coffee_rules Posted August 29, 2023 Author Share Posted August 29, 2023 On a lighter note. Got this today as a forward, all Bangaloreans will agree! "The real masterstroke was to base the ISRO Chandrayaan team in Bangalore! The road surfaces in Bangalore were painstakingly made to resemble the lunar surface. Each scientist was then made to navigate Bangalore traffic everyday. As a result, the lunar rover moves at speeds just a fraction faster than Bangalore traffic. Everyone had experience in experimenting with plan A, B, C, D..... N to reach their destination. No one has highlighted the key contribution from BBMP that helped ISRO engineers simulate navigation on the moon with great precision, for the last three years! BBMP - The Real Unsung Heros of the Chandrayaan 3 mission. " Lord, dial_100, randomGuy and 2 others 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnterTheVoid Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 You see how ISRO started off and where they are today. They transported rocket parts on the back of bicycles and bullock carts. Such an inspirational journey So, so, so, proud of them. diga and dial_100 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rover Pragyan is by design equipped with B&W camera. It has to conserve energy to last only 2 weeks, so memory and bandwidth needs to be designed for least consumption. More than pics, it is supposed to do a lot of chemical analysis of the moon surface to detect water, hydrogen etc. whatever it is, this is a monumental success for India/ISRO EnterTheVoid 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do you think that the lander will land at 1000s of mph down with a flag on top? Who would hoist a tiranga after it landed? Waste of code and battery power just for one pic!

Lone Wolf Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 So Mangalyaan 2 will be another oribiter mission... ISRO expects a rover landing mission sometime after 2030... Hopefully a Rover worthy to compete with Chinks. Nearly 16 years in the making The race to be 3rd country after US China to land on Mars is wide open Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is bigger than Chandrayaan India would have exploded if we had a landing mission on Mars... This is a orbiter mission hence not a lot of excitement. Not a lot of build up to it as well planned by ISRO. So it was a medium low key event. Hopefully such events would boost partnerships with Western space agencies when it comes to R&D programs & we keep improving provided they are willing to share tech.
