ISRO plans to return to Mars and work with Japan to examine the moon’s dark side

ISRO plans to return to Mars: The Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) has turned its attention to Venus and is collaborating with Japan to examine the moon’s dark side, following trips to the moon and Mars. ISRO‘s next mission at the Akash Tattva conference here was that the space agency also intended to send a probe to Mars.

ISRO plans to return to Mars: Key Points

  • A Japanese rocket will launch an ISRO-built lunar lander and rover into orbit with a planned landing site close to the south pole of the moon.
  • “The rover will then move to the area of the moon that is always in shadow and never receives sunlight.”
  • The examination of the area was fascinating since anything that had persisted in the PSR zone was analogous to something that had been frozen for aeons.
  • The Aditya L-1 will be a special mission in which a payload-carrying 400-kg class satellite will be deployed in an orbit around the Sun so that it may continually view the star from a location known as the Lagrange Point L-1.
  • 5 million kilometres would separate the orbit from Earth, and it would study coronal heating, solar wind acceleration, the beginning of coronal mass ejections, flares, and near-Earth space weather.
  • The Aditya L-1 and Chandrayaan-3 missions would be prioritised, as early as next year, the missions to Venus and the moon with JAXA were expected to follow.
  • The lunar rover on board Chandrayaan-3 needed to be successful because it will be used again on a mission with JAXA.
