In the next few weeks, a 15-meter-long rocket weighing 3 to 4 tons could hit the moon. This is the Falcon Rocket Booster of Elon Musk's company SpaceX. The US Deep Space Climate Observatory (DSCOVR) was launched in 2015 to reach space. Since then, it has floated around the moon and the earth.
This is where the threat to the Indian spacecraft 'Chandrayaan' lies. Astronomers estimate that a fraction of the Falcon 9 rocket could collide with the lunar spacecraft or NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter before it hits the moon. These two spacecraft are orbiting the moon and collecting various information and images. Collisions with any part of the Falcon 9 can cause major damage to both Indian and American vehicles.
American researcher Bill Gray was the first to make public the possible collision of Space X Falcon with the moon. According to his calculations, the rocket may have hit the ground at 7:26 am on March 4, a little north of the Moon's equator.
According to Bill, although he does not have much information about the collision at the moment, he will have the opportunity to observe the movements of the Space X Falcon further from February 6 and 7.
According to Holger Craig, head of the European Space Agency's space debacle office, many rocket boosters have collided with the lunar surface to prevent unwanted entry into the Earth's atmosphere, but such an unintentional landing on the lunar surface is quite exceptional. However, it is much more comforting than unwanted entry into the Earth's atmosphere. But what will be the damage to the surface of the moon? Will there be any change in his position? The answer to all these questions is still unknown.
However, many astronomers are assuring that no such thing will happen. In the words of American astronaut Jenithan McDowell, "Yes, it is true that Falcon 9 debris will hit the moon. But we don't think it will do much harm. " The Chinese satellite endure the journey. Whether the Chandrayaan and NASA vehicles will be so 'lucky' will be known in a week's time.
