Is this an official confirmation of an RHU on Chandrayaan-3? Only looks like a slide on prospective tech.

ISRO needs a working RTG, if they are to operate more power consuming equipment on planetary bodies.

Here's the lunar reflection from the @ESA Kourou ground station on a session with #VikramLander. Amazing signal levels through my trees! Remember this is a reflection off the Moon and not a direct signal! This shows the international kinship in the mission.

Also, guys, can we stop focusing on the haters? Let's be more mature, and not overdose on schadenfreude.

Freakin John Cena. The only person I wish I wouldn't see is Prakash Raj.

What next? I'm guessing they'll wait for the moondust to settle and see if all of the instruments are in working order. I wonder when the Pragyan Rover will be released and take some cool photos. Fingers crossed for a complete successful mission life .

I literally almost crashed 15 minutes ago, I was driving so fast to get back home. Badhaaai ho badhaiiii🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺 :india::india::india::india: :india: :india2::india2::india2::india2::india2:

Haven't heard about any official news on an RTEG for Chandrayaan-4 ---- but 2 years back, there was an EOI from ISRO for a 100W RTEG(similar in class to the RTG onboard NASA's Curiosity Mars rover). Whereas, the JAXA brochure for their lunar program shows the LUPEX mission having an...

Scott Tilley was literally giving CY3 burn updates before ISRO. You can do that too, all you need is equipment for receiving in the S-Band - so if you have around 4-10 lakhs(probably higher) lying around go for it(I really don't know the legality of it in India though, so check beforehand:creepy:).

Situation naarmal

Luna 25 has crashed and Americans are being real assholes about it. Let's remember to not emulate them.

I'm guessing, majority of the mass is occupied by the RTG, ergo the long, 1 year mission duration.

Did a hack right before the Chandrayaan-2 launch caused the lander to crash?

Depends on how comprehensive the damage is. I think the rover itself was supposed to relay information through the lander. Regardless, the bulk of the experiments will be done by the orbiter and if the lander has indeed crashed terribly and if by some miracle is able to send some information...

Just have a look at the comments on the thread below the tweet. :pound::pound::pound::pound:

Bonus good news. GSLV Mk3 can now lift ~4 tons to GTO.

Final cryo stage shut off. Satellite released. Satellite confirms separation. :balleballe: Next, we'll meet on the 1st week of September.
