This was the first developmental flight of the GSLV Mk.I featuring Russian cryogenic engine KVD-1.It was used to place an experimental satellite GSAT-1 into the orbit. . However, due to sub-optimal performance and lack of fuel the vehicle did not achieve the intended orbit and the satellite had to maneuver itself using onboard fuel to correct the sho
The Megha-Tropiques satellite for climate research launched along with three microsatellites: SRMSAT, the remote sensing satellite Jugnu and the VesselSat-1 to locate ships on high seas. [22] [23] 18 26 April 2012 PSLV-XL: C19 Success Radar Imaging Satellite-1 (RISAT-1) launched. [24] 19 9 September 2012 PSLV-CA: C21 Success ISRO's 100th ...
The X-ray Polarimeter Satellite (XPoSat) is a ISRO space observatory to study polarization of cosmic X-rays. It was launched on 1 January 2024 on a Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle ( PSLV-C58 ). [ 13 ] [ 14 ] XPoSat will study the 50 brightest known sources in the universe, including pulsars , black hole X-ray binaries , active galactic nuclei ...
The 135 kg EOS 02, an Earth observation satellite and the 8 kg AzaadiSAT CubeSat. [ 2 ] [ 3 ] [ 4 ] Due to sensor failure coupled with shortcomings of onboard software, the stage as well as the two satellite payloads were injected into an unstable transatmospheric Earth orbit measuring 356×76 km and subsequently destroyed upon reentry.
ISRO's workhorse, the PSLV, became the mainstay for successful launches of indigenous satellites from India during this decade. India successfully launched 11 geostationary or geosynchronous satellites during this period, which was equal to the total number of similar launches in the previous 2 decades put together.
The spacecraft was launched on the third and final test flight of the Small Satellite Launch Vehicle .The launch was postponded from August 15 [2] and finally took place on August 16, 2024. [ 3 ] Three days after launch on August 19, the EIOR instrument sent back its first data, captureing high-resolution thermal images of pune city and of the ...
Launched 10 days after the successful landing of ISRO's Moon mission, Chandrayaan-3, this mission carried the Aditya-L1 Mission satellite, the first Indian satellite dedicated to studying the Sun. Launch was successful and achieved its intended orbit nearly an hour later, and separated from its fourth stage. [37]
To mark the occasion ISRO launched a RH-200 Rohini Sounding Rocket from the launch complex at 13:40 (IST) on 28 February 2024. This was the first rocket launch from the spaceport. VSSC provided the rocket and the meteorological payload, while SDSC installed launch facilities including radars, launchers, and electronic systems. [31] [32]
