]]> The Indian Space and Research Organisation (ISRO) is scheduled to launch the meteorological satellite INSAT-3DS on Saturday, February 17, from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre (SDSC) SHAR at Sriharikota, Andhra Pradesh. The primary purpose of this satellite is to enhance meteorological observations, contributing to improved weather forecasting and disaster warning capabilities.

The INSAT-3DS satellite, colloquially referred to as the “naughty boy” of ISRO in the past, will be launched aboard the Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle F14 (GSLV F14). The launch is set for 5:35 pm, and it marks the 16th mission of GSLV, aiming to deploy INSAT-3DS into the Geosynchronous Transfer Orbit (GTO). Subsequent orbit-raising maneuvers will position the satellite in a Geo-Stationary Orbit.

Despite its nickname, the GSLV has faced challenges, with a 40 percent failure rate in six out of its 15 total flights. The last GSLV launch took place on May 29, 2023, and was deemed successful, but the one before that had failed.

The INSAT-3DS satellite is designed to enhance meteorological observations and monitor land and ocean surfaces for improved weather forecasting and disaster warning. ISRO stated that the satellite will complement the services of the currently operational INSAT-3D and INSAT-3DR satellites, aiding Indian weather agencies in providing more accurate weather forecasts.

ISRO has initiated the countdown for the INSAT-3DS mission, with the live launch scheduled for Saturday at 5:35 pm. Viewers can watch the event live on ISRO’s social media platforms. This mission represents another stride in India’s space capabilities and its commitment to advancing meteorological and disaster management technologies.

]]> By successfully landing Chandrayaan-3 on the lunar surface, the Indian Space Research Center (ISRO) has made India proud all over the world. The whole world was shocked to see this. While the whole world was busy appreciating India, ISRO has successfully launched ADITYA L1 in a mere span of 12 days. ISRO has successfully launched Aditya-L1 from Sriharikota Space Center today on Saturday 2 September at exactly 11.50 pm. Aditya-L1 will travel a long way to reach a defined point close to the Sun and lift the veil on many known and unknown mysteries of the Sun.

ADITYA-L1 will reach its designated destination point after 125 days. On this one more success of ISRO, the whole country is happy, but the world is also applauding it. Not only this, Pakistani media is also praising India. Prime Minister Narendra Modi has also congratulated the entire team of ISRO.

Aditya-L1 will orbit the Earth for 16 days, after which it will reach the L1 point covering a distance of 15 lakh km in 110 days. Aditya will be inserted into the L-1 point through the thruster. This point is where the gravitational pull of Earth and Sun is not affected where Aditya will be able to stabilize freely and will inform the ISRO team by getting a closer look at the many secrets of the Sun.
