By soft landing the Vikram Lander, India is got the name, first country to land on moon’s south pole. And India will be the 4th country to soft land in Lunar’s surface.

This is said to be historic moment for ISRO and every Indians even world countries celebrates Chandraayan 3 soft landing as milestone in space research. PM Narendra Modi named place where Vikram Lander landed as “Siva Sakthi” and place where Chandraayan 2 landed as “Moovarnakodi (Tiranga)”.

Behind this huge success Salem also plays a small role in Chandraayan 3 success in various ways. Not only Salem many districts plays a role in this success. Now let’s see the role of Salem in Chandraayan 3 success.

3 reasons why the people of Salem is so exciting as more linked and proud of Chandrayaan-3’s success!

1. Imagine this: the Landing Module’s simulated test was conducted using Anorthosite rock from Sithampoondi village in Namakkal, which was crushed into lunar soil-like powder in Salem. 🌒 Guess what? Periyar University tested its properties and found it to be a whopping 90 percent similar to the moon’s surface soil! They even got a patent for this groundbreaking discovery. 💡

2. Hold onto your hats for this one: the simplex stepper motor, a critical component during the propulsion stage, was developed right at SonaSpeed, an advanced research center in Sona College of Technology! 🚀🔧 And get this, they’ve been a regular supplier for none other than ISRO’s space missions! 🌌💪

3. Now talking about that sleek stainless steel encasement for the Launch Vehicle. Guess where it was made? Salem Steel Plant! 🏭 These folks deserve some serious credit for crafting it to the most precise specifications. 📏🔩

So, even though Salem might not be the flashiest place, it’s home to some mind-blowing contributions to Chandrayaan-3’s mission! 🌠 Let’s raise a toast to scientific achievements that unite us all, regardless of borders! 🥂🌎

(The simplex permanent magnet stepper motor serves as a crucial component within the LVM 3’s actuator assembly. This motor holds the responsibility of precisely controlling the ratio of liquid fuel and oxidizer mixture in the rocket engine, contributing to the precision and success of the launch)
