A very proud moment for ISRO and every Indian ! Jai Hind !!

Do we know the final vertical velocity during touchdown? The lander can take less than 2 m/s

sanman · Post by **sanman** » 23 Aug 2023 18:09

That hover was great. Our lander was in full control on that descent.

A big thank you to BRFites Amber G, Dilbu, SSSalvi and to anyone else I have forgotten, my apologies. Your contributions in this thread have been nothing short of spectacular. Your informative posts made it all the more special for the readers who have been following the thread.

Indeed, take a bow! This thread was so engaging over the past couple of months.

Agreed, Modi-ji should have said a few short words and yielded to Somnath-ji.

Relax folks, NaMo is giving a lot of messaging to the entire world, not hogging limelight. Listen to his words and parse very carefully.

Congratulations!!! This is amazing… freaking automated…

When is the lander rolling out?

hnair · Post by **hnair** » 23 Aug 2023 18:21

Just woke up after suffering multiple mini-strokes during that hover phase at 100+ meters….

Remembering all the stalwarts known and unknown, who worked all their lives to reach this moment. Because back in the 80s, when the first ASLV launch broke up over Bay of Bengal, I saw the sadness of the folks involved at VSSC for first time and remember wondering for a minute if we will ever do stuff with the effortless ease that Americans, Soviets and Europeans were doing at that time.

Turns out we can and we did

Cyrano · Post by **Cyrano** » 23 Aug 2023 18:22

Great so see many, so many women - "Bharatiya Naaris" in this CY3 team ! While the rest of the world keeps talking about this and that, India just simply does it in every field that matters. Bharata Naari ki jai !!

sanman · Post by **sanman** » 23 Aug 2023 18:23

ISRO scientist speaking just mentioned "landing a craft on Mars" as one of the future missions.

A_Gupta · Post by **A_Gupta** » 23 Aug 2023 18:24

What was the vertical landing velocity of the lander? Was it the nominal 1 meter/sec or was it at the higher end towards 3 meters/sec?

What was the horizontal landing velocity of the lander?
