Chandrayaan 3 Landing Updates: After a 40-day journey starting from the Sathish Dhawan Space Center in Sriharikota, the Indian Space Research Organisation’s (ISRO) Chandrayaan-3 mission has landed successfully. The Chandrayaan 3's Vikram lander should made a soft lunar landing at 6.04 PM IST on August 23. #Chandrayaan3 #Chandrayaan3Update #Chandrayaan3Landing #Chandrayaan #chandrayaan3live #chandrayaan3landing #chandrayaanlive #chandrayaan #chandrayaan3update #isroupdate #isrolive #isro #chandrayaan3 #luna25 #chandrayaanlive #chandrayaan3mission #chandrayaanlanding #chandrayaan3landing #chandrayaan2 chandrayaan 3 update,chandrayaan 3,chandrayaan 3 live update,chandrayaan,chandrayaan 3 latest news,chandrayaan 3 news,isro live chandrayaan 3,chandrayaan 3 landing,chandrayaan 3 landing video,chandrayaan 3 landing on moon,isro chandrayaan 3,isro news,isro,chandrayaan landing video,chandrayaan landing,indian express,chandrayaan 3 live,chandrayaan 3 landing live,chandrayaan 2,pm modi chandrayaan 3,chandrayaan 3 live isro,chandrayaan 3 status,moon landing

We’re testing a new way of landing on Mars… by crashing into its surface. The Simplified High Impact Energy Landing Device (SHIELD) is a lander concept being tested at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL). It could one day provide a new way for low-cost missions to land on Mars. Rather than rely on parachutes or retrorockets, SHIELD would include a collapsible, accordion-like base to absorb the energy of a landing. A full-size prototype of the base was tested on Aug. 12, 2022. The prototype was hurled at the ground from the top of a nearly 90-foot-tall (27-meter-tall) drop tower at JPL. A steel plate ensured the impact was even harder than what would be experienced on Mars. The design worked: After crushing against the steel plate at 110 mph (177 kph), several electronic components inside the SHIELD prototype, including a smartphone, survived the impact.

Before Jessica Watkins was an astronaut, she was a geologist. Now working on the International Space Station, Jessica and her fellow astronauts are preparing to explore the Moon and beyond. But collecting and investigating rocks on other worlds is very different from digging dirt here on Earth. That’s where tools engineer Adam Naids comes in. Tools designed for Earth geologists may not work in the lower gravity and extreme temperatures of the Moon, and that’s before you bring in the bulky spacesuits! NASA Explorers come together at space school to train astronauts to conduct science on the Moon.
