Question 10: Read the passage and answer the question.
Despite a setback caused by the Covid 19 pandemic and schedules being affected, the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) has continued to slowly pursue its two ambitious missions– the Ganganyan and Chandrayan-3. Even as officials had said that the staffers were working from home through the lockdown, several had started reading to their workspaces through the lockdown.
Using the payload on Chandrayaan-2 orbiter, which has three optical heads, the space agency has a greater resolution and a stereo view of the moon. The image data will also help them decide and fine tune the point of touchdown of the lander. Since the Chandrayaan-2 orbiter is working to capacity, the upcoming mission will only have a lander and rover which will be taken to the moon by a propulsion module.
The chances of success at Chandrayaan-3 are being increased with the space agency using the robust data acquired by Chandrayaan-2 orbiter. Director of Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre S Somanth recently iterated that the Human spaceflight programme was significant. Drawing a comparison with other countries like the USA, he said Human Space Travel is a capacity we need to create even under stress as the capability will be essential for the future.
