On Thursday, the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) said that Chandrayaan-3 – the successor to the lunar spacecraft Chandrayaan-2 – has successfully cleared tests that tested the spacecraft’s ability to withstand the harsh vibration and acoustic environment it will encounter during launch. .
According to ISRO, the tests were conducted in the first week of March 2023 at test facilities located at the UR Rao Satellite Center in Bangalore.
These tests are an essential part of the qualification and acceptance of any spacecraft. These tests were particularly challenging because the Chandrayaan-3 spacecraft is a composite of three modules – the propulsion module, the lander module and the rover module.
Vibration and acoustic tests performed on the integrated spacecraft have provided considerable confidence in its structural integrity and survivability in the launch environment, ISRO said.
