ISRO successfully places INSAT-3DS weather satellite in geosynchronous orbit, expected to reach IOT location on February 28

The weather satellite has already entered its intended geosynchronous orbit, according to an announcement made by ISRO on a series of scheduled Liquid Apogee Motor (LAM) firings on board the INSAT-3DS spacecraft. On February 28, 2024, the spacecraft is anticipated to arrive at the In Orbit Testing (IOT) location.

Before the spacecraft can start operating, commissioning tasks include turning on the sensors and instruments, assessing how well they work in microgravity conditions, and calibrating the observations.

The Ministry of Earth Sciences (MoES), which has completely supported the program, expects that the upgraded weather satellite INSAT-3DS will improve forecasts throughout its departments.

On February 17, 2024, at 17:35 hours, INSAT-3DS was launched on a Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle (GSLV) rocket from the second launch pad at India’s spaceport in Sriharikota. After being launched into a geosynchronous transfer orbit, the satellite was propelled to the desired regime using onboard propulsion. Following launch, the ISRO Telemetry, Tracking and Command Network (ISTRAC) carried out a sequence of maneuvers in which the satellite’s laser was fired.

ISRO successfully launches XPoSat mission to study black holes

ISRO XPoSat Launch: In space, ISRO made history once more. The X-ray Polarimeter Satellite (XPoSat) was successfully launched by ISRO today from the Satish Dhawan Space Center in Sriharikota, Andhra Pradesh. This satellite‘s launch will provide India with a wealth of crucial space-related information.

This mission’s unique feature is that ISRO will be able to identify X-ray sources originating from orbit thanks to the XPo satellite. The identity of the celestial body from which these X-rays are emanating will also be disclosed. Furthermore, it will support research into the enigmatic realm of “black holes.”

Expo Satellite was launched by ISRO with the dual goals of gathering data on black holes and uncovering X-ray mysteries. The duration of this mission is five years. NASA, the American space agency, completed this work earlier. This investigation was carried out by NASA in December 2021.

Vikram Lander of Chandrayaan-3 again made soft landing on the Moon, ISRO gave information

ISRO announced that Chandrayaan-3’s Vikram Lander once more accomplished a soft landing on the Moon in a Monday X (Twitter) post. Actually, Vikram Lander completed the Hope Test, also known as the Jump Test, successfully.

In response to this, Vikram Lander ignited its engine at the instruction of ISRO, lifted itself as planned by 40 cm, and then touched down again 30 to 40 cm away.

According to ISRO, this experiment will have a significant impact on future lander and human mission returns. After this experiment, Lander Vikram’s systems are all operating normally.

The payload on the lander was folded during the test by instructing ChaSTE and ILSA, and then redeployed after a soft landing. According to ISRO, the Chandrayaan-3 mission fared better than expected with this experiment.

The mission of Chandrayaan-3 is almost complete after it has achieved its objectives. In a statement, ISRO said that Pragyan Rover has completed its work and has been set to sleep mode.

ISRO launched India’s first Sun mission ‘Aditya-L1’ from the space center in Sriharikota

‘Aditya-L1’, India’s first Sun mission, has taken off from Sriharikota‘s space center. The Satish Dhawan Space Center in Sriharikota launched this mission on September 2 at 11:50 AM. Aditya L1 will arrive at a near approach to the Sun in around 4 months. Around 15 lakh kilometers would be traveled by Aditya L1 from the Earth.

According to ISRO, Aditya-L1 would be launched into a halo orbit 1.5 million kilometers away from Earth in the direction of the Sun. Without experiencing any eclipses, the satellite and payload will continue to orbit the Sun in the same relative location. This will facilitate real-time observation of solar activity and its influence on space weather.

At the Satish Dhawan Space Center (SDSC) SHAR Sriharikota, a sizable crowd is gathered to see the launch of ISRO’s Sun Mission Aditya L-1.

Successful landing of Chandrayaan-3 on the moon, India became the first country in the world to reach the South Pole

On Wednesday evening, Chandrayaan-3‘s Lander Module (LM) successfully touched down on the lunar surface. India has become the first nation in history to go to the Moon‘s South Pole. At 6:04 p.m., the lander module, which included the lander (Vikram) and the rover (Pragyan), soft-landed on the southern polar region of the Moon.

The Chandrayaan-3 mission’s successful soft landing was announced by ISRO in a unique way on social media. “India, I have reached my destination, and you too!” the ISRO wrote. Chandrayaan-3. Chandrayaan-3 achieved success. Congratulations to India on a safe lunar landing!
