  • Chandrayaan-3: ISRO chairman says ‘no certainty’ over waking up moon lander and rover

    By Express News Service

    KOCHI: A day after former ISRO chairman A S Kiran Kumar spelt out there isn’t a hope of waking up the Chandrayaan-3’s moon lander and rover, the current chairman of the area analysis organisation S Somnath hinted a few chance, however no certainty over re-establishing contact with the rover Pragyan and lander Vikram.

    Speaking to PTI on Friday, Space Commission member and former chairman of ISRO Kiran Kumar dominated out the potential for waking up the moon lander and rover.

    “No, no, there won’t be any more hope of reviving. Now, if it should have happened, it should have happened by now. There is (now) no chance at all,” Kiran Kumar was quoted as saying by the PTI.

    Speaking after he was awarded the Vikram Sarabhai Vigyan Puraskar instituted by Kakkanad, the Kochi-based Vikram Sarabhai Science Foundation (VSSF), Somnath identified that India’s third lunar mission’s goal was achieved in 14 days, after which it entered sleep mode. One day on the Moon is equal to 14 days on Earth.

    However, on re-establishing contact with the rover and lander, which had gone into sleep mode on September 2, Somnath stated, “There’s a possibility, but there’s no certainty”.

    Somanath, the driving pressure behind Chandrayaan 3, which etched India’s title on the moon and within the annals of historical past, additionally reminisced about his early days at ISRO. “When I first became a part of ISRO, it was during a challenging period for the organization. I remember being mocked by people while taking the bus, reminding me of our setbacks and failures,” he informed a big gathering of scholars, who assembled on the Vikram Sarabhai Science School, Kakkanad, for the eighth VSSF Science Conclave.

    Replying to a associated question, Somanath stated the toughest problem he confronted in the course of the Chandrayaan 3 mission was the gentle touchdown. “There had been quite a lot of elements to be thought of to make the touchdown.”

    Many surprise how ISRO, a authorities entity, operates with such ardour and dedication. “Several factors contribute to this. Firstly, the autonomy granted to it plays a pivotal role. Secondly, the organizational structure effectively takes into account the insights of scientists and acts upon them. Lastly, the thrill of witnessing an idea transform from a mere concept to a finalized product is undeniably one of the most satisfying experiences one can have,” the ISRO chief stated.

    Somnath suggested the scholars to deal with a specific subject of research and acquire deep information fairly than making an attempt to achieve information in all fields of science. “An important quality students should have is a good reading habit. They should also have a commitment to society and know what’s happening around them,” Somnath, a local of Alappuzha, stated.

     He additionally emphasised the necessity for reforms within the subject of schooling. “Only people genuinely all in favour of science ought to pursue superior research in it. While everybody ought to obtain a primary schooling in science, increased schooling on this subject must be reserved for many who are actually passionate and certified. Today, we observe many engineering graduates, but their employability is commonly low. There must be a real curiosity in it fairly than simply employability,” he stated.

    Vikram Sarabhai Vigyan Puraskar award includes a money prize of Rs 2 lakh and a quotation, which was handed to Somanath. The occasion noticed digital participation from G Madhavan Nair, a former ISRO chairman. Other dignitaries included V P Joy, former chief secretary of the Kerala authorities; Indira Rajan, the CEO of VSSF; Umesh N.S.Okay., the Ernakulam district collector; and E Nandhakumar, together with representatives from numerous entities.
