Indian automatic station "Chandrayan-3" transmitted footage of filming the surface of the moon

India literally burst into the small club of powers with space exploration technologies. Moreover, New Delhi did not waste time on trifles and immediately began to implement one of the most difficult stories throughout the world astronautics projects by launching the first lunar mission "Chandrayan-1" in 2008.

The second mission to send Chandrayaan 2 to the Moon failed while attempting a soft landing during a critical turn maneuver.

The Indian automatic space station Chandrayaan-3 with an orbiter, a lander and a lunar rover was launched into space on July 14 and entered the lunar orbit on August 5, after which the device began to fly over the Earth's satellite in order to reduce the distance before landing to one hundred kilometers. In fact, the launch vehicle will remain in orbit, acting as a signal relay satellite, and the Vikram descent module will be sent to the lunar surface.

The maneuver to separate it from the base platform was scheduled for August 17, later the Indian Space Research Organization reported that the descent could be delayed until August 27. However, nothing unforeseen, as in the case of the Russian apparatus Luna-25, did not happen. The descent module began landing on the moon on a given date.

Today, the Indian automatic station Chandrayan-3 transmitted footage of filming the surface of the moon, taken by one of the cameras of the Vikram lander. At the moment, it is already known that the landing platform of the Chandrayaan-3 lunar station successfully made a soft landing, landing at its South Pole for the first time in the history of studying an Earth satellite. The Indian Space Agency broadcast was watched by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and 7,8 million others.

It is expected that the payload of the lunar rover of the Chandrayaan-3 mission will provide breakthrough knowledge about the elemental composition of the lunar surface. The lunar rover is equipped with an X-ray alpha-particle spectrometer and a laser-guided spectroscope. Detectors are also installed on the Vikram descent module.

Congratulations to India on a wonderful achievement.

Here is the water of the Ganges ....... well done

Surely without Krishna it could not have done in this matter.
I immediately remember the guys from India with whom I studied. And how seriously they took their studies. Some of them, after defending their diplomas, immediately moved to the States (not to their own).

[alystan]

Still those stupid ones.

It's you in vain so. Say also that the Chinese are like that too.
I noted diligence. Many had a problem with Russian.

That's interesting so. The Chinese delivered two lunar rovers, several kilograms of soil to the Moon, launched several orbital stations and a relay probe to the Lagrange point L2 (for the operation of the Chang'e-4 mission with a lunar rover on the back (!!!) side of the Moon).
The Hindus launched an orbital probe and two moon rovers (but the first, however, crashed, although the second orbital module is still working), and they also have a Martian orbital probe.
Roskosmos successfully fell in love with Mars-96, Phobos-Grunt and Luna-25.
But for some reason they are "dumb-headed"

By the way, here is the first shot from the surface:

[Blackbeard]

if we already send one device every 10 years, then the situation will remain the same

These, as you said, dumb-heads passed us at the turn. So there is little reason to be rude.
Hello to our Roscosmos!

[Nickelium]

How could they get around us, if our Lunokhod was plowing a path on the Moon many years ago? That landed - well done. But why carry frank nonsense? No one has landed a man on Mars yet. Where are the Chinese and Indians?

It was the Soviet apparatuses that were toiling a path on the moon. At that time, much attention was paid to space and science. The Soviet government spared no effort and money for the development of the industry and the training of specialists. Starting from a locksmith and ending with socialists, engineers and scientists. Today, a path is being built on the ground, for the export of capital abroad.

[Zebulun]

Not yours, but Soviet, because as soon as thanks to the peoples of the USSR they were able to fly into space and fly to the moon

Hello to our Roscosmos!

To bypass that , of course bypassed . That's just why they have the Moon in frames ... GRAY? After all, even Soviet schoolchildren knew that the Moon was brown, our "Probes" photographed it in color. And the Chinese in their frames showed exactly the brown moon. But the Indians apparently were not interested in this, they had seen enough of the Americans with pavilion shooting, and they covered the set with cement, depicting regolith.
The gray or blue moon appears from the earth because of our atmosphere. But even with an ordinary video camera with a good zoom ... DAY, if you point at the Moon and run over ... it becomes light brown. Despite the atmosphere. But really, it's just brown.
In my distant school years, we had a big globe of the Moon at school. Brown .

