Welcome to Astronomy Daily, your go-to Podcast for the latest news and discoveries in the field of space and Astronomy. I'm your host Anna, and we have some fascinating stories lined up for you today. From NASA's upcoming decision on Boeing's Starliner to the historic private spacewalk planned by SpaceX's Polaris Dawn mission, we've got the latest updates that will keep you on the edge of your seat. We'll also delve into groundbreaking findings from India's Chandrayaan-3 mission, discuss the finale of ESA's Cluster mission, and explore new simulations about the chances of a collision between the Milky Way and Andromeda galaxies. Stay tuned. It's going to be an exciting episode.  - **NASA's Decision on Boeing's Starliner**: NASA is gearing up to make a significant decision this Stuart regarding whether astronauts Butch Wilmore and SUNY Williams will return to Earth using Boeing's troubled Starliner spacecraft or SpaceX's reliable Crew Dragon. This announcement holds particular weight given the numerous challenges the Starliner has faced throughout its mission.   - **Polaris Dawn Mission: Historic Private Spacewalk**: SpaceX has announced a slight delay in their much-anticipated Polaris Dawn mission. Originally set to lift off on August 26, the launch is now scheduled for no earlier than August 27. This shift allows the team to complete some additional pre-flight checkouts to ensure everything is in perfect order for this groundbreaking mission.   - **Chandrayaan-3 Mission: New Lunar Discoveries**: Next up, the Pragyan rover, part of India's Chandrayaan-3 mission, has been actively exploring the moon's south pole, providing fascinating insights into our celestial neighbor. Launched last summer, the Vikram lander made a successful touchdown, allowing the Pragyan rover to embark on its scientific expedition. So far, Pragyan has been diligently collecting and analyzing soil samples, a task that has yielded data bolstering theories about the moon's fiery origins.  - **ESA's Cluster Mission Finale **: ESA's historic Cluster mission is coming to a close after an impressive 24 years of service. Launched back in 2000, the Cluster mission has provided invaluable data on Earth's magnetic environment, or magnetosphere.  - **Milky Way and Andromeda: Collision or Near Miss?**: Here's a story that could rewrite the textbooks. Astronomers have long held the belief that our home galaxy, the Milky Way, will inevitably merge with our neighboring Andromeda galaxy within the next 5 billion years. This anticipated cataclysmic event has been a staple of astronomical forecasts, predicting an eventual fusion of the two galaxies into a new elliptical supergalaxy called Milkomeda. However, new simulations present a more nuanced picture, suggesting that the likelihood of this colossal collision could be a mere 50% over the next 10 billion years.  To catch the latest in Space and Astronomy News, simply visit our website at astronomydaily.io For more Space & Astronomy News podcasts, visit our HQ at bitesz.com Sponsor Links: Nordpass NordVPN Malwarebytes Proton Mail & Security

Chandrayaan-3.

India has become the first country to land at the lunar south pole, and we consider this very cool space news. Among the very coolest of space news, perhaps. And truth be told it is truly *monumental*. While many are discussing the usual geopolitical gossip that seemingly goes in tandem with such cool space news, the significance of the landing not for any one nation, but potentially for the human race, is huge. So today, to the nation of India, its brilliant scientists at Isro, and all those who worked towards #chandrayaan3, we salute your fine, very cool space work.

One of the mission's principal aims will be to search for water-based ice that, scientists believe, could support future human habitation on the Moon. However, we would ask you to spare a thought at this time for the plucky little rover, who will wizz (albeit slowly) around the Moon's south pole for one lunar day (around 14 Earth days.) Named Pragyan, which means “wisdom” in Sanskrit, the rover will analyze the elemental composition of the Moon’s surface, and assess the composition of elements like magnesium and aluminium in the lunar soil around the landing site. 

But we can't help but think of this cute little rover, its six wheels leaving imprints of Isro and India’s national emblem on the lunar surface, up there frightened, away from home, all alone :(

Indian rover begins to explore moon – DW – 08/24/2023

India's lunar rover began exploring the moon's surface on Thursday as part of the country's Chandrayaan-3 mission.

New Delhi's Vikram lander reached the moon on Wednesday, making India the first country to land a craft on the lunar south pole.

The six-wheeled, solar-powered Pragyan rover will explore the largely unmapped area of the moon and transmit images and scientific data over a period of two weeks. It will examine the mineral composition of the moon's surface.

Cahndrayaan-3 had to orbit the Earth several times to gain speed and took a month to reach the moon.

