ABSTRACT
The paper gives an brief overview of the design and development of lunar rover (Chandrayaan-2) for space applications. The Moon has always been the center of attention for mankind, more than any other heavenly body in More than any other heavenly body in the night sky, the Moon has long been the focus of human interest. The Moon has always presented mankind with a challenge to learn more about it and to marvel at its wonders because it bears the early history of the solar system. We can uncover the early evolution of the solar system and that of planet Earth by having a better understanding of the Moon. With the 2008 launch of the Chandrayaan-1 orbiter mission to the Moon, India's planetary exploration program was launched by the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO). India launched Chandrayaan-2, its second lunar exploration mission, nearly twelve years after its first lunar exploration mission. Chandrayaan-2, India's most technologically advanced aircraft, is on an unprecedented mission. The South Polar Region of the Moon will be studied by India's second lunar trip, which will draw on nearly ten years of scientific and Engineering advancement. A major accomplishment for both India and humanity, Chandrayaan-2 was the first mission ever to be sent to the southern pole of the moon. Both the high cold and constant darkness in this area make it extremely unsafe and have a bad impact on missions. India faced a tremendously difficult assignment as a result, and the entire world was interested in its outcome. Chandrayaan-1's eleven remote-sensing scientific instruments from ISRO, NASA, and ESA have made important discoveries, such as the identification of a water signature, the discovery of spinel minerals, lunar lava tubes, signs of recent volcanism, impact-triggered boulder movements, and the detection of sputtered atomic oxygen and backscattered helium on the lunar surface. Three components made up Chadrayaan-2: an orbiter, a lander, and a rover. 2019 saw the launch of this mission. During this mission, the Orbiter was successful in reaching the moon's orbit, but communication with the Lander was lost, which caused Lander to perform poorly and crash with the Pragyan rover and other scientific equipment. The work given here is a mini-project that is taken up as a part of the curriculum completed by electronics and communication engineering students in the second year of the electronics & communication engineering department at Dayananda Sagar College of Engineering in Bangalore.
