Chandrayaan-3 underwent EMI/EMC (Electro – Magnetic Interference/ Electro-Magnetic Compatibility) tests successfully at the U R Rao Satellite Center in Bengaluru, advancing India’s mission to the moon. The test was carried out between January 31 and February 2, according to information released on Sunday by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO).
According to a statement from Isro, this test marks a significant turning point in the development of the satellites.
What is EMI-EMC test
To ensure the functionality of the satellite subsystems in the space environment and their compatibility with the expected electromagnetic levels, the EMI-EMC test is carried out for satellite missions.
The Propulsion module, Landing module, and Rover module are the three main modules that make up the interplanetary Chandrayaan-3 project. “The mission’s complexity calls for establishing radio-frequency (RF) communication links between the modules,” Isro said.
Launcher compatibility, antenna polarisation for all RF systems, standalone auto tests for orbital and powered descent mission phases, and Lander & Rover tests for the post-landing mission phase were all ensured during the EMI/EMC test.
About Chandrayaan-3
Chandrayaan-3, a follow-up mission to Chandrayan-2, is a lander-rover configuration that will demonstrate end-to-end capability in safe landing and roving on the lunar surface.
The final launch dates, which have not yet been announced by the Indian space agency, are most likely to occur in the second or third quarter of 2023.
The mission’s objective is to study more about the lunar composition. The mission’s three major goals have been outlined by Isro, and they are to show a soft and safe lunar surface landing, show off the rover’s moon roving abilities, and perform in-situ scientific observations.
