Proud moment for Indian Space agency's. The Indian Space & Research Organization (ISRO) successfully launched the Earth Observation Satellite (EOS-04) onboard the Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle. The launch carried two other rideshare satellites into orbit as the Indian space agency set in motion work. In 2022 the plans of ISRO are quite huge.
The launch was conducted from SAR in Sriharikota to deploy EOS-04 in the Sun-Synchronous Orbit nearly 529 KM above the planet. The four-stage rocket lifted off with a student satellite INSPIRE Sat and a spacecraft dubbed INSAT-2DT that is a precursor of a joint India-Bhutan mission in the future. This project mission may benefit to Bhutan as well as Indian sub-region in East.
The Earth Observation Satellite-04 is also called Radar Imaging Satellite (RISAT) that has been designed to provide high-quality images under all weather conditions for applications such as agriculture, forestry, and plantations, flood mapping, soil moisture & hydrology. The spacecraft will collect observation data in C-Band completing the observations done by Resource sat, Carto sat, and RISAT-2B series. This satellite have life of decade in future.
The 8.1-KG student satellite dubbed INSPIRESat-1 has been developed by the Indian Institute of Space Science & Technology in association with the Laboratory of Atmospheric & Space Physics at the University of Colorado. The satellite will aim at improving our understanding of the ionosphere dynamics and the sun's coronal heating process. Its operational lifetime is set for a year. This system will provide accurate weather changes.
The first launch of 2022 has set in motion Isro’s plans to conduct 18 other missions this year, including high profile launch of Chandrayaan-3 to the Moon and the much-awaited unscrewed launch of the country’s Gaganyaan mission. ISRO successfully launching satellites will help in future and can provide helps to many other Large Space Stations.
The 54th mission of India’s workhorse PSLV saw the launcher
climb up in the SSO. The space agency plans to conduct the PSLV-C53 mission in
March, which will carry OCEANSAT-3 and INS 2B ANAND into orbit.
ISRO chief S Somnath had earlier said that the agency conduct five major satellite launches in the coming three months and a total of 19 missions this year.
Great to see ....
