Chandrayaan-2 Would Start Its Descend On Lunar Surface On Saturday

Chandrayaan-2 is finally ready to let its lander Vikram descend on the Moon. It has been 47-days since the Chanrayaan-2 left earth and now it is going to touch the lunar surface between 1:30am to 2:30am on Saturday.

Landing site

ISRO has marked two landing sites – primary and secondary – for Vikram the lander. It would first attempt landing at the primary site and switch to secondary landing zone only when it finds any difficulty on landing on the first site.

Primary landing site

The primary landing site for Vikram is divided into two zones and the final selection of a zone is left on the lander. It would hover over the primary landing site to collect data and take an informed decision on a landing zone. The two zones are 500m x 500m in area and separated by 1.6km.

Illumination by sunlight

ISRO kept the need for sunlight for illumination for taking clear pictures while choosing landing sites. Sun’s elevation would be more than 6-degrees on these sites. There would be plenty of sunlight needed to take clear pictures of the lunar surface.

Vikram would start descending on lunar surface from an altitude of 35km and follow the safe path determined by ISRO. It would stop at 400m above the surface and hover for some time to collect data required for safe landing.

Huawei Technologies Faces Complete Ban In The US

The US has banned five Chinese companies from supplying telecommunication products to its federal agencies. These companies include Huawei, Hikvision, ZTE Corporation, Dahua and Hytera. The government passed an interim rule regarding the ban.

Ban on Huawei Technologies

The world’s largest telecommunication network gear-maker has been accused of espionage and stealing intellectual properties by Washington. But the company has denied the charge that it has been controlled by the Chinese government or was a part of any military or intelligence unit. It has even filed a lawsuit against the US government for the restrictions on its business.

US government rule

Last year, the Trump government passed National Defense Authorisation Act (NDDA) to impose restrictions over use of federal money for purchasing telecommunication equipment from “covered” telecommunication companies. The reasons cited for the ban were national security.

The rule would come into force on August 13 and the government would accept comments on the new rule for 60 days from the date of commencement of the rule. It would come with a final version of the rule after 60 days.

Dilemma of US contractors

The contractors in the US are confused about the new rule and its scope. Also, they are uncertain about its affects on their business dealings and profit in the long run. But they are assured that they would get limited freedom to grant waiver through August 13, 2021, where security isn’t a concern.

Final draft of the rule

The final ban would come in force in August 2020. It will ban all contracts with the “covered” companies. For more information please visit our latest trending News
