Chandrayaan 2: HRD encourages students to take up courses in aerospace engineering
New Delhi: Lauding the successful launch of Chandrayaan-2, the HRD Ministry on Monday encouraged students to take up careers in aerospace engineering and said its ‘Swayam’ portal will offer online courses on the subject from July 29.
The courses being offered on the portal include the 12-week ‘Aircraft stability and control’ course and the ‘Design of fixed wing unmanned aerial vehicles’ course of eight weeks. Both the courses will be conducted by the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Kanpur.

China offers to jointly explore Moon with India, hails successful Chandrayaan-2 mission launch

Just a day after India successfully launched its Chandrayaan-2 Moon mission, Beijing says it is ready to team up with New Delhi to explore Earth’s natural satellite, possibly offering a way to mend ties with its rival neighbor. China welcomes the start of India’s flagship Chandrayaan-2 mission, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Hua Chungying told a press briefing in Beijing. “We are ready to join forces with India and other countries to carry out lunar explorations,”Chungying said, adding that it is “a shared mission of humankind” to find out more about the Moon and beyond.


That aside, there were other indications that the Indian launch was met with praise in China. Wu Weiren, chief of China’s lunar exploration program, wished India’s Moon landing success “despite previous delays,” according to the Global Times. International efforts to explore the Moon will also motivate China to move forward, but its own space program doesn’t mean that Beijing is going to “compete with anyone over the matter,” Wu said. On Monday, India’s second lunar mission successfully blasted off from the Sriharikota space station, garnering applause from scientists in the control room and other onlookers. The spacecraft has already entered Earth’s orbit, where it will stay for three weeks before it starts maneuvering towards the Moon. If all goes as planned, India will become the fourth country to make a safe landing on the Moon’s surface. So far, only the USSR, the US and China have been able to do so. Chandrayaan-2 is set to gather data and images from the Moon’s little-explored South Pole. China’s own mission, the Chang’e-4, successfully touched down in the South Pole-Aitken basin in January. It explores the region’s geology, conducts biological experiments, and captures images which are relayed back to Earth.If China and India team up to explore the Moon it would provide an opening for the two powers to repair ties damaged during a long-running geopolitical rivalry. Both countries have unresolved border disputes that saw them engage in occasional skirmishes along their 3,500km-long (2,175 miles) frontier.

Welllllllll,

The chinks have spooked...
I'd say mission accomplished.

Chandrayaan-3 is in the pipeline?


Is ISRO eyeing third lunar mission?


After the launch of Chandrayaan-2, the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) is getting ready for another lunar mission — Chandrayaan-3. Chandrayaan-3 will not only land on the Moon but will bring soil and rock samples back from the lunar polar region. Japan could be a part of the mission. A decision on Chandrayaan-3 will be held after reviewing the results of the experiments carried out by the lander and rover of Chandrayaan-2.

According to preliminary discussions, the mission will be carried out by the ISRO in five years in association with Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA). The next shot at Moon is planned to bring soil and rocks from the South Pole of the Moon and study them. The present technology is inadequate to bring samples from the Moon.

India’s lunar mission comes at a time when the US, Russia and China are getting ready for continuing their research studies and missions to the Moon. India launched its second moon mission Chandrayaan-2 on Monday. The mission seeks to explore the uncharted lunar south pole.

After Chandrayaan-2, is India planning a third moon trip with Japan?

The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) has initiated talks on the nation's third moon shot in partnership with Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA), as indications show.
After the Chandrayaan-2 mission launch on Monday, is another lunar journey in the offing around 2024 to bring soil and rock samples back from the South Pole of the Moon?
The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) has initiated talks on this with Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA), as indications show.
We first heard about Chandrayaan-3 from the then chiefs of ISRO and JAXA in November 2017 during the Asia Pacific Regional Space Agency Forum APRSAF-24 held in Bengaluru.
Two inter-governmental discussions during the Prime Minister's visit, in March this year and October 2018, also mentioned a 'joint lunar polar exploration mission'.
Plans for an Indo-Japan lunar mission were in early stages and the initial studies and tasks of the two agencies were being worked out, the then ISRO Chairman and Secretary, Department of Space (DoS), A.S. Kiran Kumar; and JAXA president Naoki Okumura said almost two years back. The two space-faring countries are friends but have had little space talk together so far.
ISRO should send a third lunar trip, once it completes the crewed space mission ‘Gaganyaan’ in 2022, Chaitanya Giri, fellow, Space and Ocean Studies Programme of Gateway House (Mumbai international relations think tank), told The Hindu.
“[Chandrayaan-2] is a precursor of Chandrayaan-3, which is scheduled to make a sample return mission in 2023-2024,” said Dr. Giri, who has been part of the European Space Agency's Rosetta mission to a comet and worked in the area in the U.S. and Japan.
India, which has set out to pioneer explorations in the Moon's South Pole, should not get left behind in the global space race. In the next 4-5 years alone, major space-faring nations are planning to send at least seven missions to the lunar South Pole. There would be big dividends from that region, from mining to habitation, he said.
Dr. Giri observed that the U.S. was returning to the Moon around 2024 with crewed Artemis flybys and landers. Russia had lined up Luna 25 and 26 to pave the way for a future robotic habitat. China, which recently landed Chang'e-4 on the Moon's far side that is always turned away from the Earth, has lined up Chang'e-5 late this year or next year to bring samples back from the South Pole, and may also send two followons. Chang'e-5 is said to be the first lunar sample return mission being attempted since 1976.
The ISRO should take up speedy construction of Chandrayaan-3 and develop a `public-private ecosystem of space capabilities', he said. In his view, the DoS must stop depending solely on ISRO and increasingly involve public and private sector entities, universities, start-ups and research labs to get this and other scientific projects quickly off the mark.

Why not partner with cheen and roos when chandrayaan 2 lands on south pole by sharing data with them first. It will be fun burning ass of Trump and their hawks who mentioned Kashmir.:biggrin2:

To be blunt,he doesn't care about foreign relations and its repercussions.

He is an isolationist, all he wants to be hugged and to be praised.

He has been slashing nasa budget left and right,

Lets not disturb this thread,any further
---------------------------------------------------------------


At this point,Jaxa is a good option for isro compared with other agencies for collaboration.

I admired their hayabusa1& 2 missions,which will be tremendously helpful, if we decided to proceed with chandrayan 3.(Especially with sample collection and recovering the sample)
