 Chandrayaan-2


Chandrayaan-2 is a lunar exploration mission developed by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) with the goal of studying the surface of the Moon and exploring the possibility of water and other minerals on the lunar surface. The mission was launched on July 22, 2019, using a GSLV Mk III rocket from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota, India.


The Chandrayaan-2 spacecraft consists of three segments: an orbiter, a lander (Vikram), and a rover (Pragyan). The orbiter, which is designed to orbit the Moon for one year, carries eight scientific payloads for mapping the lunar surface and studying the lunar exosphere. The lander, Vikram, was designed to soft-land on the lunar surface and deploy the rover, Pragyan, which was designed to roam around the landing site and conduct on-site chemical analysis of the surface.


One of the main objectives of the mission was to land a rover on the lunar surface and explore the south pole of the Moon, which is a region that has not been explored by any previous lunar mission. However, unfortunately, the communication with the lander Vikram was lost during the final descent stage, and the lander was not able to make a soft landing on the lunar surface. Despite the setback, the orbiter continues to operate and collect scientific data, and it has completed more than 70 orbits around the Moon.


The mission has provided valuable information and data about the lunar surface, such as the chemical composition, mineralogy, and topography of the lunar surface and the characteristics of the lunar exosphere. The data collected by the orbiter is being used to study the distribution of various elements and minerals on the lunar surface, and to map the surface features of the Moon.


In conclusion, Chandrayaan-2 is a lunar exploration mission developed by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) launched on July 22, 2019. It consists of three segments: an orbiter, a lander (Vikram) and a rover (Pragyan) with the goal of studying the surface of the Moon, exploring the possibility of water and other minerals on the lunar surface. The mission was not able to achieve its main objective of landing a rover on the lunar surface due to a setback during the final descent stage, but the orbiter continues to operate and collect scientific data, providing valuable information and data about the lunar surface, and it continues to be analyzed by the ISRO and other scientific institutions.

Biography:- Dr. Homi Jehangir Bhabha

 Dr. Homi Jehangir Bhabha, also known as Homi Bhabha, was an Indian nuclear physicist, engineer, and the father of India's nuclear power program. He was born on October 30, 1909, in Bombay (now Mumbai), India, and was the second of three children of Jehangir Hormusji Bhabha, a lawyer, and Meheren. Bhabha received his early education at the Cathedral and John Connon School in Bombay and later went on to study at the Elphinstone College, where he received a degree in mathematics and physics. He later received a scholarship to study at the University of Cambridge, where he received a tripos degree in mathematics in 1930 and a Ph.D. in nuclear physics in 1934. After completing his studies, Bhabha returned to India and joined the Indian Institute of Science in Bangalore as a reader in the physics department. In 1940, he established the Cosmic Ray Research Unit at the Institute, which later became the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research (TIFR). During World War II, Bhabha played a key...

Blackhole

 Title: Journey into the Depths of Black Holes: Unveiling the Enigmatic Cosmic Abyss Introduction: The universe is filled with celestial wonders, but perhaps none are as captivating and mysterious as black holes. These cosmic enigmas have intrigued scientists and sparked the imagination of the general public alike. In this article, we embark on a captivating journey to explore the fascinating world of black holes, unraveling their origins, characteristics, and the mind-bending phenomena they give rise to. 1. Defining Black Holes: Cosmic Singularities of Gravity At the heart of our exploration lies the definition of black holes. We delve into their formation through the gravitational collapse of massive stars. We examine the concept of an event horizon, the boundary beyond which nothing can escape the immense gravitational pull of a black hole. Furthermore, we explore the central singularity—a point of infinite density and spacetime curvature. 2. Anatomy of a Black Hole: Event Horiz...
