ISRO GSLV MkIII-M1 / Chandrayānam-2 (Chandrayaan-2) Mission: July 15, 2019

[BringHarmony]

historic? Americans landed on the moon 60 years ago.

we soft landed on the far side of moon with a much much bigger payload than yours.

Given that only 3 nations have achieved it, it is indeed historic.

Chandrayaan 2's Planned Landing Most Complex In ISRO History: Ex-Chairman

September 03, 2019

On soft-landing on the Moon, he said its something like flying saucers coming in hovering on the top and then slowly descending, as in science fiction.

It's almost a similar sequence which ISRO is going to implement, with practically no real-time controls on the ground.

Chandrayaan 2 - Landing on Moon - LIVE from MOX-ISTRAC, Peenya, Bengaluru:

Rough Braking in process.

Close match:

 

[Galactic Penguin SST]

Chandrayaan-2 is no more, the Vikram lunar lander has just crashed during its unsuccessful attempted descent, unable to survive what ISRO's Chairman K Sivan has described as the most dreaded "15 minutes of terror", and sharing the fate of the previously doomed Israeli Beresheet lunar lander of 11th April 2019.

It was clear from the desperate prayers offered by Indian devotees to Lord Ganesha that only a miracle could have saved the Chandrayaan-2 lunar mission.

As a minor spacefaring power, the task was simply beyond ISRO's current technological capacity, and will remain so for many years.

China, the U.S.S.R. and the U.S.A. as the only three members of the most Elite Club of Lunar Landing Superpowers can wait patiently until the next spacefaring powers join the group: North Korea, Japan and then South Korea.

Until then, the entry into this club will remain for years to come inaccessible for India and Israel.

Chandrayaan 2's Planned Landing Most Complex In ISRO History: Ex-Chairman

"From there, it's really going to be a tough job. On-board cameras will be mapping the terrain, sending the pictures to us. Then we will have to select the appropriate location and see that in the exact location it descends slowly to the surface," Mr Nair said in an interview to PTI.
"It's a very, very complex operation. I don't think any nation has done a similar operation trying to have real time pictures and then try to have an on-board computer implement autonomously the function of the landing. It's going to be a remarkable event and we are all looking forward to that event. I am sure it will be a 100 per cent success," he said.
On soft-landing on the Moon, he said its something like flying saucers coming in hovering on the top and then slowly descending, as in science fiction.

No signal being received as fine braking was in process.

Bad luck. They did their best. Better luck next time to ISRO.

Only as the 7th nation, after North Korea, Japan and South Korea!

The worms will crawl out to disparage us, one has already come out. They would vanish if we were successful.

Np even as the last nation we will be happy. ISRO is a feather in our cap. They should not give up.

 

[KapitaanAli]

Most likely crashed unless some weird coincidence.

Anyway, the Orbiter will carry on. The Lander's contribution will be experience and some data from closer orbits.

Modi must be ...ohh no eik aur crash , chalo tea tu nahi miley gi

btw ndtv and toi still saying that lander is still descending ...so where are u guys reading about crash ?

It's a 15 min operation. It can't be still in 'air' unless it decided to fly away.

Best case scenario is communication trouble. But the graph shows worse, unless a glitch there too.

Similar to what Israel did before...

Remember what happened to the Chinese Yinghuo-1 Mars orbiter?
Launched on November 8, 2011, it was supposed to be inserted around a Mars orbit before the Indian Mangalyaan, launched later on November 5, 2013. But Yinghuo-1 was lost due to the incompetence of the Russian launcher. Then India has bragged about its alleged superiority over China in outer space. Today, justice has been done, as per the Matrix (see my many warnings. Note that I wrote the comment about the crash yesterday already, knowing that it could not succeed!). With both a major failure, China now leads the way!!
