Chandrayaan-3 Successfully Completes Lunar Maneuver, Approaches Lander Module Separation

India's ambitious lunar mission, Chandrayaan-3, has achieved a significant milestone by successfully executing its lunar maneuver, marking progress towards the upcoming separation of the Vikram lander module.

Chandrayaan-3, the nation's third lunar expedition, has triumphantly concluded its lunar-bound maneuvers. Following a flawlessly executed firing on Wednesday, the spacecraft has been positioned in an orbital trajectory of 153 km by 163 km, as reported by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) via the microblogging platform X (formerly known as Twitter). The next pivotal step in this lunar journey is the planned detachment of the Lander module from the Propulsion module, scheduled for August 17, 2023.

Setting off from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota on July 14, Chandrayaan-3 embarked withthree primary objectives. It aimed to validate a secure landing on the moon's surface, showcase rover operations on lunar terrain, and execute in-situ scientific experiments on the lunar environment. The mission is composed of an indigenous Lander module (LM), a Propulsion Module (PM), and a Rover. Notably, the lander (Vikram) and rover payloads (Pragyan) retained the same specifications as those utilized in the Chandrayaan-2 mission.

The payloads aboard the lander are designed to scrutinize various aspects of the lunar environment, including the study of lunar quakes and the thermal characteristics of the moon. Simultaneously, the propulsion module will engage in a novel experiment called SHAPE (Spectro-polarimetry of Habitable Planet Earth), which aims to identify smaller habitable planets. This pursuit is conducted through the analysis of reflected light.

With the remarkable advancement of Chandrayaan-3, India is on the cusp of a monumental achievement - the successful soft landing on the moon's surface. Should this goal be realized, India will join an exclusive group of nations that have achieved this remarkable feat, including the United States, Russia, and China.

As of this report, India's aspirations for lunar exploration are advancing with precision, underscoring the nation's technological prowess and determination to expand its frontiers. The successful execution of Chandrayaan-3's intricate maneuvers heralds a promising step towards a historic landing and scientific exploration on the lunar landscape.

I’m trying to write a “quick” reference doc of in-universe common knowledge for the players in my ttrpg campaign but every time I sit down to edit, it expands by another 200 words. The section on orbital dynamics is now almost a full page. There should not be a section on orbital dynamics. Why do I have chronic terminal writer brain. H e l p

#the planet is in a much more elliptical orbit than earth so the seasons are driven as much by that as axial tilt #you get uneven season lengths #and the temperature variation between seasons is much more dramatic in one hemisphere than the other #there are a whole bunch of calendar systems #I explain the calendars in detail and give specific numbers #but the moon is small and orbits quickly so lunar calendars are uncommon #also the planet is closer to the sun than earth #just barely on the edge of the habitable zone #it’s toasty #the oceans are fucked #the only inhabited land is on polar continents #it’s bigger than earth too and dominated by oceans #I need to be stopped #ttrpg

I don’t like how canon’s going so I shall simply introduce you all to the alternative reality of the show that has lived in my head rent free since Lunar and Old Moon died.

Blood Moon and Harvest Moon are living as Sun’s cats. Sun doesn’t know this, Blood Moon and Harvest Moon are too busy getting spoiled and pampered and loved on to tell Sun, nor do they have the voice box to do so.

Old Moon separating from KC didn’t kill him but made a new AI, New Moon, that took over their body while Old Moon is just inactive because he thought he’d die and turned himself into a catatonic state in their head.

New Moon has no idea Old Moon is alive and neither does literally ANYONE else. Not even Old Moon knows he’s alive.

Eclipse does not get the star. After Sun tried to kill him, he went into hiding and became a better person so he could eventually show his family he’s changing so he doesn’t get another murder attempt for his head.

Solar Flare and Eclipse split eventually, Flare stays because he knows Eclipse is lonely and he’s trying to change and he appreciates this.

Flare also sneaks in and deletes the encrypted file he sent to Old Moon of the way to kill every one of Eclipse’s backups and Eclipse himself.

KC still goes off working at the soup kitchen and having tinder dates. But he’s grieving his children in assumptions that Sun has killed all three of them (four if he includes Flare, which he does).

Lunar doesn’t die because Eclipse doesn’t kill him. Lunar is the one to find Eclipse handing out food and blankets to homeless people and just yoinks him home and demands Lunar, Eclipse, and Flare play Uno together. Monty walks in on this and is completely shocked and confused.

Jigsaw comes in like a bat out of hell and does make a New Blood Moon. New BM almost instantaneously hates him and he tosses him off to the daycare so they get two new brothers, neat.

KC comes back once Sun and New Moon send word that he technically has two new kids. KC yoinks them, New BM gets to enjoy living the hippie life in a van in a forest with their dad. New BM gets renamed Zodiac and Horoscope so they can become their own people.

Jigsaw finds out Eclipse is alive. Somehow. He proceeds to scream and whine to Eclipse about how he wants a family and ‘how unfair it was that New BM got a family’.

Eclipse tells him to just reconcile with Moon and Sun. Jigsaw does this. And accidentally tells them that Eclipse is alive.

Sun and New Moon hunt down Eclipse and find him and Flare playing Scrabble. They do not kill him. They just call KC and KC’s camper van now resides in Lunar’s backyard. Lunar moves back into the daycare.

Lunar finally meets Sun’s cats and immediately points out that the cats are Blood Moon and Harvest Moon. Sun hands them over to New Moon to put into new bodies. KC gets another call. Sun gets two new cats. Blood Moon and Harvest Moon keep their cat ears and tails out of spite.

New Moon eventually feels Old Moon moving around in that head of theirs. KC is sent in as a volunteer for investigation. KC sighs and helps them separate New Moon into a new body so Old Moon has his body back. New Moon gets renamed Orbit.

Moon constantly jokes afterward that KC owes him six months of back child support for ‘their illegitimate son that they technically made together’, aka Orbit. KC always jokes back asking for joint custody or visitation. Orbit continues being an adorable boy and following in Moon’s footsteps.

Good Eclipse flees his dimension and becomes part of the main family. KC gets yet another call and yet another kid. KC can no longer fit his family in the camper van in the backyard. Everyone nicknames him Solar. Eclipse claims he, Jigsaw, and Solar are triplets.

The old twins and new twins have a show together. So do Eclipse, Solar and Jigsaw. Lunar’s show is with KC instead of Earth and jokingly gets called the Peepaw and Grandson Show.

The Apollo 12 Lunar Module Intrepid (LM-6) is photographed in lunar orbit from the Command and Service Modules Yankee Clipper (CSM-108), shortly after undocking.

"The coordinates of the center of the lunar surface shown in picture are 4.5 degrees west longitude and 7 degrees south latitude. The largest crater in the foreground is Ptolemaeus; and the second largest is Herschel. Aboard the LM were astronauts Charles Conrad Jr., commander; and Alan L. Bean, lunar module pilot. Astronaut Richard R. Gordon Jr., command module pilot, remained with the CSM in lunar orbit while Conrad and Bean descended in the LM to explore the surface of the moon."
