How much hope is there for a record lander to reach the lunar surface?


Scientists have been raising day and night for millions of people to launch an unmanaged landing lander on the surface of the moon in ISRO's Chandrayaan-2. At the time of the landing of the lunar yan-2, the record that has been lost for a while has now been tilted to the surface of the moon. Since lander's soft landing is very important on the surface of the moon, efforts are still being made to contact Vikram. After Chandrayaan's orbiter has discovered the exact location of the lander, ISRO scientists are constantly sending signals and trying to contact the lander.

Different commands are being given by setting the frequency with the lander. If the landlord responds to any of these commands, that would be a huge success. So far, no response has been received from the lander on the surface of the moon. A 32-meter-high antenna installed in the Bayalalu village of Karnataka is being used to connect the lander, which is connected to the space network in Bangalore.

Apart from this, the orbiter is also trying to contact the lander but has not been successful. There are three transponders and antennas for the record lander to respond to. A dome-shaped machine is mounted on it. Vikram can carry signals from Earth orbiter only through this. Solar panels are embedded on the outer body of Vikram so it can generate power from solar energy after landing but it is not known if solar energy has been created.


The record lander was to land on the moon at 1.53 pm on September 7, according to Indian time. When the record rover had to land on the lunar surface with an orbiter for 1.35 minutes. The lander was circling 35 km above the surface of the moon. At 1.37 minutes, when the record lander was moving to land on the surface of the moon, its speed was 21600 km per hour.

Which was to be 7 km per hour at landing time so that it could land easily on the surface. Lander's distance was also decreasing according to plan. A rough breaking phase of 5 km above the surface of the moon was also successfully crossed. Then only 2.1 km distance from the surface was left with contact with Vikram. It was not known exactly how fast Vikram hit the surface. Scientists believe that a maximum speed of 18 km per hour can remain safe as long as the land is landed, but if it does land a high speed crash landing, the lander is useless.

There is a saying that hope is immortal, but scientists believe that when the landing record was about 2 km away, when the hard landing was replaced by a soft landing, the hope of contact is low if the equipment is broken. However, many experts believe that the contact was broken, which does not mean that the crash landing. Earlier, ISRO had taken control of the lost satellite by contacting again, but it would be the first time that a lander has been approached on the surface of the moon.
