Isro plans to launch India's heaviest rocket on June 5

The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) is planning to launch a communication satellite GSAT-19 using its heaviest rocket GSLV Mark - III on June 5.GSLV-Mk III is capable of launching 4 tonne class of satellites to Geosynchronous Transfer orbit (GTO). It is a three-stage vehicle with two solid motor strap-ons (S200), a liquid propellant core stage (L110) and a cryogenic stage (C25).GSLV-Mk III-D1 is the first developmental flight, carrying 3136 kg GSAT-19 satellite to a Geosynchronous Transfer Orbit (GTO). The vehicle is configured with a 5 m ogive payload fairing and slanted strap-on nose cone to provide aerodynamic robustness.GSLV Mk III-D1/GSAT-19 Mission is scheduled to be launched on June 5, 2017 at 17:28 Hrs (IST) from the Second Launch Pad at SDSC SHAR, SriharikotaGSAT-19 carries Ka/Ku-band high throughput communication transponders.Besides, it carries a Geostationary Radiation Spectrometer (GRASP) payload to monitor and study the nature of charged particles and the ...

Isro invites proposals for Venus Mission

The Indian Space Research Organisation (Isro) is planning to to study Venus. The Organisation is planning to develop a 175 kg satellite to study Venus, which is the second planet from the Sun.ISRO officials have said that mission to Venus is on the horizon and studies are underway.Solar system studies have seen a remarkable growth in the last few decades, due to advances in space technology, observational capabilities and computational technologies. This has enhanced our knowledge and understanding of the diversity of complex processes across the Solar system. It is quite interesting to find clues as to how the planetary systems might have originated and evolved, and how they are different and similar to each other.Venus is often described as the twin sister of the Earth because of the similarities in size, mass, density, bulk composition and gravity. It is believed that both planets share a common origin, forming at the same time out of a condensing nebulosity around 4.5 billion ...
