Chandrayaan - India’s first mission to Moon
October 22nd, 2008 · No Comments
India has successfully launched its first mission to the Moon - Chandrayaan.
The PSLV C-11 lifted off at 6:22 AM sharp, carrying the historic payload along.
The launch was not clearly visible due to cloud cover but all parameters were normal from the word go.
The Path of Chandrayaan
the PSLV has successfully injected the Chandrayaan into an elliptical orbit around Earth
It will shift to a ‘transfer orbit’ and will eventually be captured by the moon’s gravity field via a final thrust towards our celestial neighbour
Chandrayaan carries 11 scientific instruments including 6 from India alone. and a symbolic Indian flag which is expected to detach from the craft and land on the moon.
The Chandrayaan will take 15 days to reach lunar orbit where it will remain and continuously mapping the lunar surface and sending back valuable data.