"Rover ramped down the lander and India took a walk on the moon!" the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) posted on X, formerly known as Twitter.  ...

ISRO revealed this picture of the Vikram Lander taken by the Pragyan Rover.

I like our moon! As a kid I loved that we could see it during the day

I saw it during the day today! As a long time mutual of this blog, I'm sure you're aware that my grandfather destroyed more moon rocks than anyone else on earth by his extremely likely to be correct measures. What you may not know is that of those moon rocks, the one he got from Apollo 11 had been flipped over during the landing, something that he was able to demonstrate because the supposed 'up' side was significantly more shielded!

Here's a photo from the surface of the moon and the Vikram lander, as taken by the Pragyan rover, both from the Chandrayaan-3 mission as a shot out to Devendra Lal, a titan of Indian geophysics and a close friend of his:

Pragyan rover (2023) by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO). Chandrayaan-3 is India’s third lunar mission, and the first space mission to land near the south pole of the Moon. The Vikram lander touched down on the lunar surface on 23rd August 2023. Inside the lander is the six-wheeled Pragyan rover, which is planned roam the lunar surface, exploring permanently shadowed craters that may hold frozen water. Pragyan, meaning 'wisdom' in Sanskrit, is painted in the colours of the Tiranga, the national flag of India. It drives at a speed of one centimetre per second, and is planned to cover a total distance of half a kilometre during its 14 earth day, or 1 lunar day, mission. Instruments include a Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscope (LIBS) that fires laser pulses at various targets to analyse the resulting plasma, and an Alpha Particle Induced X-ray Spectroscope (APIXS). The photos show the Pragyan rover successfully disembarking from the Vikram lander onto the lunar surface.

Big News !!

1. Donald Trump arrested. It's a first for any US President! Hooray on the iconic achievement! He got booked at a Georgia jail on racketeering charges and had a sexy mugshot taken. He got out around 20 minutes after surrendering because he paid the bail amount.

2. Yevgeny Prighozin "death". Apparently a plane with him and 10 other people crash landed in Russia, and he's now presumed dead. He was a far right dude who rebelled against Putin because he didn't get enough leeway from him to be an asshole. He called off the march after a day. Two months later, he's dead. Go figure.

3. Chandrayaan-3 Success. They succeeded in soft landing on the South Pole of the moon, making them the first country to land on the South Pole and the fourth country to land a rover mission on the moon. It's the successor of the Chandrayaan-2 and the lander is named Vikram, while the Rover is named Pragyan. They focused on giving it more fuel than the previous mission in 2019 to allow for greater spin, and also used the images from the failed mission to aid the landing of the Chandrayaan-3.

Sorry for being a pesky news anchor, I just couldn't hold it in because of the barrage of news I've been bombarded with this week. A lot of interesting developments recently.

The Chandrayaan 3

CHANDRAYAAN-3 

Greetings to everyone who is reading this blog.

 Recently the big achievement, India made history by landing on the moon's south pole surface with a smooth landing. 

India has become the only country to have ever done so. There is a machine called the rover whose name is Pragyan which is a small vehicle meant to roam on the surface of the moon to check the soil condition water pressure etc.

 This mission was only successful because ISRO kept persisting they learned from the past 2 missions that is [ Chandrayaan -1 & Chandrayaan 2 ].

 To smoothly land on the moon's south pole is difficult cause the terrain and temperature are not suitable the temperature at the south pole is too cold.

The spacecraft entered the lunar surface on August 5. The lunar South Pole region holds particular interest for scientific exploration due to studies that show large amounts of ice there. This ice could contain solid-state compounds that would normally melt under warmer conditions elsewhere on the Moon, compounds which could provide insight into lunar, Earth, and Solar System history. 

This ice will help us know more about how the whole solar system was formed. Ice could also be used as a source of drinking water and hydrogen for fuel and oxygen. 

There were 3 main objectives of Chandrayan 3 

Getting a lander to land safely and softly on the surface of the Moon.

Observing and demonstrating the rover's driving capabilities on the Moon.

Conducting and observing experiments on the materials available on the lunar surface to better understand the composition of the Moon. ISRO has said by the end of the year we will get to know if human life is possible on earth and much relevant information as such.

In December 2019, ISRO requested the initial funding of the project, amounting to ₹75 crore. Amit Sharma, CEO of an ISRO vendor, said, "With local sourcing of equipment and design elements, we can reduce the price considerably."

That is it for the day Hope we see more such missions of ISRO successful and we Indians Reach the height.
