The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) got more than Rs 1,000 crore worth of satellite launch contract from the UK-based Network Access Associated Ltd

The government of the Union Territory of Ladakh has approached a unit of the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) for developing Spatial Data Infrastructure geoportal 'Geo-Ladakh' for UT-Ladakh

Roughly 70% of these start-ups were launched after 2020; of $245 mn that the sector has received in last seven years, $198 mn came after 2020

ISRO's journey into the indigenous rockets began with a sounding rocket in 1963

The launch of a sounding rocket by Skyroot marks the start of a surge in start-ups entering a sector that was opened up only in June 2020

The company which launched India's first private rocket on November 18 is also planning to develop reusable rocket engines

Chairperson of Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) S Somanath on Thursday said about 100 start-ups were registered with the space agency. Addressing a plenary session here at the Bengaluru Tech Summit 2022 on R&D of India Innovation for Global Impact,' he said ISRO has signed memoranda of understanding with companies to work closely, which include hand-holding in space technology and building processes from start to finish. He said a number of companies have the potential to become big players in the space sector and ISRO was playing as a facilitator and helping in building technologies. He said out of the 100 start-ups at least 10 were working on developing satellites and rockets. Somanath announced that Chandrayaan-3 mission would be in orbit in a few months and that ISRO was working with NASA. India needs a thriving space sector, the ISRO chairman said adding the country was looking at how to expand the sector in the days to come. We have to work on cutting-edge ...

The mission, named 'Prarambh', will be the first launch of a privately developed and operated launch vehicle from the country

India will launch its first privately developed rocket, Vikram S, from the ISRO's launchpad at Andhra Pradesh's Sriharikota between November 12 and 16

Currently, the LVM3 rocket has a capacity to carry four ton to geo transfer orbit and 10,000 ton low earth orbit

Revised telecom bill will aim to list guidelines for satellite spectrum, say officials; several stakeholders have argued for separate provisions

The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) will start a series of test flights for India's maiden human space flight mission from February next year, a senior official said here on Thursday. The space agency also plans to deploy the heavy lift Chinook helicopter and the C-17 Globemaster transport aircraft for testing the crew module, which will carry astronauts into the orbit for three days as part of the Gaganyaan human space flight mission, R Umamaheshwaran, Director of ISRO's Human Space Flight Centre said. Addressing the India Space Congress here, he said scientists at ISRO had completed the design of the Environment Control System, which will ensure ambient living conditions for astronauts in the crew service module when they are orbiting the earth. At least 17 different tests are planned by ISRO next year before it carries out the unmanned space flight in December next year. Prime Minister Narendra Modi had announced the Gaganyaan Mission in his Independence Day address in

The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) said that it will launch 36 satellites of UK's global communications network OneWeb onboard its heaviest launcher LVM3

The orbiter, called Mangalyaan in Sanskrit, made India only the fourth nation to reach the distant planet; it garnered global attention primarily for its shoestring budget

NavIC, or Navigation with Indian Constellation, is an independent stand-alone navigation satellite system developed by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO)

The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) has successfully tested a hybrid motor, potentially paving the way for a new propulsion system for the forthcoming launch vehicles. The 30 kN hybrid motor tested at ISRO Propulsion Complex (IPRC) at Mahendragiri in Tamil Nadu on Tuesday is scalable and stackable, the Bengaluru-headquartered space agency said. The test was supported by ISRO's Liquid Propulsion Systems Centre (LPSC). The motor used Hydroxyl-terminated polybutadiene (HTPB) as fuel and liquid oxygen (LOX) as the oxidiser. Unlike solid-solid or liquid-liquid combinations, a hybrid motor uses solid fuel and liquid oxidiser, it was noted. "Today's (Tuesday's) test of a flight equivalent 30 kN hybrid motor demonstrated ignition and sustained combustion for the intended duration of 15 seconds. The motor performance was satisfactory", an ISRO statement said. The use of liquids facilitates throttling, and the control over the flow rate of LOX enables the re-start capability, it

The SSLV is third launch vehicle of the research organisation after Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV) and Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle (GSLV).

ISRO is taking help of doctors in building its human-rated spacecraft for the Gaganyaan mission, India's first human spaceflight that aims to take astronauts into a low earth orbit.
