ADR Ball Bearings aboard the Chandrayaan-3 mission

A couple of weeks ago, India became the first country to land a space probe near the lunar south pole.

Chandrayaan-3, India’s third lunar exploration mission successfully landed on the 23^rd of August. Launched on the 14^th of July, from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre, this mission’s goals are to demonstrate safe and soft landing on lunar terrain, explore the moon’s surface thanks to a rover and to conduct scientific experiments.

Prior to the landing, the mission sequence was divided in three phases:

• Earth centric phase
• Lunar transfer phase
• Moon centric phase

ADR and our agent Mac Marketing were proud to take part in this mission. Indeed, ball bearings manufactured in our workshop were aboard the launcher, satellite and rover.

This achievement shows that with determination and dedicated teams, we can accomplish anything.
