My dream of something more... My life is a mesh of fantasy and reality, I have the unique ability to whisk myself away in times of hardship and sadness...
My house got robbed twice in a week. We are praying for the Police, and the government to help us. Please help. We do not know what to do. We need help. @MamataOfficial@KolkataPolice@KPSouthDiv
Aditya-L1 Mission:
๐ธThe spacecraft has travelled beyond a distance of 9.2 lakh kilometres from Earth, successfully escaping the sphere of Earth's influence. It is now navigating its path towards the Sun-Earth Lagrange Point 1 (L1).
๐ธThis is the second time in succession that ISRO could send a spacecraft outside the sphere of influence of the Earth, the first time being the Mars Orbiter Mission.
Aditya-L1 Mission:
Off to Sun-Earth L1 point!
The Trans-Lagrangean Point 1 Insertion (TL1I) maneuvre is performed successfully.
The spacecraft is now on a trajectory that will take it to the Sun-Earth L1 point. It will be injected into an orbit around L1 through a maneuver after about 110 days.
This is the fifth consecutive time ISRO has successfully transferred an object on a trajectory toward another celestial body or location in space.
๐ดBREAKING!
New inscription on the @UNESCO#WorldHeritage List: Santiniketan, #India ๐ฎ๐ณ. Congratulations! ๐๐

Aditya-L1 Mission:
The fourth Earth-bound maneuvre (EBN#4) is performed successfully.
ISRO's ground stations at Mauritius, Bengaluru, SDSC-SHAR and Port Blair tracked the satellite during this operation, while a transportable terminal currently stationed in the Fiji islands for Aditya-L1 will support post-burn operations.
The new orbit attained is 256 km x 121973 km.
The next maneuvre Trans-Lagragean Point 1 Insertion (TL1I) -- a send-off from the Earth -- is scheduled for September 19, 2023, around 02:00 Hrs. IST
Chandrayaan-3 Mission:
The Rover completed its assignments.
It is now safely parked and set into Sleep mode.
APXS and LIBS payloads are turned off.
Data from these payloads is transmitted to the Earth via the Lander.
Currently, the battery is fully charged.
The solar panel is oriented to receive the light at the next sunrise expected on September 22, 2023.
The receiver is kept on.
Hoping for a successful awakening for another set of assignments!
Else, it will forever stay there as India's lunar ambassador.
Chandrayaan-3 Mission:
In-situ Scientific Experiments
Instrument for the Lunar Seismic Activity (ILSA) payload on Chandrayaan 3 Lander
-- the first Micro Electro Mechanical Systems (MEMS) technology-based instrument on the moon --
has recorded the movements of Rover and other payloads.
Additionally, it has recorded an event, appearing to be a natural one, on August 26, 2023. The source of this event is under investigation.
ILSA payload is designed and realised LEOS, Bangalore. The deployment mechanism is developed by URSC, Bengaluru.

Beyond Borders, Across Moonscapes:
India's Majesty knows no bounds!.
Once more, co-traveller Pragyan captures Vikram in a Snap!
This iconic snap was taken today around 11 am IST from about 15 m.
The data from the NavCams is processed by SAC/ISRO, Ahmedabad.
Chandrayaan-3 Mission:
Smile, please๐ธ!
Pragyan Rover clicked an image of Vikram Lander this morning.
The 'image of the mission' was taken by the Navigation Camera onboard the Rover (NavCam).
NavCams for the Chandrayaan-3 Mission are developed by the Laboratory for Electro-Optics Systems (LEOS)

Chandrayaan-3 Mission:
On August 27, 2023, the Rover came across a 4-meter diameter crater positioned 3 meters ahead of its location.
The Rover was commanded to retrace the path.
It's now safely heading on a new path.

Really?? The truth is that, in large part, our poverty was a result of decades of colonial rule which systematically plundered the wealth of an entire subcontinent. Yet the most valuable possession we were robbed of was not the Kohinoor Diamond but our pride & belief in our own capabilities. Because the goal of colonisationโits most insidious impactโis to convince its victims of their inferiority. Which is why investing in BOTH toilets AND space exploration is not a contradiction. Sir, what going to the moon does for us is that it helps restore our pride & self-confidence. It creates belief in progress through science. It gives us the aspiration to lift ourselves out of poverty. The greatest poverty is the poverty of aspirationโฆ
A two-segment ramp facilitated the roll-down of the rover. A solar panel enabled the rover to generate power.
Here is how the rapid deployment of the ramp and solar panel took place, prior to the rolldown of the rover.
The deployment mechanisms, totalling 26 in the Ch-3 mission, were developed at U R Rao Satellite Centre (URSC)/ISRO, Bengaluru.
