Isro gives first glimpse of Chandrayaan-3 lunarcraft; mission launch due in August

ISRO首次展示“月船3号”，计划于8月发射

NEW DELHI: Space agency Isro has shown the first glimpse of the country’s third lunar spacecraft Chandrayaan-3 in a documentary. Chandrayaan-3, which is in the assembly phase and is expected to be launched in August this year.

新德里：印度空间研究组织(Isro)在一部纪录片中首次展示了第三艘登月飞船“月船3号”。“月船3号”目前处于组装阶段，预计今年8月发射。

The photos of the moon mission were part of a documentary titled ‘Space on Wheels’ that Isro has posted on its website, which showcased 75 satellites launched by India as part of the ‘Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav’ celebrations.

这些照片是Isro网站上名为“车轮上的太空”的纪录片中展示的，该纪录片展示了印度发射的75颗卫星，这是“Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav”庆祝活动的一部分。

Isro chairman S Somnath has recently said that they are testing the propulsion system of the third lunar mission.

Isro主席S Somnath最近表示，他们正在测试第三次探月任务的推进系统。

The Isro documentary appears to show the lander of Chandrayaan-3 that will make India’s second attempt on moon-landing. The video also shows the ongoing work on India’s first manned space mission Gaganyaan, Venus orbiter mission and Indo-US joint venture project NISAR mission.

ISRO的纪录片展示了“月船3号”的着陆器，这是印度第二次尝试登月。视频还展示了印度首个载人航天任务Gaganyaan、金星轨道飞行器任务和印美合资项目NISAR任务正在进行的工作。

Chandrayaan-3, which was earlier scheduled for launch in late 2020, was delayed due to the Covid pandemic. The lunarcraft is a lander-specific mission and won’t have any orbiter as the first orbiter of Chandrayaan-2 is working satisfactorily. Chandrayaan-3 mission is significant as it will test Isro’s second attempt for landing on Moon and will pave the way for interplanetary missions.

原定于2020年末发射的“月船3号”因新冠肺炎疫情而推迟。该任务是一个特定的着陆器，不会有任何轨道器，因为“月船2号”的首个轨道器还在正常工作。“月船3号”任务意义重大，将测试Isro第二次登陆月球的尝试，并将为星际任务铺平道路。

Earlier Chandrayaan-2’s mission, which was launched on July 22, 2019, was only partially successful as the lander had crash-landed. However, the Chandrayaan-2 orbiter has been circling around the Moon at around 100 km altitude from the lunar surface since August 20, 2019 and taking images of the lunar surface and sending key data related to the Moon.

此前，月船2号于2019年7月22日发射，由于着陆器紧急着陆，只取得了部分成功。然而，自2019年8月20日以来，“月船2号”轨道器一直在距离月球表面约100公里的高度围绕月球旋转，拍摄月球表面的照片，并发送有关月球的关键数据。

ISRO、DRDO、印度理工学院、印度管理学院等是印度的支柱和骄傲，不像阿达尼、安巴尼

yes, isro drdo it iim etc are pillars, but please don't belittle our top world known industrialists. They are feeding lakhs and lakhs India families and foreigners by jobs, besides supporting health care, housing, education and several other needs.

是的，isro、drdo、iim等是支柱，但请不要贬低我们世界知名的实业家。除了支持医疗、住房、教育和其他需求，他们还为数十万印度家庭和外国人提供工作。

Missions like CHANDRAYAN and MANGALYAN are the ones that have made the WORLD TO LOOK AT US INDIANS WITH A LOT OF RESPECT !,And so we can walk into any country with our heads held high!,ISRO deserves a BHARAT RATNA for this!

像“月船”号和“MANGALYAN”号这样的任务让世界对我们印度人充满敬意，我们可以昂首阔步地走进任何国家

ISRO应该因此获得印度国家勋章

In India Slum and poverty are main issues till now, Govt should work on investment on those areas rather than space. people still awaiting for there basic needs."Roti Kapda Makan"

到目前为止，贫民窟和贫困是印度的主要问题，政府应该大力扶贫，而不是去探索太空。人们仍在等待基本需求得到满足。

Its cheaper to pay China or NASA to help make and launch a lunar lander painted with India flag for Indians vanity pride. Flying with SpaceX tourism is also much cheaper and instant than trying to send Indianaults up to stratosphere using ISRO.

请中国或美国宇航局帮忙发射印有印度国旗的月球着陆器，还更划算。与ISRO将印度宇航员送上平流层相比，利用SpaceX飞行更便宜，也更快捷。

Another expensive Indian Diwali fireworks to pollute the moon.

又是昂贵的“印度排灯节烟花”，污染月球。

Nature Truth

While India ranked worst in hunger index, human index, IP thief, outdoor defecating, education, healthcare, aveIQ, Grapes, poverty, pollution, ...its spending billions to dump rubbish on moon for its vanity pride, and spend 3rd most in war mongering at $76Bils.

印度在饥饿指数、人类指数、知识产权盗窃、户外排便、教育、医疗、平均智商、强奸、贫穷、污染等方面排名最差……为了虚荣，印度花费数十亿美元向月球上倾倒垃圾，在军事预算上花费760亿美元，位居全球第三。

Nature Truth

As long Russia Space has not make a successful lunar lander to sell India, ISRO will continue to dump rubbish onto moon calling them Chandrayaan-X. This is a country can't even make working rifle needs to license AK17.

只要俄罗斯航天局没有成功造出月球着陆器卖给印度，印度空间研究组织就会继续把垃圾扔到月球上，称之为“月船X”。印度是一个连步枪都造不出来的国家

ISRO should take proper precaution so that the mission remains successful.

All the best for Chandrayan 3 and this should be successful as Isro is more comfortable now

祝月船3号一切顺利，应该会成功，因为Isro的能力更强了

ISRO and Indians should have learned: publicity kills. Don't try to have India's commander in chief preside at the landing again, don't invite any Bhutanese students to impress them, and don't brag as much as India did in 2019 with whole world watching in awe, and celebrate after a soft landing, not before.

ISRO和印度人应该吸取教训，不让总理再次主持着陆，不要邀请任何学生参观，不要像印度在2019年那样吹嘘，全世界都在敬畏地看着，在软着陆后再庆祝，不要提前庆祝。
