This test is crucial for satellite missions as it ensures the satellite subsystems' functionality in the space environment and their compatibility with the expected electromagnetic levels. It is considered a significant milestone in the satellite's realization.
The Chandrayaan-3 interplanetary mission comprises three primary modules, namely the Propulsion module, Lander module, and Rover. Due to the mission's complexity, establishing radio-frequency (RF) communication links between the modules is essential.
During the Chandrayaan-3 lander EMI/EC test, Launcher compatibility, Antenna Polarization of all RF systems, Standalone auto-compatibility tests for orbital and powered descent mission phases, and Lander and Rover compatibility tests for post-landing mission phases were all verified. The systems performed satisfactorily.
The Chandrayaan program is a series of Indian lunar exploration missions that started with Chandrayaan-1 in 2008. The program's objective is to explore the Moon's surface and conduct scientific experiments. Chandrayaan-2 was launched in 2019, which included an orbiter, lander, and rover.
Although the lander Vikram failed to land successfully, the orbiter is still operational and conducting experiments. The successful EMI/EMC test for the Chandrayaan-3 lander is a positive step towards India's continued exploration of the Moon through the Chandrayaan program.
