For ISRO’s Chandrayaan-3 moon mission, students are developing a crucial motor.
A team of students from Sona College of Technology in Salem, Tamil Nadu, has successfully developed a critical motor for India’s upcoming lunar mission, Chandrayaan-3. The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) had entrusted the SonaSPEED team with creating various motors for its space missions. The stepper motor developed by the team was selected for integration into the Launch Vehicle Mark-III (LVM 3) that will launch Chandrayaan-3.
This magnet stepper motor will be used in the actuator assembly of the LVM 3 to control the ratio of liquid fuel and oxidizer mixture in the rocket engine. The Sona College of Technology’s research team expressed their privilege in contributing to ISRO’s moon mission and affirmed their commitment to supporting future space endeavors. Vee Technologies, a technology firm responsible for manufacturing and ensuring the quality of the motors, considers the successful integration of the stepper motor in Chandrayaan-3 a testament to India’s engineering talent in advancing ISRO’s groundbreaking missions.
This achievement has motivated Vee Technologies’ motor division to participate confidently in India’s strategic space and defense sector, where they provide precision engineering solutions for high-quality products needed in defense, space, and automotive markets.
