Beyond Sun & Moon: Isro chief Somanath reiterates missions in pipeline

BENGALURU: Isro chairman S Somanath on Tuesday reiterated the department of space's (DoS) achievements and contribution to the nation in creating an ecosystem to build satellites, rockets and launch it from India and said this was 'no mean achievement'.

"Between the previous Independence Day (2022) and now, we've been very very successful in achieving many missions. The number for this year is a record. We are not just breaking records, but also have unique missions," he said delivering the Independence Day speech at the Isro headquarters here.

Pointing out that Chandrayaan-3 is being hailed as an important mission and everybody was looking forward to its soft-landing, he said: "We made a new rocket (SSLV) successful, we made the LVM-3 capture the world market in terms of commercial exploitation. We launched satellites like Oceansat-3, which is an engineering marvel. We’ll do many more things in the coming days. Aditya-L1 is ready for launch in the next few weeks."

He said another interesting science mission, Xposat — India's first dedicated polarimetry mission to study various dynamics of bright astronomical X-ray — was ready.

"... Xposat is ready now. We will launch another climate observation satellite, the INSAT-3DS, which is getting ready. We’ll do the Gaganyaan test vehicle mission this year and are getting ready for the uncrewed mission early next year, and launch NISAR, a joint mission with Nasa. This year also saw the implementation of space reforms. NSIL and IN-SPACe have scaled great heights and enabled the non-government entities to show their strengths," he added.

ISRO to launch the Aditya-L1 mission on 2nd or 4th September 2023

The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) is looking forward to launching the Aditya-L1 mission in the first week of September 2023. According to the latest update by Indian Aerospace Defence News – IADN, the mission will be launched on the 2nd or 4th of September 2023.

ISRO recently gained success and marked history on the Chandrayaan-3 mission. You can check our coverage about the same here.

In their next set of endeavors, ISRO will launch the Aditya-L1 mission in the first week of September. Aditya-L1 is the first Indian Space mission meant to observe the sun. Adiitya-L1 is the name of the coronagraphy spacecraft, meant to carry out the mission of the space name. The Aditya-L1 mission aims to study the solar atmosphere, solar magnetic storms, and the impact it has on the environment around the Earth.

The Aditya-L1 will be launched aboard a PSLV-XL launch vehicle and will be inserted in a halo orbit around the Lagrange Point L1, between the Earth and the Sun. It will cover a journey of 109 Earth days to reach the halo orbit around the L1 point.

The concept of Aditya dates back to January 2008, when it was first conceptualized. Later an experimental budget of Rs 3 Crore was allocated, in the financial year 2016-2017. The total allocated cost of the budget to the mission, as of July 2019 was Rs 378.53 crore.

accounting for new spaceports, hike in bidget (which is to be expected since we won't be the same economically in the 2030s as we are now) how likely is that some of these missions gets bumped up

Most of enlisted missions are likely to be completed within this decade (Except for Chandryaan-6, Mangalyaan-3 and Venus/Jupiter/Asteroid missions, space station etc. which all are special missions and will continue to come in every 2-3 years).

Newer regular missions for 2030s will be defined some time in 2025-27. Most of them will be replacements of current Cartosats/RISATs/Oceansats etc., expansion or upgradation of NAVIC & IDRSS etc., satellites for internet, ISRO's QKD satellites and most will be launches for foreign countries if a launch frequency of 40-60 launches/year is actually achieved.

what is HLMV … how much is payload boost from LMV here?

 

[Varoon2]

One nitpick, the XPoSAT is more likely to be launched by the PSLV. Another forum says it's confirmed. Though it would be nice to see it launched by the SSLV

 

[Indx TechStyle]

NGLV-Heavy with minimum 10 tonnes to GTO and 20 tonnes to LEO. BTW, I didn't mention it in post anywhere you quoted me.

Shukryaan-1

Its launching next year, not 2031.

Source (quoting official news now and not from 2020)?

I don't see any noise or pictures that are supposed to be there one year before an interplanetary mission (instead we are seing experiment definition ongoing which is a stage before even development).

Entire mainstream media reported December 2024 or 14 months from now, and if it doesn't happen then next window is 2031 as @Indx TechStyle mentioned.

I don't think so they'll want to delay relatively simpler orbital missions to the 2030s when ISRO will be concentrating more on sustained human spaceflight, space station building, moon sample return along with landing missions to the Martian surface and beyond. Let's see.

they cannot launch it next year ,even if its approved today, it takes time to develop those payloads, they managed to do it for Mangalyaan in 14 months because, they used a pre-existing CY-2 orbiter bus for Mars Mission
