India’s cheap formula for landing on the Moon

Take a look back at the spectacular progress in space conquest, which was revealed to the world a few days ago.

By placing the machine in a mysterious place far side of the moonIndia and its space agency (ISRO) has shown the world that it is not necessary to have a big budget to achieve achievements in the field of space exploration. Although countries with more resources, such as Russia and the United States, have spent heavily on their lunar missions, India has opted for a more pragmatic approach.

ISRO is very efficient at using locally made materials and taking the longer route to reach the far side of the Moon. This bold approach allows spacecraft to harness the pull of Earth’s gravity like a catapult, thereby saving significant amounts of fuel and associated costs. Although this route takes longer to reach the Moon (mission departed on July 14), it does show the ingenuity of ISRO scientists and engineers.

Compared to a budget of $25 billion NASA So far this year, ISRO has accomplished an extraordinary feat with its limited resources – $1.66 billion – and has no intention of stopping there: India has even bigger dreams, including launching a mission to study the Sun and sending astronauts into orbit.

What is also clear is that outer space, which has long been the property of the two countries and is no longer a priority, is now increasingly exciting many people, both state and private organizations, such as Outer SpaceX, Virgin Galaxy Or Blue Origin. A face that will no doubt only increase the pollution that is already on Earth above our heads – as if the pollution on Earth or the seas wasn’t enough…

Another curious fact: the main stakeholders in lunar exploration are members BRIK – Russia, China and India – organizations that, according to Goldman Sachs, should dominate the global economy around 2050. Should we look at cause and effect?
