Chadrayan 2 . a scientific adventure India has come of age in space science. The indigenous approach is to be appreciated. It is classic example of make in India. Our scientist are home grown not products of renowned foreign Institutions. They have shown that resolve, determination, focus and perseverance can achieve desired results. India has used space for peaceful purposes like education ,communication, resource search and space exploration and come along way with limited resources and optimum use
The interplanetary mission, Mangalyan was a success story at the very first attempt and which is a scientific feat. Chandrayan one had limited objectives andfirst to discover water molecules that raised expectations. Shooting down of satellites in orbit was a fantastic piece of technology, development of rockets , infrastructure for satellite launch, and multiple satellite releases have earned India exclusive ranking among space exploration Nations. We have also registered our presence at poles doing commendable research. India has set its next goals of sending astronauts into space building and training our own laboratory in space. The loss of Chandrayan 2 in its final stage of decent above 2-1km no doubt was disappointing. The loss of communication and its causes remain to be deciphered,.P.M showed interest by his presence and on its failure assured continued support, encouraged the Scientist for their achievements in spite of small failure. It is argued and rightly so that 95% of goals were achieved in various stages of race to the moon It was apprehended with caution the terror of 15 minutes in itsfinal decent. The tasking of lowering the velocity and soft landing were untested technologies, boldly attempted for the first time with confidence .The remarks by P.M are reassuring the scientific community of the break of new dawn with brighter tomorrow .The Nation too is proud of our scientists at this stage of their disappointment. They had planned for success, not failure but success eluded them. Risk in space exploration is inherent and many Nations had their fair share of failures. Failure is the greatest teacher of success and moving forward. It is understood that India prepared itself with shortest time period and at a fraction of costs involve led, Our scientist have proved that they are second to none in their maiden decision to soft land on the moon .The entire path and trajectory has been picture perfect, which proves the capability otf our scientists What perhaps was debatable is the unnecessary hype created that rexpetations and which could have been avoided in the final touch down and which was the main cause of heart burning disappointments India is competing with none but testing its own ability India and scientists of ISRO will not abandoned their determination to pursue their goals of interplanetary missions despite the current set back of disappointments. A whole new generations of scientists are eager to shoulder the responsibility in future .Fortunately a number of women in lead roles were at the heart of the mission that have inspired, motivated girls. Failures and success are part of life and any adventure, specially the Unknown, where India dared to go where no one had dreamt in the past The results would have aided future missions to the poles, where the temperatures are at -217 degrees and hope of water is a great possibility The scientist and all concerned with Chandrayan 2 need to be saluted in their hour of distress. The orbiter is expected to be in service for two years and a lot of useful information will be beamed back to earth. The mystery of loss of signal and what caused the soft landing will be unearthed soon as everyone is eagerly awaiting the truth and analysis Nelson Lopes Chinchinim
