Live Hindi News :- 'Space Zone India' company has developed a new type of rocket that returns to Earth after launching satellites. This rocket is going to be launched near Chennai on the 24th with 3 small satellites. 'Space Zone India' company, operating in Kelambakkam next to Chennai, provides training on rocket and satellite design to school students and is engaged in designing and launching rockets and satellites. In such a situation, the company has designed a mini rocket named 'Rumi' to return to Earth after launching the satellite.
It was born out of one and a half year of work of various technical experts under the guidance of former ISRO scientists with CSR funding from Martin Group. It weighs around 80 kg. It is noteworthy that about 6,000 school students were involved in assembling the components for this rocket. The 'Rumi' rocket will be launched on the 24th (Saturday) at 7 am with 3 cube satellites and 50 different probes to help collect data related to climate, cosmic radiation, ultraviolet radiation and air quality. It will be launched from Chennai Kelambakkam East Coast Road between 7:45 pm and 7:45 pm.
The three satellites will be located at a maximum distance of 80 km from the earth and will be brought back to earth by an attached parachute. The announcement related to this new rocket program was made by former ISRO director Mylswamy Annadurai, Space Zone India founder and CEO Anand Meghalingam, Martin Group of Companies managing director Jose Charles Martin at a press conference held in Chennai on Wednesday.
Scientist Mylswamy Annadurai said, “Today the private sector has also joined the government sector in the space industry. Usually the life of a rocket ends after launching satellites into a certain orbit. But a new initiative is that a rocket has been developed to launch satellites and bring them back to Earth. This is the next step in rocket production,” he said.
Anand Megalingam said, “Launching satellites with a reusable rocket will save costs. The environmental impact will be reduced. We are going to launch this rocket through a mobile launchpad. This mobile launcher can be adjusted at any angle from zero degrees to 120 degrees. After launching 3 satellites at a certain distance, it will come back to earth with the help of its parachute. That rocket can be reused. It is also environmentally friendly. We plan to launch 12 satellites per year.”
According to Jose Charles Martin, “Space Zone India has started a scheme to launch rockets at a low cost whereas launching a rocket costs crores. The institute trains school students in rocket and satellite design. In this way, we are happy that we have helped about 6 thousand students to benefit from this scheme,” he said.
