Recently, India successfully launched the Chandrayaan-3 probe at the space center in southern Andhra Pradesh, which attracted the attention of the world.

India's goal this time is to send the lander and Lunar rover to the south pole of the moon. Modi also sent a special tweet and praised India's space sector.

Now the Indian media has completely gone viral, excitedly posting that they have surpassed China in four aspects of the aerospace industry.

Where does India claim to surpass China with confidence? What are the four aspects they are threatening?

India Launches Lunar Ship 3

On the afternoon of the 14th local time in India, a heavy rocket was successfully launched with the "Luncheon 3" probe, which was equipped with an orbiter, lander, and rover.

India also specially broadcast the whole launch mission, which is India's second attempt to land on the Moon landing.

The destination of Luna 3 is the South Pole of the moon, and human exploration of this area can be said to be rare, as the shadow area of the South Pole is much larger than that of the North Pole.

But the research value of Lunar south pole is indeed very high. Because it is covered by shadow for a long time, it is very likely that there is water in this area.

High value is often accompanied by high risk. The last attempt in India ended in failure. This time, the moon ship was named after Vikram, the founder of ISRO, which naturally carries more ardent expectations.

Sumner of the Indian Space Research Organisation announced the mission of the rover Chandrayaan-3. The most important thing is to explore the physical characteristics of the moon surface.

Sumner believes that although Lunar south pole is a new research area, countries that have landed on the moon before have no research results here, it is precisely because of this that they set their destination at the South Pole.

If we want to make significant scientific discoveries, we cannot blindly follow the footsteps of our predecessors, as new regions are their challenge targets.

As early as four years ago, India had attempted to make a soft landing for Luna 2, but Luna 2 had lost contact more than two thousand meters from the lunar surface.

This time, India made improvements on the basis of failure and gathered a large number of professional talents to join the research team, finally regrouping and trying again.

India claims that they want the moon to become an extended continent of the Earth, and this live rocket launch, after achieving the first stage of success, is a bit flustered.

The Deputy Minister of Science and Technology of India also told reporters in an interview that this is a glorious moment for India, implying that the great achievements of Indian technology can be widely promoted.

He said that the Lunar rover would land on the moon in late August, and some people threatened that they had achieved remarkable success, which proved that they had surpassed China in the space field.

There are some similarities between the lunar exploration mission of Chandrayaan-3 and China's Chang'e 4, and India has also made no secret of comparing the two.

The relevant personnel of the Indian Ministry of Science and Technology said that the Chang'e 4 landing site was only in the south of the moon, but their Chandrayaan-3 was the pioneer in the real exploration of the Lunar south pole.

In the impression of most people, India is a poor and backward country. Why did it suddenly have the ability to go to the moon?

The Real Strength of China and India

In fact, India's History of spaceflight is not too short. Although their research on aerospace is not as good as that of European and American countries, it has been sixty or seventy years, and it is not suddenly emerging.

Even China's first rocket launch was seven years later than India's, but China's development has been slow, giving people the illusion of a blank space in India's aerospace industry.

However, it is not an illusion that Economy of India's economy is not very good. At that time, when the rocket was just built, it was really poor. Even some rocket parts were delivered by bike.

Later on, a satellite was to be launched, and during the testing, it was eventually replaced by a bicycle. However, this also indirectly demonstrated the determination of the Indian people to develop the aerospace industry at that time.

Afterwards, the development speed of India's space industry slowed down again and again, but it never stopped. The plan to explore the moon had already been decided many years ago.

In 2008, India had launched its first lunar probe, but the Chandrayaan-1 was only a lunar orbiter, and it had lost contact less than a year after launch.

Although the mission completed by this detector was not very satisfactory, it also returned a lot of data and even discovered traces of water molecules.

The Indian people believed that this attempt was relatively successful, so their confidence increased greatly. In 2019, which was four years ago, they launched the lunar vessel 2.

But the progress of this mission was not smooth, as the probe they had developed over ten years ago lost its signal at a distance of over two thousand meters from the moon.

Although Indians insisted that the lunar vessel 2 had landed, the mission ended in failure due to the lack of signal coming back.

They were not reconciled, so they launched Chandrayaan-3 four years later, and firmly believed that the efforts of these four years would enable Chandrayaan-3 to land safely at the Lunar south pole.

Modi excitedly said, "As far as India's aerospace industry is concerned, this day will always be engraved on golden characters, and this extraordinary mission will carry the hope and dreams of our nation

Although India has achieved breakthroughs in its aerospace development, the strength of China's aerospace industry is not something they can easily wipe out with a touch of their tongue.

