in Sanskrit, had been &#8220;successfully inserted into the lunar orbit&#8221;, more than three weeks after its launch.<\/p>\n<p>If the rest of the current mission goes to plan, the mission will safely touch down near the moon&#8217;s little-explored south pole between August 23 and 24.<\/p>\n<p>India&#8217;s last attempt to do so ended in failure four years ago, when ground control lost contact moments before landing.<\/p>\n<p>Developed by ISRO, Chandrayaan-3 includes a lander module named Vikram, which means &#8220;valor&#8221; in Sanskrit, and a rover named Pragyan, the Sanskrit word for wisdom.<\/p>\n<p>The mission comes with a price tag of $74.6 million\u2014far smaller than those of other countries, and a testament to India&#8217;s frugal space engineering.<\/p>\n<p>Experts say India can keep costs low by copying and adapting existing space <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/technology\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"4\" title=\"Technology\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">technology<\/a>, and thanks to an abundance of highly skilled engineers who earn a fraction of their foreign counterparts&#8217;

Saturn V and instead the probe orbited the earth five or six times elliptically to gain speed, before being sent on a month-long lunar trajectory.<\/p>\n<p>If the landing is successful the rover will roll off Vikram and explore the nearby lunar area, gathering images to be sent back to Earth for analysis.<\/p>\n<p>The rover has a mission life of one lunar day or 14 Earth days.<\/p>\n<p>ISRO chief S. Somanath has said his engineers carefully studied data from the last failed mission and tried their best to fix the glitches.<\/p>\n<p>India&#8217;s space program has grown considerably in size and momentum since it first sent a probe to orbit the moon in 2008.<\/p>\n<p>In 2014, it became the first Asian nation to put a satellite into orbit around Mars, and three years later, the ISRO launched 104 satellites in a single mission.<\/p>\n<p>The ISRO&#8217;s Gaganyaan (&#8220;Skycraft&#8221;) program is slated to launch a three-day manned mission into Earth&#8217;s orbit by next year.<\/p>\n<p>India is also working to boost its two percent share of the global commercial space market by sending private payloads into orbit for a fraction of the cost of competitors.<\/p>\n<p class=\"article-main__note mt-4\">\n                                                  \u00a9 2023 AFP<\/p>\n<p>                                        <!-- print only --><\/p>\n<div class=\"d-none d-print-block\">\n<p>                                                <strong>Citation<\/strong>:<br \/>\n                                                Indian lunar landing mission enters moon&#8217;s orbit (2023, August 5)<br \/>\n                                                retrieved 5 August 2023<br \/>\n                                                from https:\/\/phys.org\/<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/news\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"2\" title=\"News\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">news<\/a>\/2023-08-indian-lunar-mission-moon-orbit.html<\/p>\n<p>                                             This document is subject to copyright.
