On 22nd July 2019, Chandrayaan-2 was launched into space and was embedded into lunar orbit exactly of the moon exactly on August 20 2019.
India’s moon mission of Chandrayaan 2 has successfully completed one year in moon’s orbit on 20th August. As per ISRO, all instruments, at present, are performing great and there is satisfactory amount locally available fuel to keep it operational for around seven additional years.
On 22nd July 2019, Chandrayaan-2 was launched into space and was embedded into lunar orbit exactly of the moon exactly on August 20 2019.
In a statement, ISRO said "Though the soft-landing attempt (of the lander carrying the rover) was not successful, the orbiter, which was equipped with eight scientific instruments, was successfully placed in the lunar orbit. The orbiter completed more than 4,400 orbits around the Moon and all the instruments are currently performing well."
It was clarified by Indian space agency that the spacecraft has not encountered any technical issues and is in solid state.
The Space agency further added "The orbiter is being maintained in 100 +/- 25km polar orbit with periodic orbit maintenance (OM) manoeuvres. So far, 17 OMs are carried out since achieving 100km lunar orbit on September 24, 2019. There is adequate onboard fuel to remain operational for about seven years. The anticipated long life of this orbiter can contribute much to the current resurgence of interest among the global scientific community for a sustained presence on the Moon.
Chandrayaan 2 has contributed massively towards learning and studying of the external atmosphere of the Moon.
The space shuttle was propelled to additionally extend the information about the moon through a nitty gritty investigation of its geography, mineralogy, surface substance structure, thermo-physical qualities and environment which prompts towards a superior comprehension of the advancement of the moon.
