Chandrayaan 2: 5 things that will make every Indian proud

Chandrayaan 2 is our country’s second moon mission mand by Indian Research Organisation (ISRO). With it, India took a giant leap towards outer , making one billion dreams soar even higher. Geosynchrous Satellite Launch Vehicle Mark-III or GSLV Mk – III, ISRO’s most powerful launch vehicle, successfully lifted off from Satish Dhawan Centre at Sriharikota, placing craft in Earth’s Orbit. ISRO’s committed and continuous efforts have resulted in Chandrayaan 2’s flawless launch, making every Indian swell with pride. Here are five reasons why every Indian should feel proud of it:

#1 Landing on Moon for first time

India will land on lunar surface for very first time with ISRO’s Chandrayaan 2. Chandrayaan 1, craft orbiting around Moon helped analyze lunar surface. However, in this mission, Chandrayaan 2 has three components, namely, Lander Vikram, Orbiter, and Rover Pragyaan. Meanwhile, Orbiter will orbit around Moon, Lander will attempt a soft landing on moon to set up six-wheeled artificial-intelligence powered Rover. Rover will evaluate lunar surface and conduct experiments for exploration and furr studies.

#2 India’s ‘Rocket Women’

Chandrayaan 2 project is being led by two veteran women scientists of ISRO apart from maiden milestones. Ritu Karidhal and Muthayya Vanitha, also kwn as India’s ‘Rocket Women’ led project for all its main components. Ritu Karidhal is Mission Director, while Muthayya Vanitha is Project Director for Chandrayaan 2. se women scientists have been working with ISRO for almost two deces with ir illustrious scientific prowess and critical expertise for engineering. y have been a part of sub-system development for satellites and past launches.

#3 Inaugural mission to land on Moon’s South Polar Region

Chandrayaan 2 proved to be a boon to our country as it helped put us on map in global research. This is first-ever mission to conduct a soft landing on Moon’s South Polar region. It is also first Indian lunar expedition with homegrown techlogy. launch vehicle GSLV Mk - III has been completely designed and me within country, hence Chandrayaan 2 is a fully domestic mission.

#4 India w 4th country to have ever landed on Moon

Previously, United States, China, and former Soviet Union have attempted a soft landing on moon. With Chandrayaan 2 mission, India has accompanied se league of nations across world to make a soft landing on lunar surface. This led our country into a group of global leers for techlogy and research. India is w regarded amongst largest research nations.

#5 Minimal cost of engineering

ecomic cost of engineering stood out for Chandrayaan 2 mission. Its total cost is much lower than that of several or lunar missions. Specifically, total cost of Chandrayaan 2 is INR 978 crores, mission cost being INR 603 crores and cost of its launch is INR 375 crores. Interestingly, this mission cost a lower budget than many English movies such as Avengers Endgame, Titanic, Avatar, Spider-Man 3. Thus, ISRO has w me history with this cost-effective but efficient mission.
