ISRO forms panel to probe PSLV mission failure to place EOS-09 satellite in orbit | Latest News India

Published by Parlour News

ISRO has formed a committee to investigate the incident in which a PSLV rocket failed to place an Earth observation satellite (EOS-09) into its intended orbit, Chairman V Narayanan said on Sunday. PSLV-C61 mission was not accomplished after it encountered an anomaly in the third stage. (X/ISRO) The committee has held several rounds of discussions to identify the cause, he added. Earlier in the day, ISRO failed to place its Earth observation satellite in orbit after the trusted PSLV rocket developed a fault minutes after launch from Sriharikota, about 135 km from here. “Today, we had the 101st mission from Sriharikota. The rocket is a four-stage vehicle. The first stage comprises a 134-tonne solid propulsion system and has six strap-on motors, each holding 12 tonne of propellant. The second stage has a 40-tonne liquid propulsion system, the third stage an 8-tonne solid propulsion system, and the fourth stage again uses liquid propulsion. These four stages must work in tandem to place a satellite into orbit,” Narayanan explained. After a 22-hour countdown, the rocket lifted off …

ISRO earlier said, EOS-09 equipped with its payload- Synthetic Aperture Radar- has been designed to provide continuous and reliable remote sensing data for operational applications across sectors. Sriharikota (AP): A PSLV-C61 rocket carrying the Earth observation satellite EOS-09 lifted off from the spaceport Sriharikota early on Sunday (May 18). As per ISRO reports, the mission was not successful as there was a technical glitch in the performance of the third stage, due to which the mission could not succeed. On the launch of PSLV-C61, ISRO chief Dr V Narayanan said, “EOS-09 mission could not be accomplished, and we will come back after analysis.” During the functioning of the third stage, we are seeing an observation, and the mission could not be accomplished. After analysis, we shall come back., said ISRO.  ISRO posted on X and said, “Today 101st launch was attempted, PSLV-C61 performance was normal till the 2nd stage. Due to an observation in the 3rd stage, the mission could not be accomplished.” Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) launched PSLV-C61, which carries the EOS-09 (Earth …

The session was anchored by Anonna Dutt, Principal Correspondent, The Indian Express SpaDeX is a reflection of the advancements in the last few years and the kind of missions in the pipeline. We are planning Ganganyaan and Chandrayaan-4 and an international space station called the Bharatiya Antariksh Station in the coming years. We are now also generating revenue from launching foreign spaceships, even though that facility was available earlier. Till now, we have launched about 433 foreign satellites. Out of them, as much as 396 have happened only in the last 10 years. That’s generated a huge amount of revenue — almost to the tune of $157 million and € 260 million (2014-23). Our first-generation startups have turned into lucrative entrepreneurs. India was never taken seriously as far as our space capabilities were concerned.

Image Source : ISRO (X) Centre approves to build 3rd launch pad at Sriharikota. Ahead of the upcoming space missions, the Union Cabinet, chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, on Thursday (January 16) approved the establishment of the Third Launch Pad (TLP) at Satish Dhawan Space Centre of ISRO at Sriharikota, Andhra Pradesh. The launch pad is expected to be developed at a cost of Rs 3,984.86 crore in the coming four years. While India currently has two launch pads, it cannot support the new generation of heavier launch vehicles- critical for upcoming space missions including the Bharatiya Antariksh Station (BAS) by 2035 and an Indian Crewed Lunar Landing by 2040. The Third Launch Pad project envisages the establishment of the launch infrastructure at Sriharikota, Andhra Pradesh, for the Next Generation Launch Vehicles of ISRO and also to support the second launch pad at Sriharikota as a standby launch pad. This will also enhance the launch capacity for future Indian human spaceflight missions. TLP Project, which is of national importance, is designed to have a …

The Union Cabinet, headed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, on Thursday approved the setting up of a third launch pad (TLP) at the Satish Dhawan Space Center in Sriharikota, Andhra Pradesh. This important project aims to complement ISRO’s Next Generation Launch Vehicles (NGLV) and serve as a backup to the existing Second Launch Pad (SLP). The TLP will also enhance India’s capabilities for future human spaceflight and exploration missions. ​ Project overview and strategic importance The third launch pad will have universal and scalable systems capable of supporting NGLVs, LVM3 vehicles with semi-cryogenic stages, and scaled-up configurations of NGLVs. The project will see greater industry involvement and leverage ISRO’s experience, taking advantage of the availability of the first launch using existing facilities at the Sriharikota launch complex. The launch pad is expected to be operational within 48 months, making it ready for the next 25–30 years to meet India’s expanding spaceflight needs. …

New: The skies over Sriharikota, Andhra Pradesh, were lit up at 10 pm today with the 62nd launch of the PSLV. The 25-hour countdown which started on Sunday, ended with the rocket lifting off from the First Launch Pad at this spaceport, exuding blinding orange fumes that streaked through the night sky. Within 15 minutes, it placed the twin space docking satellites into space.  Amid much applause, Dr S Somanath, chairman of ISRO (Indian Space Research Organisation) announced that they have got the “right orbit”.  The last stage of the launch vehicle was continuing to work to lower its orbit for the POEM (PS4-Orbital Experiment Module), which would conduct tests in the vacuum of space.  ISRO has announced that the space docking experiment will most likely take place on January 7. The two satellites will be mated in space when they would be travelling at ten times the velocity of a bullet.  The Spacecraft A (SDX01) or the ‘Chaser’ and Spacecraft B (SDX02) or the ‘Target’ would be merged together at an altitude of about …

The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) has scheduled the launch of the PSLV-C59 rocket carrying the Proba-3 spacecraft for December 4, 2024, at 4:08 PM IST, as per reports. The mission, a dedicated commercial venture of NewSpace India Limited (NSIL), will take off from the First Launch Pad at the Satish Dhawan Space Centre, Sriharikota. According to reports, this will mark the 61st mission of the Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV) and the 21st use of its XL configuration. Mission Overview As per sources, Proba-3, a project developed by the European Space Agency (ESA), is an In-Orbit Demonstration (IOD) mission aimed at showcasing precision formation flying. The spacecraft consists of two components: the Coronagraph Spacecraft (CSC) and the Occulter Spacecraft (OSC). These satellites, launched in a stacked arrangement, will operate in tandem, maintaining a precise distance of 150 meters. The innovative configuration will enable the creation of artificial solar eclipses, allowing extended observation of the Sun’s corona. Scientific Objectives Reports indicate that the mission’s primary objective is to explore the Sun’s corona, the outermost layer …
