Chandrayaan-3: China is extremely upset with India's success in touching the moon with Chandrayaan-3. China, which was till now silent on the success of ISRO scientists, has now told such a lie that only its neighboring country can believe. Not there. China's top scientist has claimed that India's Chandrayaan-3 has not landed on the South Pole of the Moon. The statement of the Chinese scientist has come at a time when scientists of the Indian Space Research Organization are trying to revive Chandrayaan-3's lander Vikram and rover Pragyan.

ISRO has written a new history by landing Chandrayaan-3 on the South Pole of the Moon. Countries around the world recognized India's growing dominance in the field of space research and appreciated the scientists, India achieved this success on August 23, ISRO had created a record by completing this 14-day mission in just 11 days. And had put its Vikram lander and Pragyan rover in sleep mode, so that it could be used again when morning comes on the moon. ISRO scientists are still trying to awaken it. Meanwhile, the claim of China's top scientist is not only shocking but is also a symbol of the dragon's bewilderment.

China has made this claim

Ouyang Jiyuan, who was the chief scientist of China's first Moon mission, has made this strange claim about Chandrayaan-3. According to a report in Science Times newspaper, Ouyang claims that the area of the Moon where Chandrayaan-3 has landed is There is no South Pole. Ouyang also claimed that there is actually no polar region where the Indian mission has landed. Their reasoning behind this is that the Moon's inclination is 1.5 degrees, that is why its South Pole area is very small. However, Ouyang's claim lacks substance because NASA, the space agency that has reached the Moon the most number of times so far, believes that the South Pole of the Moon is at an inclination of 80 to 90 degrees, i.e. about 10 degrees.

Hong Kong scientist criticized China

Hong Kong University scientist rejected China's top scientist's claim about Chandrayaan-3. Quentin Parker, director of the Space Research Laboratory, was quoted as saying in a report published in South China Morning that reaching the south pole of the moon is a major achievement, and landing a rover there is a moment of pride. Earlier, many space agencies including NASA, European Space Agency, Japan's JAXA have praised this success of India.

Vikram and Pragyan are in hibernation

Chandrayaan-3's lander Vikram and rover Pragyan are in hibernation mode on the surface of the moon, in simple words it is called winter sleep or dormancy, in fact the temperature at the south pole of the moon reaches -238 degrees at night, during the cold season. Just as many organisms go into hibernation, these two modules of Chandrayaan-3 have also reached the same state, ISRO scientists are continuously trying to establish contact with them, although they have not been successful yet.

The mission has been successful

The information that Chandrayaan-3 mission has provided to ISRO so far is more than expected. Recently this was confirmed by ISRO. Scientists of the Indian Space Agency had claimed that Lander Vikram and Rover Pragyan have sent a lot of information, efforts are being made to wake them up so that bonus information can be obtained.

Working Propulsion Module

ISRO had sent three modules to the Moon with Chandrayaan-3, the most important of which was the propulsion module, which separated from the lunar surface at some distance and is circling the Moon's orbit, it has been working continuously for about 55 days. . The payload accompanying it is Spectro-Polarimetry of Habitable Planet Earth, which is continuously working and sending information to ISRO. This payload is sending data to nearby exoplanets while rotating in the Moon's orbit, so that ISRO can do research about those exoplanets which are habitable like the Earth.
