All you need to know about Chandrayaan-2

Chandrayaan-2 moon mission is totally an indigenous mission which will land on Moon after 48 days. Earlier Chandryaan-2 was decided to launch on 15 July, 2019 but due to some technical problem it was delayed. Chandrayaan-2 is now ready to launch from GSLV-Mk-III rocket. No doubt the Chandrayaan-2 mission comes nearly 11 years after India's first expedition to the moon in October 2008. Therefore, space agency said it is better to be delayed rather than any complications.


It is one of the biggest project till date. The journey of Chandrayaan-2 is around 3.84 lakh km to Moon. It will be injected into an earth parking 170 x40400 km orbit. The weight of Chandrayaan-2 spacecraft is approximately 3850 kilograms. It will collect data on water, minerals and formations of rock.

 Chandrayaan-2 spacecraft have three modules a Lander (Vikram), an Orbiter and Rover (Pragyan).

The primary objective of ISRO to launch Chandrayaan-2 is to demonstrate the ability to soft-land on the lunar surface and operate a robotic rover on the surface. Scientific goals are to study lunar topography, mineralogy, elemental abundance, the lunar exosphere and signatures of hydroxyl and water ice.
Chandrayaan-2 landing near the Pole
The Lander and Rover of Chandrayaan-2 are targeted for a location of about 600 kilometres or 375 miles approx from the South Pole. Let us tell you that it would be the first time any mission touched down so far from the equator. The Orbiter and Lander modules will be mechanically interfaced and stacked together like an integrated module and accommodated inside the GSLV MK-III launch vehicle where as the Rover is housed inside the Lander.
After launching, the integrated module will reach the Moon orbit by using the Orbiter propulsion module. Then, Lander will automatically separate from the Orbiter and land at the site close to lunar South Pole.

Breakdown of entire payload of Chandrayaan-2

1. Rover also known as Pragyan will have two instruments on board. On the surface of the Moon the instrument will test the mineral and chemical compositions and also about soil and rocks formation. Data on and around the South Pole will be collected and sent. That is it will send information from the moon to Vikram Lander. Lander will send data to Orbiter. Then the Orbiter will send it to the ISRO centre. This whole process will take about 15 minutes. So, it can be said that information sent from Pragyan Robot will take about 15 minutes to reach the ISROcentre in India.


2. Lander also known as Vikram. ISRO has named Lander after the founder of ISRO and the father of Indian Space Program Vikram Sarabhai. The five-legged lander will have three instruments onboard. They are the Radio Anatomy of Moon-Bound Hypersensitive Ionosphere and an Atmosphere Probe (Rambha) that will measure the density of the lunar sub surface and changes around it. Further, the Chandra Surface Thermophysical Experiment (ChaSTE) will be used to measure the thermal temperature around the South Pole of the moon. And thirdly, is the instrument for Lunar Seismic Activity (ILSA) which will measure the seismicity or quake or tremor-potential of the region.


It will use scientifically for 15 days. Its initial design was made by ISRO's Space Application Centre Ahmedabad. Later, it was developed by the URSC of Bengaluru. ISRO has made an indigenous Lander on Russia's refusal.

3. Orbiter of Chandrayaan-2 will be installed at 100 km above the moon and consists of eight instruments. Specifications of these instruments are not provided that will be loaded on to the rocket. But there will be an Imaging Infra-red Spectometer (IIRS) which will try to identify minerals and indicators of hydroxyl and water molecules. It will operate on solar power. It will be circling the information from Lander and Rover to the ISRO Centre. It will also bring the command sent from ISRO to the lander and the rover. It was generated by Hindustan Aeronautics Limited and handed it to ISRO in 2015.


The profile of the Mission

As discussed above Chandrayaan-2 begin its journey to Moon on 22 July, 2019. The Lander-Orbiter pair will go into an initial elliptical (180 X 24000 km altitude) Earth orbit, followed by a trans-lunar injection. Both will go into an initial elliptical lunar orbit. After orbit insertion, the Lander and the Orbiter separate. The Orbiter evolves into a 100 km circular polar orbit and the Lander breaks from orbit and lands on the surface in the high latitude areas near the South Pole. The Orbiter portion of the mission is planned to last 1 year. The rover will be deployed using a ramp shortly after the landing and is planned for 14-15 days that is one period of lunar daylight.

