ISRO’s Aditya L-1 Mission: A paradigm of precision and fiscal wisdom

[ad_1] The Indian Space Research Organisation's (ISRO) Aditya L-1 mission has carved out a new chapter in the annals of space exploration, exemplifying innovation and cost-effectiveness. As India's first mission to study the Sun, it has redefined what is possible with meticulous planning and execution.ISRO embarked on a mission that was unprecedented in its history: placing a satellite in a halo orbit around the Lagrange Point 1 (L1)—a position in space devoid of any physical reference, navigated purely by mathematical calculations and software algorithms. This space point offers a stable platform for monitoring solar activities, and Aditya L-1's successful insertion here is a crowning achievement that speaks to ISRO's growing capabilities in space technology. The journey began on Septe...

What is Square Kilometre Array, the world’s largest radio telescope and India’s critical role in it

[ad_1] India is increasingly and rapidly stepping up its game in space missions and discoveries. With a number of new upcoming missions planned by the space agency, the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO), India has also laid out its investment plans for a monetary contribution to the international astronomical collaboration project, which includes over 16 nations. The collaboration between the nations will be developing the world's largest radio telescope called the Square Kilometre Array (SKA), which will be responsible for studying galaxies present in the universe. Additionally, it aims to make available the data as to evolution of our galaxy. Know what the project is about and how and when it will be ready to conduct research.About Square Kilometre Array (SKA)According to a re...

PSLV-C58 XPoSat Mission launch: 10 things to know about this successful ISRO space odyssey

[ad_1] In yet another proud moment for India, the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) has powered another amazing mission to a successful conclusion. Dubbed the PSLV-C58 XPoSat Mission, ISRO launched the rocket and got the satellite into place exactly where it was required. While the XPoSat satellite is the most important part of the entire mission, all the hard work involved in boosting it into space in the correct orbit depended on just one thing - the PSLV-C58 rocket system, which has not been just successful, it is also very cheap when compared to other rocket systems from the US space agency, the National Aeronautics Space Administration (NASA). This success comes quickly on the heels of ISRO having successfully launched two historic missions in 2023 - the Chandrayaan-3 missi...

XPoSat Mission launch: ISRO to start 2024 with a bang after Chandrayaan-3 mission, Aditya-L1 mission triumphs

[ad_1] PSLV-C58 XPoSat Mission launch: Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) may have ended 2023 with historic successes like Chandrayaan-3 mission, when it landed a lander and a rover on the dark side of the moon  and the Aditya-L1 mission, which is well on its way to its parking slot at Lagrange L1 point to watch the Sun, but it is not sitting on its laurels and is all set to usher in the new year with a bang! On January 1, 2024, the Indian space agency has slated the launch for its next ambitious project, the PSLV-C58 XPoSat Mission launch. PSLV-C58 XPoSat Mission launch scheduleThe PSLV-C58 XPoSat mission launch is scheduled at 09:10 IST on Monday from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota. The 25-hour countdown commenced on Sunday for the lift-off scheduled at 9.10 am f...

Large parts of world admired India’s successful Chandrayaan-3 mission, says Jaishankar

[ad_1] The successful soft landing of India's ambitious Chandrayaan-3 mission on the lunar south pole was admired by a large part of the world, External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar said on Friday. India's strategy is to maximise the opportunities and minimise the risks as technology holds immense potential for leapfrogging development, he said at an event. "I was at the BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa) meeting accompanying the prime minister (Narendra Modi) when the Chandrayaan-3 (mission) successfully landed on the moon," the former bureaucrat said.

ISRO’s Chandrayaan-4 mission to unlock amazing new avenues for space research by India

[ad_1] In space exploration, where meticulous planning is the norm, objectives set the course for any mission. However, the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) has recently demonstrated a remarkable ability to not only meet but exceed its mission objectives, especially with the Chandrayaan-3 mission. There was a time when GSLV Mk II of ISRO saw 4 failures and 2 partial failures out of a total of 16 launches and cartoons depicted ISRO's efforts humorously, showing established space powers in an "ELITE SPACE CLUB" and a figure labeled 'INDIA' knocking at their door, accompanied by a bull. However, ISRO has dramatically reshaped its reputation. GSLV Mk III (renamed LVM3) is riding on the undisputed success of 7 out of 7 launches propelling India into the forefront of space-faring nat...

ISRO focus is on Gaganyaan mission, send Indian to space, says S Somanath

[ad_1] On Wednesday, S Somanath, the chairman of the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO), emphasised that while the organisation is actively pursuing various targets, the immediate and primary focus remains on Gaganyaan mission- the nation's inaugural human space flight program. Speaking on the sidelines of the 2023 Global Energy Parliament in Kolkata, Somanath stated, "There are many [targets]. It is not one target. But our primary target is Gaganyaan now. Send an Indian to space and bring them back safely. This is our immediate big-ticket target."The Gaganyaan mission is ambitiously set to launch humans into space, positioning them in a low earth orbit at an altitude of 400 kilometres for a three-day mission scheduled for 2025.

Historic! New ISRO mission will bring Moon soil samples from Shiv Shakti point to Earth

[ad_1] In a groundbreaking venture, the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) is gearing up for its inaugural attempt to collect soil or rock samples from the Moon and transport them to Earth. Termed the Lunar Sample Return Mission (LSRM), this ambitious project signals a significant leap for India's space exploration endeavours.Nilesh Desai, Director of the Space Application Centre (SAC) at ISRO, shared insights into the mission, stating, "ISRO is now planning a bigger mission, where we will try to bring back soil or rock samples. Hopefully, in the next five to seven years, we will be able to meet this challenge," as reported by the Indian Express. The LSRM comprises four key modules: the Transfer module, Lander module, Ascender module, and Re-entry module. Notably, this mission wi...

Aditya-L1 mission: Key points awaits, says ISRO chief

[ad_1] The head of the Indian Space and Research Organisation (ISRO), S. Somanath, has announced that the Aditya-L1 mission spacecraft, India's first solar mission, is set to reach Lagrange Point 1 (L1) by mid-January. The spacecraft is currently on a 110-day journey from Earth to reach its destination and then to spy on the Sun.ISRO Chief S. Somanath shared this exciting news while speaking with reporters in Tamil Nadu's Madurai. "Right now, it takes nearly 110 days to travel from Earth to the L1 point," he explained. So, by the middle of January, it will arrive at the L1 point. He also mentioned that once it reaches the L1 point, they will perform an insertion into the Lagrange Point, known as the halo orbit, which is a large, circular path, ANI reported.

What makes Aditya-L1 mission by ISRO different from Parker Solar Probe by NASA?

[ad_1] On September 2, 2023, the Indian Space Research Organization launched its first Sun-studying project. Called the Aditya-L1 mission, the objectives include settling the spacecraft at around 1.5 million kilometres away from Earth in a specific place called L1 point to keep an uninterrupted eye on the Sun. The Parker Solar Probe by NASA, on the other hand, was launched on August 12, 2018, and has been getting up really close and personal with the Sun.Aditya-L1 mission vs Parker Solar ProbeAditya-L1 mission by ISRO is India's first Sun-studying mission, that expected to work for at least five years. It will go into a halo orbit around the Lagrange point 1 (L1) of the Sun-Earth system, located about 1.5 million km from Earth. NASA's Parker Solar Probe is a super-fast spacecraft, trave...
