As per the reports, the new mission comes with a mark of the first dedicated polarimetry mission and the world's second, after following NASA’s Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE) which was launched in 2021.
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.
ISRO's space achievements: Chandrayaan-3 successfully soft-landed on Moon’s south pole on August 23. India became 1st country to softly land a spacecraft on lunar south pole, and 4th country to achieve a soft landing on Moon, after US, the Soviet Union, and China.
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.
PM Modi on Chandrayaan-3: On August 23, the Vikram lander made its historic touchdown on the Moon and subsequently, the Pragyan rover was deployed. The scientific instruments in the lander and rover were operated continuously for one lunar day as per the defined mission life.
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.
Rakesh Sharma went on to become the first Indian citizen to reach outer space on April 2, 1984, when he flew aboard the Soviet rocket Soyuz T-11 launched from Kazakhstan's Baikonur Cosmodrome. Nelson is on his maiden visit to India to oversee the NASA-ISRO Synthetic Aperture Radar (NISAR).
Union Minister Jitendra Singh said that at present India's space economy is just about USD 8 million, which is predicted to rise up to USD 40 billion by 2040.
In an official statement of ISRO, it said that it was within 124 days (within a span of almost 6 months from the time of launch) when the rocket body part- NORAD id 57321 re-entered the earth’s 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.
The NISAR mission is to carry on the promise of significantly advancing our understanding of the earth's dynamics, natural processes and climate change impacts. The collaboration of ISRO and NASA is a remarkable joint effort for international cooperation.
ISRO VSSC Recruitment 2023 online applications have been started at the official website, isro.gov.in. Candidates holding the required qualifications and experience can submit applications online on or before November 27. Check qualification, experience, selection criteria and other details below.
Chandrayaan-3 made a soft landing on the moon on August 23, scripting history and becoming only the fourth country to do so. India's solar mission Aditya L1 was launched on September 2 this year.
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.
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.
