The ‘EMI-EMC’ test is a major milestone in the realization of the satellites
On Sunday the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) said that the moon lander part of India’s third lunar mission Chandrayaan-3 successfully underwent the EMI-EMC (Electro-Magnetic Interference/ Electro-Magnetic Compatibility) test recently.
According to ISRO, the Chandrayaan-3 lander successfully underwent EMI/ EMC test during January 31-February 2 at the U R Rao Satellite Centre, Bengaluru.
The EMI-EMC test is conducted for satellite missions to ensure the functionality of the satellite subsystems in the space environment and their compatibility with the expected electromagnetic levels.
This test is a major milestone in the realization of the satellites.
Chandrayaan-3 interplanetary mission has three major modules: The Propulsion module, the Lander module, and Rover. The mission’s complexity calls for establishing radio-frequency (RF) communication links between the modules, said ISRO.
During the Chandrayaan-3 lander EMI/ EC test, launcher compatibility, antenna polarization of all RF systems, standalone auto compatibility tests for orbital and powered descent mission phases, and Lander and Rover compatibility tests for the post-landing mission phase were ensured. The performance of the systems was satisfactory, the Indian space agency added.
