Space agency lines up 60 satellite launches over next five years
Isro has emerged as the front runner for global space agencies to collaborate to understand earth better
The ISRO has started flight integration activity for its next lunar mission Chandrayaan-2 and scientists are currently carrying out tests for the lander and the rover that will explore the moon. Officials said the spacecraft launch, on board GSLV-Mk II, is planned for March and many new technologies have been developed indigenously to achieve the mission requirements. Chandrayaan-2, India's second mission to the Moon, is an advanced version of the previous Chandrayaan-1 mission nine years ago. This spacecraft is a composite model consisting of orbiter, lander and rover. According to the Bengaluru-headquartered space agency, unlike Chandrayaan-1, wherein an impact probe crash-landed on the surface of the moon, Chandrayaan-2 will soft-land its lander with the rover on the lunar surface to conduct the next level of scientific studies. "Things are going on. The orbiter is getting ready. Flight integration activity is going on, and a series of tests are planned for lander

India's space agency has lined up over 21 rocket launches, including the second test flight of its heaviest rocket the Geosynchronous satellite launch vehicle (GSLV) MK-III, which will be carried out over a period of the next three-four years.The outlay is part of the Rs 8,658.74 crore sanctioned by the government for Indian Space Research Organisation (Isro) to build and launch 31 rockets, including 15 PSLVs, 13 GSLV's and three GSLV MK-IIIs. So far Isro has successfully built and launched 10 vehicles under the agreement."Isro's launch vehicles are being used for launching national satellites towards meeting the earth observation, communication, navigation and scientific needs of the country. The excess capacity has been used to launch satellites of other countries," said Jitendra Singh, Minister of State at the Prime Minister's office early this week. The Space Commission, which runs Isro, is under the direct oversight of the Prime Minister. The plan to launch the next 21 rockets ..
The 4.6 meter Ship Borne Antenna System has been built indigenously
India's space agency has begun work on the third generation of Cartosat earth observation satellites. The first in that series would be ready by 2018 and boost the capability to generate digital maps, needed to build infrastructure in the country, said an Indian Space Research Organisation (Isro) official. The Cartosat-3 series will have around six satellites, some of which would replace existing remote sensing satellites with more powerful capability.On Friday, Isro launched a Cartosat-2E earth observation satellite, along with 30 nano satellites for other customers. that included the first ever for Slovakia, the tiny European nation. Spire Global, a US satellite firm came as a repeat customer on the 40th flight of the Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV), the workhorse rocket which has emerged as a preferred vehicle for launching small satellites globally.Cartosat-2E is the seventh earth observation satellite in the series."Isro will continue work on its earth observation, ...
