As Chandrayaan-3’s Vikram prepares to land, Isro looks at lunar orbit traffic
With just about a fortnight to go before Isro attempts to soft-land Vikram, the Chandrayaan-3 lander on the lunar surface, the space agency has carried out a detailed analysis of traffic around Moon, not just for now but also for the coming years. And managing this traffic will be a continuous process for Isro given that the Chandrayaan-2 orbiter, which entered the lunar orbit in 2019, as of July 31 has already had to perform at least three collision avoidance manoeuvres (CAMs) to mitigate critical close approaches with other spacecraft.
