Chandrayaan-3: ISRO’s Chandrayaan-3 successfully landed on the South Pole of the Moon on August 23 at 6.04 pm. Due to which the country is going to land in this region of the moon. world’s first And has become the fourth country in the world to make a successful ‘soft landing’ on the lunar surface. On July 14, there is an atmosphere of celebration in the whole country due to the successful ‘soft landing’ of Chandrayaan-3, which left for the 41-day lunar journey and India’s mastery of this technology. Today we will introduce you to the team behind this successful mission and know their educational qualifications.

Aditya-L1 mission will be launched on September 2 at 11:50 am
Regarding the PSLV-C57/Aditya-L1 mission, ISRO informed that the launch of Aditya-L1, the first space-based Indian observatory to study the Sun, is scheduled on September 2 at 11:50 am from Sriharikota.
The temperature was recorded at 70 degree centigrade
The Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) on Sunday released a graph of temperature variation on the lunar surface and a senior scientist of the space agency expressed surprise over the highest temperature ever recorded on the moon. According to ISRO, the ‘Lunar Surface Thermo Physical Experiment’ (CHEST) measured the ‘temperature profile’ of the lunar mantle around the south pole, to understand the thermal behavior of the lunar surface. ISRO scientist B.K. H. M. Darukesha said, we all believed that the temperature on the surface could be around 20 degree centigrade to 30 degree centigrade, but it is 70 degree centigrade. It surprisingly exceeded our expectation.
release detailed overview
ISRO said in a post on ‘X’ (formerly Twitter) that here are the first observations of the chest payload on Vikram Lander. To understand the thermal behavior of the lunar surface, CHEST measured the temperature profile of the lunar mantle around the poles. The space agency said that the payload has a temperature measuring instrument capable of reaching a depth of 10 cm below the surface. ISRO said in a statement, it has 10 temperature sensors. The presented graph shows the lunar surface/near-surface temperature variation at different depths. These are the first such records for the Moon’s south pole. Detailed review continues.
