Chandrayaan-2 : Updates

[Gautam]

It seems there is some possibility still left of re-establishing connection with the lander. Pray pray keep praying.

 

[vstol Jockey]

It did not , there is the predicted trajectory and a permissable margin of deviation from the same. The lander was within the permissible limits infact close to predicted trajectory.

Most probably the landing producing some hiccups

You are correct. Lander was programmed to alter its landing position based on surface data to chose the exact landing spot.

Lets hope and wait for offcial statement , anyways orbiter is working , not all is lost.

if it has not crash landed, re-establishing communication could be possible. I wonder if the engine shut down prematurely at 2 KM Alt.

 

[Schwifty]

Let's hope for the best.

 

[vstol Jockey]

did the lunar dust create problems?

Possible and very likely.

 

[vstol Jockey]

Possible and very likely.

Actually the third engine, the center one was supposed to cut in for final soft landing. may bge it failed to come alive.

At 2 KM Alt lunar dust should not have mattered........

it will. moon has very low G force of its own. Dust will fly higher than earth.

 

[vstol Jockey]

The orbiter has cams and was supposed to track the final descent of lander. It will send the pics of the final landing site of Lander and we will know about what happened to Lander.

The problem was always going to be those engines. Unfortunate that it had to end like this.

At 2 KM Alt lunar dust should not have mattered........

Dust comes into play at less than 400 metres alt.

Lets just wait for official update. It should be out by tomorrow.
Anyway its late. I am going to bed. Good night guys.

 

[Deathstar]

Only hope is orbiter sending pics

 

[S. A. T. A]

I’m getting concerned with the coverage as if this is done deal. Even the highly conservative ndtv is gushing. We should get ourselves a reality check that things can go very bad...and that’s ok.

You were right after all my friend.

 

[hellbent]

Comms cut off at 1.8 km does not indicate crash
Rather it indicates possible component failure where higher than anticipated g force and assorted stress and strain must have effected the comms.

Apparently this is the a&#%@ who was shouting at the ISRO official during press Conference. NDTV are the biggest cunts in this country.

 

[screambowl]

Lander deviated from path..


lag gayiiiii bc ...

I am joking

I just have to remove that joking part now! Not a big failure we will do it next time!

The camera on the orbiter has a high resolution of around 30 cm.. Should be able to pick up something of the lander.. hopefully...
