ISRO’s plans to revolutionize space missions with advanced launch vehicles

[ad_1] The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO), known for its cost-effective and reliable space missions, is poised to take a significant leap forward with its upcoming advanced launch vehicles. These developments promise to enhance payload capacities and introduce reusability, marking a new era in space exploration and satellite deployment. Before delving into the technical advancements of these launch vehicles, it's crucial to understand what happens during a satellite launch. The process begins with the rocket, consisting of various components such as the payload (the satellite), propulsion modules (fuel tanks and engines), and multiple stages that are designed to separate during ascent. As the rocket's engines ignite, it ascends, shedding weight by jettisoning its spent stages...

Aditya-L1 mission: ISRO fixes course of spacecraft rocketing towards the Sun

[ad_1] India's first solar space observatory, Aditya-L1, is now on its way to the Sun-Earth Lagrange Point-1 (L1), which is about 1.5 million kilometers away from Earth. Aditya-L1 mission has gone off perfectly and it is expected to make yet another amazing achievement for India and ISRO scientists. But before reaching its destination, ISRO had to make a small adjustment in the path of the Aditya-L1 mission spacecraft.Recently, Aditya-L1 mission spacecraft performed a Trajectory Correction Maneuver (TCM) on October 6. This maneuver was necessary to make sure Aditya-L1 stay on the right course after a previous operation called Trans-Lagrangian Point-1 Insertion (TL1I), which happened on September 19, 2023.
