NEW DELHI, in India (CNN) scientific extinguished the India of several instruments to halt rising temperatures inside the first lunar spacecraft without a pilot.
The ship carrying the first lunar probe of the India, Chandrayaan-1 took off from Sriharikota.
Mylswamy Annadurai, project for the lunar mission Director, told CNN that temperatures on board Chandrayaan-1 has increased to 49 degrees Celsius (120 degrees Fahrenheit).
Increase emerged as the craft, the moon - which is in orbit - and the Sun reflected, a phenomenon which said Annadurai was not unexpected and would likely last until the end of December.
"We have extinguished (edge) systems that are not required to be on", Annadurai said, excluding the possibility of damage, and adding that the temperature was now at 40 degrees Celsius (104 degrees Fahrenheit).
Heat on the Chandrayaan-1 shall not exceed 50 degrees Celsius (122 degrees Fahrenheit), Annadurai said - but insists that the orbiter is designed to support up to 60 degrees Celsius (140 degrees Fahrenheit).
The Chandrayaan-1 - Chandrayaan means "Moon craft" in Sanskrit - was successfully launched in the South of the India on 22 October. "
Watch the launch of the first lunar mission of the India".
His two-year mission is to take images at high resolution in three dimensions of the surface of the Moon, especially in the polar regions permanently shaded. It will also search for evidence of water or ice and try to identify the chemical composition of some Moon rocks, the group said.
Earlier this month following the Moon Impact Probe detached from Chandrayaan-1 and hat with success on the lunar surface.
Officials said that the TV-size probe, which is decorated with a painting of the Indian flag, reached the surface of the Moon at a speed of 5 760 kilometres per hour (3,579 mph).
Transmitted data in Chandrayaan-1 prior to impact, it should not be retrieved later.
Chandrayaan-1 is carrying payloads of to the United States, the European Union and the Bulgaria. The India plans to share the mission data with other programs, including NASA. All About India • NASA
