India likely to land on Moon on September 6

印度或于9月6日登月

BENGALURU/NEW DELHI: Indian Space Research Organisation (Isro) on Wednesday said it is looking to launch Chandrayaan-2, India’s second lunar mission in the launch window between July 9 and July 16, even as sources said that a lot of work is still pending in taking the project to the launch site.

班加罗尔/新德里: 周三，印度空间研究组织(Isro)表示，计划在7月9日至7月16日期间发射“月船2号”，这是印度的第二次探月任务。尽管有消息称，仍有大量工作有待完成。

“All the modules are getting ready for Chandrayaan-2 launch during the window of July 09, to July 16, 2019, with an expected Moon landing on September 06, 2019 9 (sic),” Isro said in a statement.

ISRO在一份声明中表示:““月船2号”的所有模块都将准备完毕，发射窗口为2019年7月9日至2019年7月16日期间，预计将于2019年9月6日在月球着陆。”

Chandrayaan-2 has three modules: the orbiter, lander (Vikram) & rover (Pragyan). “The orbiter and lander modules will be interfaced mechanically and stacked together as an integrated module and accommodated inside the GSLV MK-III launch vehicle. The rover is housed inside the lander,” Isro said.

“月船2号”有三个模块:轨道器，着陆器(Vikram号)和月球车(Pragyan号)。轨道飞行器和着陆器模块连接在一起，作为一个集成模块堆叠在一起，并安置在GSLV MK-III运载火箭内。月球车则安置在着陆器内。

Once Chandrayaan-2 reaches the lunar orbit, Vikram will separate from the orbiter and soft-land at the predetermined site close to the south pole, which had not been explored by other countries.

一旦“月船2号”进入月球轨道，“Vikram号”将与“月船2号”分离，并在靠近南极的预定地点软着陆，这是其他国家尚未探索过的区域。

Isro chairman K Sivan told TOI, “Once Vikram lands on the lunar surface on September 6, rover Prayan will come out of it and roll out on the lunar surface for 300-400 metres. It will spend 14 earth days on the moon for carrying out different scientific experiments. Altogether, there will be 13 payloads in the spacecraft. Three payloads in rover Pragyan and the other 10 payloads in lander Vikram and orbiter." The rover will analyse the content of the lunar surface and send data and images back to the Earth through the orbiter within 15 minutes, he said.

ISRO主席K Sivan告诉印度时报：“一旦“Vikram号”在9月6日登陆月球表面，‘Pragyan号’月球车就会从“Vikram号”中驶出，并在月球表面行驶300-400米。它将在月球上停留14天，进行不同的科学实验。“月船2号”总共有13个有效载荷。其中三个有效载荷在‘Pragyan号’月球车上，另外10个有效载荷在“Vikram号”着陆器和轨道飞行器上。”月球车将分析月球表面的物质，并在15分钟内通过轨道器向地球发回数据和图像。

The launch of India’s second lunar mission was initially planned in April last year but Isro kept deferring it because of the complexties involved in the mission. India had also almost lost the race to Israel to become the fourth country in the world after Russia, US and to land the spacecraft on the moon. However with Israel’s Beresheet failing to land on the moon on April 12 this year, Chandrayaan-2’s moon-landing on September 6, if successful, will make India the fourth country in the world to land on the moon.

印度第二次探月任务最初计划在去年4月发射，但由于任务的复杂性一直推迟发射。在成为继俄罗斯、美国和之后世界上第四个登月国家竞赛中，印度也差点输给以色列。然而，由于以色列的月球探测器未能在今年4月12日登陆月球，9月6日“月船2号”的成功登陆将使印度成为全球第四个登上月球的国家。

India had first launched its moon mission Chandrayaan-1, which involved only an orbiter, on October 22, 2008. The spacecraft made more than 3,400 orbits around the moon during which it took hundreds of images of the moon. The Rs 386-crore mission concluded when the communication with the spacecraft was lost on August 29, 2009. Chandrayaan operated for 312 days as opposed to the intended two years but the mission achieved 95% of its planned objectives.

2008年10月22日，印度首次发射了“月船一号”。该探测器围绕月球运行了3400多圈，期间拍摄了数百张月球照片。在2009年8月29日与其失去联系后耗资38.6亿卢比卢比的探月任务就此结束。“月船一号”运行了312天，而不是原定的两年，但完成了计划目标的95%。

All praise goes to ISRO SCIENTISTS . Politicians who are ordinary people do not deserve any credit.except facilitating scientists to do their jobs. Politicians cant talk about Moon or Mars they are unable to seepit holes on the roads of India.

ISRO的科学家们才值得赞扬。政客不值得夸，为科学工作提供帮助的政客可以夸一夸。那些政客无视印度道路上的坑洞，他们没资格谈论月球，也没资格谈论火星。

Many other countries find it worthless. But India, a poor slave nation whose 70% population still SHlT out in the open air, hosts more hungry people than rest of the world does together, want to prove something! Not most of the rich, civilized and capable acountries do care this sort of nonsense but taking care of the well being of their people.

很多国家认为登月毫无价值。印度是一个贫穷的奴隶国家，70%的人口仍露天排便，挨饿的人口比其他国家加起来还要多，这是想要证明些什么!
