The January Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) may have taken 46 years to achieve the goal of completing its 100 mission, but the country’s space agency is now confident of completing its next century in the next five years.
ISRO successfully launched an advanced navigation satellite under its historic 100th mission on Wednesday. The launch, which was launched in the early hours of Wednesday, is the first mission under the leadership of ISRO President V Narayanan. He took over on 13 January. Apart from this, it is ISRO’s first mission in 2025.
Narayanan expressed confidence that the space agency could cross the 200 mission figure in the next five years. Asked if it is possible to launch 100 more in the next five years, Narayanan replied in ‘yes’. He said in detail, “You are asking the correct question. This is possible. ”
ISRO has made a journey from the era to one of the world’s major space agencies of taking the parts of rocket to bicycles and bullock carts, creating history. Now ISRO is also making commercial launch for foreign vendors.
ISRO is part of the specific league of the agency whose Chandra and Surya Missions have been successful. ISRO has so far developed six generations of launch vehicles, the first generation took shape under the guidance of Professor Satish Dhawan in 1979 and was former President APJ Abdul Kalam Project Director. It was SLV-3E1/Rohini Technology payload.
Narayanan said that after 46 years, ISRO took 548 satellites to classes during the journey to achieve the target of the 100th mission. He also spoke to reporters on future mission after the success of the 100th mission.
Combined effort with ISRO’s US space agency NASA- Nisar (NISAR) is likely to launch in a few months under the mission. The projects launched by the Space Agency currently include NGLV.
Space Department Secretary Narayanan said that the ‘Synthetic Aperture Radar Satellite Mission’ (Nisar) is expected to be launched in the next few months in the next few months. He said, “This is a joint collaborative campaign of NASA and ISRO. It has two radars – L band radar (developed by ISRO) and S Band Radar, which has been developed by NASA’s jet propulsion laboratory. The entire system was integrated and investigated at UR Rao Satellite Center (in Bengaluru). Preparations have been made to take it to Sriharikota from UR Rao satellite center. “Asked how many more navigation satellites need to be launched to form their own satellite group, he said,” At the moment, there are four satellites. ”
He said, “The fifth satellite was sent through today’s launch,” (through GSLV-F15). We have received approval for three more satellites. We are planning to launch a satellite in the next five to six months. ‘
Regarding the proposed rocket launch from Tamil Nadu’s Kulasekarpattinam, the chairman said, “We are currently building facilities and regular launch will be done there within two years of completion of construction work.
Narayanan said that ISRO has also received approval from the Center for the construction of the next generation launch vehicle (NGLV), which takes 20 tons weighing a payload in the lower orbit of the Earth or the payload of 10 tons in geostational orbit May go.
He said that there is a huge demand for such a vehicle in the industry. Such launch vehicles will be used from the recently announced third launch pad, which will be established at a cost of Rs 4,000 crore.
