Digital Desk: This a very proud moment for the people of Assam as well as the nation too, as Chayan Dutta of Assam has been entrusted with the vital task of managing the launch control operations for India's future moon mission, Chandrayaan-3. Chandrayaan-3 has increased fuel capacity, robust safety systems, and a wider landing zone, and it uses a "failure-based design" approach to ensure a successful moon landing even in the face of unexpected problems.
Chayan Dutta, a distinguished alumnus of Tezpur University's Department of Electronics and Communication Engineering, is currently employed as a Scientist/Engineer-G at the UR Rao Satellite Centre, Department of Space.
He also serves as the Deputy Project Director for the "On Board Command Telemetry, Data Handling & Storage System, Lander, Chandrayaan-3" project. The Command and Data Handling subsystem, known as the spacecraft's "brains," is in charge of controlling all of the spacecraft's functions.
Chandrayaan-3 is set to launch at 2:35 p.m. on July 14, marking an important milestone in India's space research efforts. This mission is a follow-up to the Chandrayaan-2 mission, which crashed in September 2019 owing to a software malfunction.
Following the lead of previous missions, Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) Chairman S Somanath recently indicated that Chandrayaan-3 will use a novel design approach. In contrast to relying purely on success, the mission is built with a "failure-based design" mentality, addressing probable failure areas and integrating safeguards to ensure a successful lunar landing.