But the fact that the gypsies are sending us false / unreliable footage does not add points to the failed Roskosmos in the least.

[bayard]

As I understand it, the minusers have not seen a single genuine color photograph of the lunar surface. Well, at least put ignoramuses into the search engines. Or look at the pictures and footage of Chinese vehicles on the moon. Everything is brown. And from the earth we see the Moon through the light filter of the atmosphere.
However, the Indian footage could just be an illustration cartoon for the media. But if they continue to show the gray moon ... everything will be clear with them.

Looked From "Chane'e-4":

From Chang'e-5:

In those supposedly brown shots, you can see that both white and other colors are distorted. This was done to increase the contrast of shadows and to reduce the amount of transmitted data in the early stages. After that, they began to transmit normal color photographs, where the Moon is gray, they were brought to you above.

Young man, if you are so incurious, gullible or biased, at least find on YouTube (it came out one or two weeks ago) a video with a lecture by an elderly academician - a participant in the Soviet lunar program. It is quite interesting and informative. There he gives color photographs of the Moon by the Soviet Zond (this is the Soyuz without an orbital compartment - a ball, on which our cosmonauts were supposed to fly). In order to calibrate the color and make sure that the color reproduction is correct, the "Zond" first photographed the Earth. And then flying over the moon took color pictures of the moon itself. The descent vehicle returned to the ground, the film was developed, the pictures were compared, and they were convinced of the correct color reproduction. after that, maps and globes of the moon were issued for schools and universities, namely in brown. And I have used these maps and a globe since my school years.
And I also knew several participants in our lunar program - the designers of the descent lunar module. This was done by a group of Yuzhmash designers. They met regularly with the astronauts who were preparing for the Moon - after all, they created equipment for them. That group of cosmonauts was headed by Yu.A. Gagarin. Until his death.
So I know this topic not only from books and films. And I've always been interested in her. In addition, for three years (from 1988 to 1991) I participated in ensuring the control of the landing of almost all of our spacecraft, incl. and Burana.
Your "lack of curiosity" is very symptomatic. But I’m more interested in the chain of events - once again we have materials about the "US Lunar Scam", "Luna-25" (among other things) should photograph the "landing sites" of the Americans ... and "Luna-25" falls on the Moon without completing missions.
I knew that they were not that one for a long time, when I got acquainted with the materials of their program back in my school years, it was breathtaking - how great and interesting everything turned out for them, how many different adventures ... and with what Cucumbers they jumped out of their descent capsule !!
And then, being older, getting acquainted with the materials, photographs of their "space" technology of that time ... I was simply shocked by the blatant props. And I was especially amused by their "spacesuit". I already knew how our lunar spacesuit looks and works, but here ... LIGHTNING.
Well, then I got to know the people involved. And although this topic was taboo, and people were subscribed (I first learned from their adult children, my peers), and then I personally met many.
The Chinese first published the original photographs, in the correct, true color. And what you present to me is a cheap photo montage and an editor that hurts your eyes.
Well, take a camera with a good zoom (where you get a telescope from) and zoom in - the Moon and through the earth's atmosphere will become light brown. In real life, it's just brown.
Why did the Chinese edit photos?
Exactly for the same reason, under Brezhnev, we decided to recognize the American staging - we agreed with them.
What did China get? Don't know . But then the USSR received a lot. The gas pipeline to Europe, the KAMAZ automobile plant, grain at a huge discount (we didn’t have enough fodder for livestock), the end of the Vietnam War on Vietnam’s terms, our withdrawal from Egypt (for this they still pay Egypt annually under the Camp David Treaty, and we then they removed this burden), "Pepsi-Cola" ... and every year a premium car for Leonid Ilyich - as a gift. I knew a guy from the Kremlin Garage, confirms.
This secret will be protected by the US as Cerberus Hades. It was this lie and our playing along (indeed, the Politburo wanted peace and normalization) that saved the United States from collapse as the hegemon of the Western world. They already lost the space race, by that time not a single American had been in space ... Until the first flight of the Shuttle.
Remember (although how do you remember this) Detente? "Soyuz-Apollo" ... Leontiev is accepted into the Knights ... Soviet oil was exported to the USA - for dollars. And then the USSR began to sell it for ... dollars. Officials and their children began to be helped to steal currency from foreign trade, opening correspondent accounts for them for kickbacks ... a claw got stuck ... and the USSR was gone.
Apparently, one of the towers decided to again blackmail the United States with their lunar skeleton in the closet ... And it seems again that they agreed.

