The Chandrayaan-3 lander has successfully completed the crucial
EMI-EMC (Electro – Magnetic Interference/ Electro – Magnetic Compatibility)
test.
Key Highlights
Chandrayaan-3 is India’s third moon mission, It is a follow-on
mission to Chandrayaan-2.
The mission aims to demonstrate end-to-end capability in safe landing
and roving on the lunar surface.
The mission is slated to be launched by Launch Vehicle Mark 3
(LMV3) or GSLV Mk III from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre at Sriharikota.
Chandrayaan-3 interplanetary mission has three major modules: the
Propulsion module, Lander module, and Rover.
It will not include any orbiter like Chandrayaan 2.
The rover of this spacecraft will communicate to earth via an orbiter
taken from Chandrayaan 2.
The propulsion module will carry the lander and rover configuration till
100km lunar orbit.
The propulsion module has Spectro-polarimetry of HAbitable Planet
Earth (SHAPE) payload to study the spectral and polarimetric
measurements of Earth from lunar orbit.
This exploration will not limit to the surface but aim to study the
sub-surface and exosphere.
What is EMI-EMC Test?
The EMI-EMC test is conducted for satellite missions to ensure
the functionality of the satellite subsystems in the space environment and
their compatibility with the expected electromagnetic levels.
