Bengaluru, PSLV of Indian Space Research Organization ISRO has completed zero orbital debris mission. This means that the rocket launched by ISRO will no longer scatter debris in space. This step is another milestone in the achievements of ISRO. ISRO said the mission was achieved on March 21, when the PSLV Orbital Experimental Module-3 (POEM-3) completed its mission via re-entry into the Earth’s atmosphere. The PSLV-C58/ExpoSat mission has left practically zero debris in orbit, the space agency said. According to ISRO, after completing the primary mission of placing all the satellites in their desired orbits, the terminal stage of PSLV has been converted into a 3-axis stabilized platform, POEM-3.
Less risk of accident
According to ISRO, after its main objective of placing the satellite in the desired orbit, PSLV is divided into three parts. This has been named POEM 3. In the first phase, PSLV was brought from an altitude orbit of 650 kilometers to an orbit of 350 kilometers. This gave PSLV the opportunity to reach the class early and get into the class early. This reduced the risk of accidents during class change.
Private participation encouraged for payload
9 different types of experimental payloads have been installed in POEM-3. Many types of scientific experiments are to be done with this. Of these, 6 payloads have been given by non-governmental organizations. These payloads were created within a month. However, it costs a lot. Therefore ISRO has decided to encourage private participation in this. ISRO has conducted many latest experiments in recent months. Recently ISRO’s reusable launch vehicle technology was successfully tested. It was named Reusable Launch Vehicle Pushpak.
