IMD looks to transform weather prediction accuracy with 85 radars and ISRO satellite

[ad_1] In a groundbreaking stride towards precision weather forecasting, the India Meteorological Department (IMD) is set to deploy 85 radars across the nation, with an additional boost from the recently launched ISRO satellite to amplify prediction capabilities. IMD Director General M Mohapatra, speaking on Wednesday, highlighted the remarkable accuracy of IMD's predictions, notably foreseeing the impact of last year's El Nino on the monsoon. Despite the challenge, IMD's predictions stood unrivalled, accurately anticipating the rainfall patterns."There is no one to compete with IMD now. There was no match for our forecast of the 2023 monsoon," declared Mohapatra. The forecast translated into a successful outcome for the nation, witnessing a bountiful harvest and a stable economy, the T...

NASA and ISRO satellite to watch the Earth gets one step closer to launch

[ad_1] NISAR, short for NASA-ISRO Synthetic Aperture Radar, is all set to ship out to its last stop before launching into orbit. Before its departure, members of the media got a chance to see NISAR's advanced radar instruments up close on February 3 in a clean room at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in Southern California. "It's nearly time for the scientific heart of NISAR – short for NASA-ISRO Synthetic Aperture Radar – an Earth science satellite being jointly built by NASA and the Indian Space Research Organisation, to ship out to its last stop before launching into orbit: southern India," NASA said in a report. “This marks an important milestone in our shared journey to better understand planet Earth and our changing climate,” JPL Director Laurie Leshin said. “NIS...

EOS-06 satellite has started serving images: ISRO

[ad_1] The images were captured by the Ocean Color Monitor (OCM) and Sea Surface Temperature Monitor (SSTM) Sensors, ISRO informed. The EOS-06 satellite, which was launched along with eight more nanosatellites by PSLV-C54 on Saturday, has started serving images, Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) said in a statement on Wednesday. The first images have been received on Tuesday, at National Remote Sensing Centre (NRSC). The images were of Shadnagar covering the Himalayan region, Gujarat Kutch region, and the Arabian Sea. The images were captured by the Ocean Color Monitor (OCM) and Sea Surface Temperature Monitor (SSTM) Sensors, ISRO informed. "EOS-06 commenced serving the images. First-day images received on Nov 29, 2022, at NRSC, Shadnagar cover the Himalayan region, Guj...

Earth observation satellite in orbit, ISRO terms mission ‘unique’

[ad_1] PSLV-C54 successfully placed the Earth Observation Satellite (Oceansat) and eight other customer satellites into sun-synchronous orbits, ISRO said. The India Space Research Organisation's trusted workhorse PSLV on Saturday successfully injected an Earth Observation Satellite and eight other co-passenger satellites in multiple orbits, calling the mission 'unique'. PSLV-C54 successfully placed the Earth Observation Satellite (Oceansat) and eight other customer satellites into sun-synchronous orbits, ISRO said. "PSLV-C54/EOS-06 Mission is accomplished. The remaining satellites have all been injected into their intended orbits," it said in a tweet. The mission, which was PSLV's 56th flight, is said to be one of the longest ones undertaken by the Bengaluru-headquartered space...

ISRO RISAT-2 satellite makes uncontrolled reentry into Earth’s atmosphere

[ad_1] Weighing only about 300 kg, the satellite made an uncontrolled re-entry into the Earth's atmosphere at the predicted impact point. RISAT-2, launched by Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) in 2009, made an uncontrolled re-entry into the Earth's atmosphere at the predicted impact point. Weighing only about 300 kg, the satellite made an uncontrolled re-entry into the Earth's atmosphere at the predicted impact point in Indian Ocean near Jakarta on October 30, ISRO said. RISAT-2 Satellite carried 30 Kg fuel for an initial designed life of four years. "With the proper maintenance of orbit and mission planning by the spacecraft operations team in ISRO, by economical usage of fuel RISAT-2 provided very useful payload data for 13 years", the national space agency headquartered ...
