ISRO space missions in 2023: Chandrayaan 3, Gaganyaan, Aditya - L1; Check all details
Continuous research is being done to explore space. Rockets, satellites, among others are being launched on a regular basis by the research organisations like NASA, ISRO, to come up with new findings. Recently, the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) on August 5 launched the Small Satellite Launch Vehicle (SSLV). Launched from the first launchpad of the Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota, Andhra Pradesh, the SSLV-D1 took off at 9:18 am on Sunday, deploying two small satellites in a low-Earth orbit (LEO) of about 365km above the equator. Later, via its official Twitter handle ISRo informed that the SSLV-D1 placed the satellites into 356 km x 76 km elliptical orbit instead of 356 km circular orbit.
“SSLV-D1 placed the satellites into 356 km x 76 km elliptical orbit instead of 356 km circular orbit. Satellites are no longer usable. Issue is reasonably identified. Failure of a logic to identify a sensor failure and go for a salvage action caused the deviation. A committee would analyse and recommend. With the implementation of the recommendations, ISRO will come back soon with SSLV-D2,” the tweet read.
(2/2) caused the deviation. A committee would analyse and recommend. With the implementation of the recommendations, ISRO will come back soon with SSLV-D2. A detailed statement by Chairman, ISRO will be uploaded soon.
May it be a successful mission or an unsuccessful one, the research organisations never stop their efforts to know about space, planets and more. After the recent launch, ISRO has lined up three important upcoming missions. Check the details below.
