrayaan-3. Due to this, now the lander will get more space for soft landing. This time the fuel capacity has also been increased so that if the lander finds it difficult to find a place for soft landing, then it can be easily moved to an alternate landing spot.
For how long will Chandrayaan-3 work?
ISRO scientists have expressed hope that the lander and rover will work till one lunar day. One lunar day is equal to 14 Earth days. Talking about the same propulsion model, it can run smoothly for three to six months.
Which rocket will carry Chandrayaan-3?
Chandrayaan-3 will be carried by LVM-3 rocket launcher. This rocket launcher is also called Bahubali rocket launcher. It has successfully completed all its missions so far. Chandrayaan-2 was also launched from this rocket.
How much is the payload?
A total of 6 payloads are engaged in Chandrayaan-3. Payloads means instruments that can probe on the moon. The lander is fitted with Rambha LP, Chaste and ILSA. At the same time, APXS and LIBS payloads are engaged in the rover.
When will we land on the surface of the moon?
This entire mission will be of 45 to 50 days. The ISRO chief has said that if the mission goes according to plan, an attempt will be made to land the lander and rover on the lunar surface on August 23-24. If there is a problem in landing due to some reason, then an attempt will be made to land again in the month of September.
How many countries have landed so far?
If ISRO is able to successfully soft land on the south pole of the Moon, then India will become the first country in the world to do so. Earlier many countries had tried but till now success has not been achieved. Landing was attempted a total of 38 times but only four countries have been successful in landing on the flat surface of the moon. The success rate of landing on the moon is only 52 percent.
What happened to Chandrayaan-2 mission?
The 2019 Chandrayaan-2 mission was declared partially successful by ISRO. During landing it developed a technical fault which led to its crash landing. This time ISRO has made a lot of changes in Chandrayaan-3.
