ISRO Successfully Launches ESA’s Proba-3 Satellites, Advancing Solar Research

In a major milestone for space exploration, the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) successfully launched the European Space Agency’s (ESA) Proba-3 satellites aboard the PSLV-C59 rocket. This groundbreaking mission, a collaboration between ISRO and ESA, is expected to revolutionize the study of the Sun's corona and solar wind, marking a new chapter in solar physics. Proba-3 focuses on the Sun's corona, the outermost layer of the Sun's atmosphere that is inexplicably hotter than its surface. The mission aims to analyze the solar wind a stream of charged particles emitted by the Sun and its impact on space weather conditions. Former ISRO scientist PV Venkitakrishnan highlighted that Proba-3’s advanced design will replicate the effects of a total solar eclipse, offering continuous ob...

ISRO Successfully Launches PROBA-3 Satellite for European Space Agency

Breaking News, Space, Tech

In a significant achievement, the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) successfully launched the European Space Agency’s (ESA) PROBA-3 satellite aboard its trusted Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV-C59) on its 61st commercial mission. The launch signifies another milestone in India’s growing prominence in the global space sector and highlights international collaboration in cutting-edge space exploration. PROBA-3, short for Project for Onboard Anatomy, is a groundbreaking solar mission by the ESA. The mission is specifically designed to study the Sun's corona, the outermost layer of the Sun's atmosphere, with unprecedented precision. The mission consists of two spacecraft, each designed to perform a unique and interdependent role. The Coronagraph Spacecraft (CSC), weighing 31...

Japan Unveils World’s First Wooden Satellite to Launch on SpaceX Rocket

Breaking News, Environment, Space

Kyoto: In a groundbreaking achievement, Japanese researchers have developed the world's first wooden satellite. The innovative cuboid craft, designed by scientists at Kyoto University in collaboration with Sumitomo Forestry, is scheduled to be launched aboard a SpaceX rocket in September. Measuring just 10 centimeters (four inches) per side, the experimental satellite, named LignoSat, aims to test the feasibility of using wood as a primary material in space technology. This initiative is driven by environmental concerns, as the wooden satellite is expected to burn up entirely upon re-entry into Earth's atmosphere, thereby eliminating the risk of creating harmful metal particles that could affect the environment and telecommunications. Key Features and Launch Details The satellit...

ISRO Set to Launch INSAT-3DS Satellite for Enhanced Meteorological Observations

Breaking News, Environment, Learning & Developments

The Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) is gearing up for the launch of its latest meteorological satellite, INSAT-3DS, on February 17. Scheduled to be deployed aboard a Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle F14 (GSLV F14), the mission aims to bolster meteorological observations, leading to improved weather forecasting and disaster warning capabilities. In a statement released on Thursday, ISRO announced that the GSLV-F14/INSAT-3DS mission is set to lift off from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre (SDSC) SHAR at Sriharikota at 5:30 pm. This mission marks the 16th flight of the GSLV and is intended to place the INSAT-3DS meteorological satellite into the Geosynchronous Transfer Orbit (GTO). Subsequent maneuvers will position the satellite into a Geo-Stationary Orbit. Designed t...
