Live Hindi News :- From 1969 to August 2024, the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) has launched 97 rockets into space. ISRO has launched 126 Indian spacecraft, including satellites built by 18 Indian academic institutions and private companies. It has also launched 432 spacecraft from 34 countries. In addition, Agniban has helped Skyroot launch flights under its Prarambh programme.
# Remote sensing satellites for locating natural resources.
# Satellites that monitor weather such as ocean temperatures, storms etc.
# Earth observation satellites, including disaster monitoring.
# Communication satellite.
# ISRO has designed and built various satellites like Chandrayaan spacecraft for space exploration, Mangalyaan spacecraft, Aditya for solar exploration, Astrosat space telescope.
Currently ISRO has four types of Everti including Terminal Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV), Earth Reclining Satellite Launch Vehicle Mark III (LVM3), Small Satellite Launch Vehicle (SSLV), Manned Space Everti.
Major Milestones: ISRO was established in 1969. ISRO was initially involved in the development of spacecraft capable of launching satellites. Later it focused on the design and manufacture of telecommunication, telemetry and earth observation satellites essential for the development of the country.
April 19, 1975: India-built Aryabhatta satellite was launched with the help of the Soviet Union.
May 31, 1981: ISRO's SLV-3D1 spacecraft successfully launched the indigenously built 35-kg earth observation Rohini satellite.
May 20, 1992: The Gamma Ray Probe spacecraft was successfully launched by ASLV, the successor of SLV.
May 21, 1996: Remote sensing and X-ray astronomy satellite IRS-P3 was launched by PSLV-D3. From then till January 2024, out of 60 launches, 57 have been successful, 2 unsuccessful and one partially successful.
April 18, 2001: Communication satellite GSAT-1 was launched by GSLV-D1. As of February 2024, 16 launch attempts in two designs GSLV MkI and GSLV MkII have been successful, 4 failed and 2 partially successful. This aircraft is no longer in use.
22 October 2008: Chandrayaan-1 launched towards the moon. On 14 November 2008, the lander separated from it and crashed into the lunar surface. The spacecraft, which operated for 312 days, was the first spacecraft to confirm the existence of water on the moon.
November 5, 2013: Mars Orbiter Mission Mangalyaan successfully reached Mars on September 24, 2014, and began orbiting as a satellite. The spacecraft, which operated flawlessly until October 2, 2022, studied a number of phenomena on Mars, including dust storms.
December 18, 2014: GSLV MkIII, LVM3, a test spacecraft required for the Chandrayaan project, was successfully launched by AV. This was followed by the successful launch of communication satellite GSAT-19 on June 05, 2017. A total of seven launches of LVM3 have been successful so far. This spacecraft was used in the Chandrayaan project.
September 28, 2015: AstroSat space telescope launched.
July 22, 2019: Chandrayaan-2 launched towards the Moon. On September 6, 2019, during landing, the landing cell got damaged due to a collision while repairing the spacecraft.
February 10, 2023: Small satellite launch vehicle SSLV-D2 successfully launched three small satellites, EOS-07, Janus-1 and Azadisat-2. Including the last August 16 attempt, the aircraft has been successfully launched twice out of three launches so far.
July 14, 2023: Chandrayaan-3 successfully landed on the Moon on August 23, 2023. Both the lander and the rover operated successfully for 14 days and conducted various studies including lunar vibrations.
September 2, 2023: Aditya-L1 is launched on January 6, 2024 and deployed at L1, studying the Sun.
future plans
# Scramjet is a modern two-stage space shuttle with a ramjet engine.
# Improved LVM 3 rocket design and multi-purpose vehicle (ULV) production.
# Development of ion engines to propel spacecraft in space.
# More accurate lunar landing cell production with advanced artificial intelligence.
(India's National Space Day is to be celebrated on August 23. The day was celebrated to commemorate the successful landing of Chandrayaan-3 on the Moon in 2023.)