[Wolf 1]

I completely agree. I was even surprised when our station nevertheless flew to the moon. Naively, I immediately began to wait for color photos ..

[Scalpel]

What a miserable conspiracy super-nonsense! Any normal scientist, whether Soviet or Russian, will simply laugh at this.

[bayard]

You have never met real scientists in your life.

[Mikhail Ivanov]

And let's "congratulate" Comrade Borisov on the continuation of the Rogozin case, since Luna-25 became another project that was killed, although it was also supposed to land on the Earth's satellite and work ...

[Ivan F]

Just Chandrayan-1 worked for the Indians - the impact probe reached the Moon, the station itself was in touch for another half a year. 2nd yes crashed, 3rd and 4th normal. So there is no "rolling over" accident rate.
Well, Israel, in general, launched it once. In addition, there was almost a private program there.

It is a paradox that the Indians launched 15 stations to the Moon in 3 years, we have one in 30 years. And the next landing mission, at best, in 5 years will be

And who, then, was at the helm of Soviet space that, when trying to land on the Moon, killed 11 stations in a row, and when trying to deliver lunar soil to Earth, 5 AMS in a row?

[Ivan F]

Those who sent these stations there. And they didn’t scatter the budget in such a way that during the same time that the Soviet space launched dozens of stations, the current ones barely mastered one. Yes, this one is crooked.
And yes - what are the 11 stations in a row you "ditched"?

The sixth lunar program is the moon landing.
E-6 No. 2, 04.01.1963/XNUMX/XNUMX - lost due to an accident in the upper stage.
E-6 No. 3, 03.02.1963/XNUMX/XNUMX - lost due to launch vehicle accident.
"Luna-4" (E-6 No. 4), 02.04.1963/XNUMX/XNUMX - did not reach the Moon due to an error during trajectory correction.
E-6 No. 6, 21.03.1964/XNUMX/XNUMX - lost due to launch vehicle accident.
E-6 No. 5, 20.04.1964/XNUMX/XNUMX - lost due to an accident in the upper stage.
Cosmos-60 (E-6 No. 9), 12.03.1965/XNUMX/XNUMX - lost due to an upper stage failure.
E-6 No. 8, 10.04.1965/XNUMX/XNUMX - lost due to launch vehicle accident.
"Luna-5" (E-6 No. 10), 09.05.1965/XNUMX/XNUMX - did not complete the task due to the accident of the KTDU.
"Luna-6" (E-6 No. 7), 08.06.1965/XNUMX/XNUMX - did not complete the task due to the accident of the KTDU.
"Luna-7" (E-6 No. 11), 04.10.1965/XNUMX/XNUMX - did not complete the task due to the accident of the KTDU.
"Luna-8" (E-6 No. 12), 03.12.1965/XNUMX/XNUMX - did not complete the task due to the accident of the KTDU.

It's just that propaganda in the USSR was not like the current one. The name "Moon" was received only by those AMS that entered the flight path to the Moon (and even this did not guarantee anything - out of 24 "Moons" only 14 completed the task). And another 21 AMS of the Soviet lunar series, which did not reach the Moon, remained lettered "E" or, at best, "Cosmos". In total, 14 successes and 31 failures. And then - 47 years of break.

[Ivan F]

Ah, so you decided to copy the ENTIRE RESEARCH program E6 here. However .. Well, then why didn’t you bring the E6-1 model that didn’t start here, you would have had a more impressive number of “failures”. For E6-1 is part of the program. They would say that it was so bad that they didn’t even start it And then you would get not 11, but 12 !!! unsuccessful attempts. Design errors at the drawing stage would also be very useful to you. You could even louder here to report that "then" also could not.
Interestingly, in your "world" there are no research programs, and you apparently immediately from scratch, get a 100% result in a new business for you and absolutely no research !! Yes you are a genius!!

Although admit it, you didn’t even finish talking here a little .. When they copied from Wikipedia that the Moons - 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 as part of the E6 RESEARCH PROGRAM had "PARTIAL SUCCESS", you modestly kept silent. After all, you have research, this is immediately getting a 100% result.

