ISRO establishes communication link with moon lander
India’s moon lander part of the Chandrayaan-3 mission safely landed on the lunar surface on Wednesday.“The communication link is established between the Chandrayaan-3 Lander and MOX-ISTRAC, Bengaluru, ISRO said.The Chandrayaan-3 spacecraft comprises a propulsion module (weighing 2,148 kg), a lander (1,723.89 kg) and a rover (26 kg).The primary communication channel will be the Mission Operations Complex at ISRO Telemetry, Tracking and Command Network (ISTRAC), Bengaluru, to Chandrayaan-3 Propulsion Module which in turn would talk to the lander and the rover.Earlier, ISRO had said the moon lander had established communication links with the Chandrayaan-2 mission’s orbiter that is circling the moon since 2019.The space agency also said the Mission Operations Complex now has more routes to communicate with the lander.In other words, the Chandrayaan-2 Orbiter will be the backup communication channel for ISRO with the lander.--IANSvj/arm
