Chandrayaan-I-mission yenyanga engu-3 izokhombisa ”ukufika kwenyanga okuthambile” ikhono le ISRO. Lo msebenzi uzophinde ubonise inyanga ukuzulazula nokwenza izivivinyo zesayensi ze-in-situ. Imishini iyisitebhisi esibheke Idatha ye-ISRO Ngokuzayo phakathi kwamaplanethi ohambweni.
I-India isikhala isisebenzeli i-ISRO sethule ngempumelelo Chandrayaan-3 kusuka ku-SHAR Center kuya isikhala namuhla ziyi-14 kuJulayi 2023.
Ngemuva kwamaviki e-Earth-bound maneuvers (EBNs), isilandi sizofakwa kukho inyanga i-orbit okuzolandelwa imizuliswano eminingana ye i-orbital ukulungiswa. Umhlali kulindeleke ukuthi athambe enyangeni ngokuphepha ngomhla ka-23 Agasti 2023.
The ozungeza emkhathini yemishini yangaphambilini ye-Chandrayaan-2 yenyanga isasebenza lapho umsebenzi we-Chandrayaan-3 uzowusebenzisa futhi ufeze umgomo obalulekile "wokuhlala kancane" inyanga indawo umkhankaso we-Chandrayaan-2 ehlulekile ukuyifinyelela njengoba umnikazi wendawo u-Vikram ephahlazekile inyanga ebusweni ngenxa ye-snag yobuchwepheshe.
Ngaphezu kokubonisa ukuhlala okuphephile nokuthambile inyanga ngaphezulu, ukuthunyelwa kwenyanga ye-Chandrayaan-3 nakho kuzobonisa inyanga ukuzulazula nokwenza izivivinyo zesayensi ze-in-situ. Lawa makhono ayezokhonjiswa umgomo we-ISRO wangaphambili ngakho-ke lo mgomo uwumsebenzi wokubonisa ubuchwepheshe “wokufikela okuthambile”.
Kodwa-ke, i-Chandrayaan-3 moon mission ihlukile endaweni yayo yokuqala (69.367621 S, 32.348126 E) itholakala esifundeni esiseningizimu. Ngokungafani nezindawo zamagugu ezitholakala ku- inyanga izindawo zenkabazwe, indawo okufikela kuyo le mishini isezindaweni eziphakeme eziseningizimu yenyanga.
Ikhono lokuhlala eliphephile nelithambile liwubuchwepheshe obubaluleke kakhulu bokuhlola kanye nokwenza amakholoni esikhathini esizayo isikhala ekujuleni isikhala indawo yokuhlala yabantu. Njengoba ngikwazi kahle lobu buchwepheshe emashumini ambalwa eminyaka edlule ngokusebenzisa i-Appollo mission, NASA manje sekumele iqale izifiso zayo I-Artemis Moon Mission yakhelwe hhayi kuphela ukudala ubukhona bomuntu besikhathi eside eNyangeni nasezindaweni ezizungezile kodwa futhi nokufunda izifundo zokulungiselela imisebenzi yabantu kanye nezindawo zokuhlala Mashi. Okujulile isikhala ukuhlala kwabantu, okwenza abantu babe yinqwaba planet izinhlobo zezilwane ukuvimba ingozi yokushabalala kuseyiphupho elikude kakhulu nokho kuyaqalwa. I-India's Moon Mission kufanele ibhekwe kulo mongo njengesitebhisi esibheke ekusaseni le-ISRO phakathi kwamaplanethi ohambweni.
Uma umenzi we-Chandrayaan-3 ehlala ngokuphephile ethambile inyanga ngenyanga ezayo, i-India izoba izwe lesine (ngemuva kwe-USA, iRussia njengendlalifa ye-USSR yangaphambili ne-China) isikhala Ubuchwepheshe.
Bobabili i-China ne-India baqala inkambo yabo inyanga izinhlelo ngesikhathi esifanayo ngo-2007-08. IsiShayina I-Lunar Uhlelo lwaqala ngo-2007 ngokwethula ngempumelelo i-Chang'e 1 ngenkathi uhlelo lwase-India lwe-Chandrayaan luqala ngo-2008 nge-Chandrayyan-1 eyimpumelelo. I-China ikhombise ukukwazi ukuhlalisa okuthambile ngomkhankaso wayo wenyanga we-Chang'e 3 ngo-2013 ngenkathi i-India ingeyesibili inyanga Inhloso yokuhlola i-Chandrayaan-2 yethulwa ngonyaka ka-2019 ngemuva kwegebe leminyaka eyi-11 ngemuva kwe-Chandrayaan-1. Okwesithathu I-Lunar Injongo ye-Chandrayaan-3 ihlose ukuzuza amandla okufika enyangeni.
Umsebenzi wokugcina wenyanga waseChina u-Chang'e 5 ka-2020 ubonise isampula yekhono lokubuyisela. I-China njengamanje iphezu kwezinhlelo zokwethula i-crewed moon mission.