"It's just that propaganda in the USSR was not like the current one." - and this is natural. Just then, there were real STUDIES with a lot of work and results. And that is exactly what was promoted. Now what are you going to promote? Rising number of billionaires in Russia? Reducing the number of pensioners? Therefore, we have a logical result - Moon 25. So it's not about propaganda, but about real work.

In general, a person who compares the space program of the USSR and the "comic" program of Russia, while asking innocently - "who was standing then", looks very very suspicious. He obviously cannot fail to understand the whole real essence of such a "comparison". So the question is why does he do it? Just for the sake of once again spitting on the Union?

[former soldier]

Soviet space that, when trying to land on the moon, he ruined 11 stations in a row, and when trying to deliver lunar soil to Earth - 5 AMS in a row?

Yes, it was. A few failures and only then luck.

Interesting, what are you talking about? When did Borisov go to Africa and why? What is the crucial moment at the suggestion of some Udaltsova?

Almost a month ago, he was in South Africa on a business trip, and they write that he arranged a safari throughout Africa for himself.

July 23 2023 city

The Russian optical-electronic complex for operational monitoring of space debris has opened in South Africa. The opening ceremony of which was attended by the Director General of Roscosmos Yuri Borisov.

According to Yuri Roy, CEO of the Precision Instrumentation Systems Research and Production Corporation (NPK SPP, part of Roscosmos), the complex has passed the entire cycle of acceptance tests and is ready for operation. A team of Russian specialists is arriving in South Africa to train a work brigade from the South African side, which will operate the complex.

The station was built under a contract between NPC SPP and the South African National Space Agency. It can detect space debris at altitudes from 120 to 40 thousand km, as well as determine the angular coordinates of space objects and identify them with the database.

The complex in South Africa has become the second of four specialized optoelectronic complexes being created for the Russian automated warning system for dangerous situations in near-Earth outer space. The first one is installed in Brazil.

Prior to this, the research and production corporation built the Sazhen-TM no-question measuring system in South Africa; it is used, among other things, in the interests of the GLONASS navigation system.

In turn, Yuri Borisov expressed hope that cooperation between Russia and South Africa would develop dynamically, and the open complex would not be the last joint project.

The question is not for me. I just quoted from her article. G. Borisov, I do not have the honor to know personally. You need to contact Ms. Udaltsova for clarification on the article and her surprise at the absence of the head of Roscosmos at such an important and significant moment in the workplace. I’ll add from myself - South Africa is not on Mars, the distance from London to Sydney is even greater and no one takes a vacation after such flights, especially business people, otherwise business people. Yes, and he did not mount this station, but signed the document with a pen. Maybe Mr. Borisov foresaw the result of this mission to the Moon, hence the corresponding reaction.

Now the genius of the leader Borisov is going to "definitely" land a new satellite Luna-26 in 2027 (instead of the promised 2020). There is no hurry, of course ... after they hurried to land the faulty station a couple of days before the Indians. If Roskosmos promised in 2027, then by 2050 they will plant something. Probably they will send gifts for the 20th anniversary of the inhabited station Katin or India or the Americans.

And the most striking thing about this news is that the Indians took very few resources to do this.

The budget of their entire space agency is less than a billion dollars a year and only 17 thousand people work there.

[Andrey A]

Russia's Roscosmos budget in 2019-21 was approx. 3 billion dollars, but we financed both manned space exploration and military space and the construction of the new Vostochny cosmodrome and much more. And so, Russia had and still has the most powerful liquid-propellant rocket engines in the world RD -171 - 800 tf, this is five times more powerful than the engines on which the launch vehicle flew the Indian station into space, and even our second most powerful carrier has no equal, RD- 180 - 400 tf. So in this respect we are beyond competition. And so, you need to let fewer people into our automatic stations and our space, clean out viruses, produce domestic components and everything will work out .....

[Mekey Iptyshev]

There is an Indian film. Name in the network "Rocketman". The plot is about the birth of Indian astronautics and the fate of the "Indian Queen". The film ends with the launch of a satellite to Mars. Indians are great, they are developing. For them, this is a huge success.
The collapse of the USSR and the influence of the Americans on the Yeltsin government showed us in an interesting way.
PS After the failure of Luna-25, I watched the Soviet film Conquerors of Fire, about the birth of Soviet cosmonautics and all its stages. I want to cry.
