Chandrayaan-1
Definition
- Chandrayaan-1, the first Indian mission to Moon, was designed to carry out high resolution remote sensing studies of the Moon to further our understanding about its origin and evolution. Chandrayaan-1 was launched on October 22, 2008 by PSLV-C11 at 00:52 UT from SDSC, SHAR. The lift-off and dry mass break-up is as follows: Lift-off mass : 1380 kg Dry mass : 560 kg Propellant mass : 818.2 kg Pressurant mass : 2.84 kg The launch of the spacecraft was planned such that the Moon is at one of its nodes when the Spacecraft arrives there. In order to have multiple launch opportunities every month and to contain burn errors, the phasing loop strategy with multiple loops and five Earth bound maneuvers is adopted. (en)