Since China sent the Dongfang Red into space, the gears of fate have started to rotate. Over the past few decades, China's aerospace talents have been one after another, creating one miracle after another.

In just a few decades, China has already gained a foothold in the aerospace industry, launching nearly 200 satellites of all sizes.

The successful launch of Shenzhou 1 has made China the third country in the world to successfully send people into space.

The most eye-catching thing is China's BeiDou. After more than 20 years of construction, the Beidou Satellite System will finally be officially completed in 2021.

In this way, there is no doubt that China's aerospace strength is stronger than India's. In terms of rocket launching technology, China's achievements are amazing in front of the world.

China's one arrow multi star technology has amazed the world, and not long ago, China's achievement of 26 stars per arrow once again broke the record.

In addition, the development of the space station is far behind India. Tiangong-1 has left a strong mark on China's History of spaceflight.

China's space station was officially put into operation last year, while India has long claimed to build its first space station by 2030, but there has been no news of its development and construction until now.

Moreover, China's aerospace industry is no longer just about research and development. The aerospace economy has extended a series of industries, with various aerospace industrial parks and themed amusement parks emerging one after another.

However, the current level of India's aerospace industry can only be said to be in its infancy, and it cannot be compared to China, which has already matured its various industries.

But the Indian side does not think so, claiming that India has surpassed China in four aspects.

Four aspects of Indian pride

India's proudest thing is their technology, and the difficulty of soft landing is actually very high, otherwise India wouldn't have failed at the last moment four years ago.

Personnel from the Indian Ministry of Media and Technology believe that the technology of the Moon Ship 3 has achieved a huge breakthrough.

This probe not only has the necessary thruster lander and Lunar rover, but also carries a large number of payloads used to study the earth spectrum on the moon, measure the surface temperature and plasma density.

This is not the proudest thing for them. The passive laser reflector array carried by the moon ship 3 is the trump card that they think surpasses China, but it is provided by NASA of the United States, and it is not made by them at all.

The second point is the landing site they have chosen. As mentioned earlier, India believes that its Lunar 3 landing site is the real Lunar south pole, while China's Chang'e 4 landing site is just close to the Lunar south pole.

This makes India think that Chang'e 4 is just like this. Their moon ship 3 is even more powerful. India is stronger than China in exploring the Lunar south pole.

The third point is the technical aspect of rockets. The heavy rocket carrying the lunar ship 3 is indeed of no takeoff weight, which is also one of the excitement points for Indian netizens.

But India's rockets have an almost fatal drawback, which is their very poor carrying capacity, with some rockets having a carrying capacity of only about 4 tons.

Anyway, these three points still belong to the technical field, but the fourth point is somewhat absurd. They are proud that the construction cost is far lower than that of China.

The construction cost of Chang'e 4 is about 840 million dollars, but the cost of Yuechuan 3 is less than 75 million dollars.

In other words, one Chang'e 4 can build Chuan-3 for more than ten months, which is just a fraction of the cost of building a detector.

In fact, the reason why India spends low is largely because India does not pursue high-end and advanced technology. As long as it can be used, even if other countries eliminate it, they do not dislike it.

Moreover, they did not prepare a backup detector for the lunar vessel 3 at all, which led to the development of the lunar vessel 3 detector at the lowest cost.

The Indian netizens' carnival surpasses China's, and the Chandrayaan-3 is better than Chang'e 4, which is just an exciting performance for their space industry to achieve a major breakthrough.

After all, Moon Ship 3 has just been launched, and there is still more than a month before landing. No one knows what will happen during this period.

That is to say, the Moon Ship 3 mission has not been successful so far, but being able to take this step is already worth encouraging.

ending

If India's lunar ship 3 can truly achieve a soft landing this time, it will be the fourth country in the world to achieve this achievement.

Although India's aerospace strength is incomparable with China today, there are few countries in the world that can successfully land on the Moon landing, so India's aerospace strength can still rank top.

We are not worried about being surpassed. Unlike European and American countries, China will not sanction or suppress a country because of its development threat.

Both India's Chandrayaan-3 probe and China's Chang'e series are great advances in human aviation and Space technology technology.

China has never been afraid of benign competition. From a global perspective, India's aerospace industry is constantly developing, which is also a good thing for human exploration of the universe.

What we need to do is persist in autonomy and do our own research well, and there is nothing else to worry about.

Contrary to others! Sign a 2 million ton agreement, but only sell 200000 tons, and then want to sell to China after being unsold?

After the introduction of new national policies, 150000 black people were cleared away. The government: Reporting rewards! 8000 per person!

Proactively tearing up huge orders in our country and refusing to pay a penalty of 1 billion yuan afterwards, are you begging us again now?
