More moon missions in the offing
Staff Reporter
SATHYAMANGALAM: Chandrayaan-I, Indian Space Research Organisation’s flagship programme, is only the beginning, and ISRO is looking at least three-four moon missions, including a manned one, and a mission to the Mars, Chandrayaan Project Director Mylswamy Annadurai said on Saturday.
Addressing students of the Bannari Amman Institute of Technology and a few other institutions here, he said the Moon Impact Probe, an idea of former President Abdul Kalam, was meant to study the moon’s surface.
The result would help to have a soft landing on the surface in future missions.
Chandrayaan-II would be a robotic mission to explore the possibility of using Helium-III, an isotope, in fusion reaction to produce electricity. Chandrayaan-III would seek to have a re-entry vehicle so that the country could bring whatever it wanted from the lunar surface.
