Quenching the Thirst for Knowledge |

Answer» mark me as brainlistExplanation:Communication satellites, weather satellites and remote sensing satellites are satellites that make our life easy, interesting and safe. In addition to this, ISRO scientists have built scientific satellites that quench the human thirst for knowledge, especially to understand our universe. But the satellite or to be more precise the spacecraft which revealed the prowess of Indian scientists to efficiently explore space was Chandrayaan-1. Since Chandrayaan-1 went towards some other heavenly body instead of permanently circling the EARTH, it is appropriate to call it a spacecraft rather than a satellite. Chandrayaan-1 demonstrated many things including India’s ability to do meaningful science at low cost, its ability to assume leadership in a cooperative space venture and develop the essential technology within STIPULATED TIME. Chandrayaan-1 made the outside world to look at India with enhanced respect and galvanized student COMMUNITY within India. It became a prominent milestone not only in the history of Indian space programme, but in the history of India itself. One of the main objectives of Chandrayaan-1 was to further expand the knowledge about the moon, make more progress in space technologies, especially by decreasing the various internal ‘organs’ of a satellite or a spacecraft and provide challenging OPPORTUNITIES to India’s large younger generation of scientists to conduct research about the moon. Having proved India’s ability to successfully explore another heavenly body, Chandrayaan-1 collected massive amount of scientific data (information), including pictures. Chandryaan-1 had detected water molecules on the moon. This was a path-breaking discovery indeed! Before Chandryaan-1 went to moon, scientists were not certain about the presence of water on the moon. Thus, it was India’s Chandrayaan-1 which made a major discovery about the moon. Along with this, scientists were able to sense the height and depth of various features on the lunar surface. Chandrayaan-1 thus became a symbol of India’s success in space. |