Note: India's first lunar probe was Chandrayaan-1 mission which was launched in October 2008. The mission included a lunar orbiter and an impactor but did not have a rover like Chandrayaan-2.

Election Commission of India

Election Commission of India

The constitution under article 324 provides for an Election Commission, the apex body, which conducts elections in India in a free and fair manner to ensure people’s participation in the election process. The Election Commission of India is an autonomous, established federal authority responsible for administering all the electoral processes in the Republic of India. Under the supervision of the commission, free and fair elections have been held in India at regular intervals as per the principles enshrined in the Constitution.

 

 

Election commission of India:

The constitution under article 324 provides for an Election Commission for the superintendence, direction and control of the preparation of the electoral rolls for the conduct of elections to parliament, state legislatures and to the offices of president and vice president. Thus, the Election Commission is responsible for both the centre’s and the states’ elections.

Composition Election commission of India:

The constitution provides for the following provisions in relation to the composition of the election commission:

 

1 The election commission shall consist of the chief election commissioner and such number of other election commissioners, if any, as the president may from time to time fix.
2. The appointment of the chief election commissioner and other election commissioners shall be made by the president.
3. When any other election commissioner is so appointed the chief election commissioner shall act as the chairman of the election commission.
4. The president may also appoint after consultation with the election commission such regional commissioners as he may consider necessary to assist the election commission.
5. The conditions of service and tenure of office of the election commissioners and the regional commissioners shall be such as the president may by rule determine.

 

Though the chief election commissioner is the chairman of the election commission, however his powers are equal to the other election commissioners. All the matters in the commission are decided by the majority amongst its members. The chief election commissioner and the two other election commissioners receive equal salary, allowances and other benefits.

Tenure Election commission of India:

The chief election commissioner and other election commissioners hold office for 6 years or till they attain the age of 65 years, whichever is earlier. They can resign at any time by addressing their resignation to the president. The president can remove any of the commissioners following the procedure provided in the constitution.

 

Powers and Functions Election commission of India:

The powers and functions of the election commission are mentioned below:

1. It determines the territorial area of the electoral constituencies in accordance with the Delimitation Commission Act.
2. It prepares the electoral rolls and revises them from time to time. It registers all the eligible voters. 
3. It prepares and notifies the schedule of the election.
4. It receives and scrutinizes the nomination papers from all the candidates in the elections. 
5. It registers political parties and grants recognition to them. It provides election symbols to the political parties. 
6. It provides the status of national or state parties to the political parties on the basis of their performance in the elections. 
7. It acts as court to look into disputes regarding recognition of political parties and allotment of symbols to them. 
8. It appoints officers to enquire into disputes relating to electoral arrangements. 
9. It prepares the time table for the publicity of the policies and programmes of political parties through TV and radio.
10.It ensures that the model code of conduct is followed by all the political parties and all the candidates. 
11. It advises the president on matters relating to the disqualification of the members of the parliament.
12. It advises the governor of the state on matters relating to the disqualification of the members of the state legislature. 
13. It requests the president or the governor for the necessary staff required for conducting elections.
14. It supervises election machinery and conduct of elections to ensure free and fair elections.
15. It cancels polls in the event of irregularities and wrongdoings during an election.
16. It advises the president whether the elections can be held in a state under president’s rule.

 

In addition to the three member election commission, there are deputy election commissioners who assist the election commissioners. These officers are drawn from the civil services and are appointed by the election commission with fixed tenure. They, in turn, are assisted by the secretaries, joint secretaries, deputy secretaries and under secretaries deputed in the commission’s secretariat.

The chief election commissioner, in consultation with the state government, appoints the chief electoral officer at the state level. The collector acts as the chief returning officer at the district level. Returning officer is appointed for every constituency in the district and presiding officer is appointed for every polling booth in the constituency by the chief returning officer.

 

Therefore, the election commission is the watch-dog of electoral system in India. It is mandatory for the political parties to file their income tax returns. This move was intended to reduce the use of money and power in elections.

Now, it is mandatory for every candidate who contests elections to file an affidavit giving details of his property and criminal cases pending against him. The only positive impact of this is that the information regarding the candidates is easily available to the voters.
