Gaganyaan (unmanned) is also part of Isro's mission for 2020-21
In launch vehicles, Isro expects to fly its first small rocket with a carrying capacity of 500-700 kg in the next few months
The GSAT-20 satellite is scheduled for mid-2020. It is a next-generation high-throughput satellite that would address the country's connectivity issues
The radar imaging satellite weighs about 628 kg along with all nine customer satellites. The countdown for the launch of the PSLV-C48 mission had commenced at 16:40 hours (IST) on Tuesday.
This complex technology involved unfurling and deployment of the 3.6 m antenna which was folded and stowed during launch," ISRO said in an update
The rocket separated RISAT-2BR1 just 16 minutes into its flight, and ejected the first of the nine foreign satellites a minute
The satellite RISAT-2BR1, experts say, will help keep a check on infiltration by allowing round-the-clock surveillance across the border
The satellite will help agriculture, forestry and give disaster management support
: The Indian Space Research Organisation Friday said that its strategic partners Hindustan Aeronautics Limited and L&T have signed an MoU to manufacture the industry-made Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV). ISRO has initiated an action plan to get the PSLV production ready through industry, with the Government clearing the proposal. PSLV has been ISRO's workhorse with 45 flights, including India's successful missions to the Moon and Mars. Until now, public and private industries have been supplying devices, components and sub-systems for the PSLV. ISRO is taking steps to hand over the entire gamut of launch vehicle manufacture to domestic industry by 2020. "Anticipating such a proposal and earlier interactions, the current strategic partners of ISRO -- HAL and L&T -- signed an MoU for realising the PSLV stages and supply to ISRO, making use of existing supply chain for materials and components and production and integration facilities of ISRO,"the space agency
