Space missions are becoming more interconnected and NASA's Space Security Best Practices Guide represents a crucial milestone when it comes to the agency's commitment towards ensuring the longevity and resilience of space missions.
As Aditya L1 has been approaching its target, the ISRO team remains vigilant, which will be prepared to navigate the complexities of space travel. The success of this insertion not only signifies ISRO's capabilities but it promises new insights into solar mysteries and their impact on space weather.
Aditya L1 mission: Aditya L1 was successfully launched on Sept 2 from Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota. The spacecraft, after travelling about 1.5 million km from Earth over 125 days, is expected to be placed in a Halo orbit around the Lagrangian point L1, considered closest to the Sun.
Chandrayaan-3 was India's third mission to the moon, and the second attempt to carry out a soft-landing on the lunar surface. ISRO managed to place the Vikram lander on the lunar surface and roll out the robotic rover, Pragyaan.
Dr. Jitendra Singh highlighted India's space sector growth, projecting the space economy to reach $40 billion by 2040. He credited PM Modi's reforms for the surge in startups, exceeding 190, with over Rs. 1,000 crore private investment since April.
The PSLV C57 rocket carrying the Aditya-L1 orbiter, lifted off successfully from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota, Andhra Pradesh on September 2.
The images include the first-ever full-disk representations of the Sun in wavelengths ranging from 200 to 400 nm.
Chandrayaan-3 Propulsion Module: It was decided to use the available fuel in the Propulsion Module to derive additional information for future lunar missions and demonstrate the mission operation strategies for a sample return mission, ISRO said.
Aditya-L1 Mission: The launch of Aditya-L1 by PSLV-C57 rocket was successfully accomplished by ISRO on September 2. Aditya-L1 spacecraft carries a total of seven different payloads to study the Sun.
The study highlights the brain's remarkable adaptability in blind individuals, showcasing its ability to recognise faces through alternative sensory channels and contributing valuable insights into neuroplasticity and sensory compensation.
SpaceX aimed for an altitude of 150 miles (240 kilometers), just high enough to send the bullet-shaped spacecraft around the globe before ditching into the Pacific near Hawaii about 1 1/2 hours after liftoff, short of a full orbit.
The NASA-ISRO Synthetic Aperture Radar (NISAR) is likely to be launched in January 2024 from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota. The mission has a three-year duration and aims to survey the entire Earth's land and ice-covered surfaces every 12 days.
Weather attribution analysis reveals that during the 12-month span, 5.7 billion people were exposed to at least 30 days of above-average temperatures made at least three times more likely by the influence of climate change, or level-three on Climate Central's Climate Shift Index.
Launched from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota on September 2, 2023, the Aditya-L1 mission aims to provide comprehensive insights into the sun's dynamics and its impact on Earth's climate.
Earlier, NASA's Lucy spacecraft on Wednesday (November 1) encountered the first of 10 asteroids on its long journey to Jupiter. The spacecraft swooped past the pint-sized Dinkinesh, about 300 million miles (480 million kilometers) away in the main asteroid belt beyond Mars.
Lucy, unlike other missions, will not be stopping to collect samples of the asteroids on the way of her destinations.
According to the space agency, the lander also blasted off over an area of 108.4 m² (metre square) around the landing site. The Vikram lander of the Chandrayaan-3 mission landed near the south pole of the Moon on August 23, 2023.
The ISRO on October 21 launched the test vehicle which carried payloads related to India’s ambitious human space flight mission Gaganyaan which successfully splashed into the sea later as planned.
Pancreatic Cancer (PDAC) is the fourth dominant cause of deaths due to cancer worldwide and is projected to be the second in 10 years time.
Gaganyaan mission: The Gaganyaan project envisages a demonstration of human spaceflight capability by launching a crew of three members into an orbit of 400 km for a 3-day mission and bringing them safely back to earth by landing in Indian waters.
