ISRO General News and Updates

[Chinmoy]

Doesnt even seem to be oriented towards military / defence applications

resolution of 43m means you wont be able see any detail at needed level ,

Here is what ISRO’s new geo imaging satellite GISAT-1 can do

As the date of launch nears, Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) in a tweet has revealed what it’s geo Imaging Satellite, GISAT-1 can do

These images are likely to help in various sectors and its applications will be utilised in mineralogy, agriculture, forestry as well as disaster warning among others, said ISRO.

It will have dual purpose, military as well as civilian.

These are geostationary satellites 36,000km away from Earth surface, they have their uses as they can constantly monitor a set portion of Earth...and believe me, the kind of things GEO satellites look for, can be comfortably picked up even from 36k km away...look up SBIRS.

Don't confuse sub-meter resolutions of LEO/SSO satellites (like Cartosat-3's 0.25m) which are at roughly ~500-700km from Earth with those of GEO sats located 36,000km away.

i dont understand , whats the difference ? , imaging resolution means 1 image pixel = 43m

ok i get it now

The Space-Based Infrared System (SBIRS) is a United States Space Force system intended to meet the United States' infrared space surveillance needs through the first two to three decades of the 21st century. The SBIRS program is designed to provide key capabilities in the areas of missile warning, missile defense and battlespace characterization via satellites in geosynchronous Earth orbit (GEO), sensors hosted on satellites in highly elliptical orbit (HEO), and ground-based data processing and control.

GISAT-1 is a geostationary orbit satellite.

Now just tell me, which phoren nation would want to delay it?

Don't go by online whining of people who basically gets sidelined. We are basically turning out to be porkies here with all the conspiracy theories.

GISATs are reconnaissance satellites in GEO. They practically might be threat for some nations may be India's version of SBRIS.
India cancelling launch under pressure of US is a pathetic conspiracy theory though.

Personally I would think sabotage. Repeated delays hard to explain otherwise...cannot think of any satellite in recent times that suffered that many delays.

ISRO is full of jaichands. Pathetic but still they are not taking action against such people.

Not sure if this sat has such disruption ability. 42mts resolution is not such a great number honestly (ofcourse classified resolution would be better).
A fleet of cartosats may be more prone for sabotage than gisat IMHO.

Cartosats actually are well within range of ASATs. GISAT is a multi-spectral, hyper-spectral and multi a wavelength system. It's utility is more than an optical reconnaissance satellite.

Indian space program more advanced than Chinese: Scientist

CHANDIGARH : "The Indian Space Program and the research conducted by ISRO is much more advanced than the Chinese space agencies as we have indigenously developed the technology and have not been dependent on other countries," said Padma Prof. RM Vasagam, veteran Space Scientist and Project Director of APPLE.

Dr. Mylswamy Annadurai said, "India's space program is doing well and there are various areas such as Remote Sensing, Space Exploration where India is doing much more than China. He further added that, "In the Mars Mission also India succeeded in its first attempt itself in comparison to China. The only difference between India and China Space Programs is the budget allocation and also number of professionals working in the respective countries. In India, only 18000 people are working in the space program as compared to more than 2 Lac in China."

If with a team of just 18000 ISRO could pull it off..then think about India having a team of 2 lac or more to match chinese..we will tear them chinese pigs down in space race.

For that you need proper funding and ecosystem, so that launch schedule doesn't get affected everytime.

Why the f#$K do these people embarrass our country? Can’t they not speak properly? ISRO needs a communication class to teach leaders and retired folks what and how to say it. SMH.

30000 ISRO versus 200000 chinese space agency aeros engineers is the difference. Like I repeatedly point out, ISRO suffers from a serious lack of talent and just cannot scale like other space organizations. ISRO must at least scale to 1lakh aerospace engineers by 2025. Pathetic recruitment or talent development by ISRO.

Antrix debacle coming back to bite ISRO. Who takes such embarrassing decisions at ISRO?

Antrix asks US court to stop Devas

Devas had sought the court's assistance in obtaining information needed to enforce the award, and for it to deny Antrix's motion for a protective order

A good article on what ISRO needs to do to strengthen our space based recon capabilities.

GISAT-1 is important, but India also needs small satellites for national security | ORF

Why are small satellites important and why should R&D investment in them be considered an imperative?

Whether copy n paste or not, they have a functioning rover on Moon, They have space station modules in LEO,
They have a lander on Mars, they are launching humans to space since 2002-3.
We need to stop making fun of them.
If copy n paste was so easy then every second country would have had space stations and landers on moon and mars.

 

[SavageKing456]

Getting into ISRO is quite tough and there are only few possible ways,they care only about salary and say is less when compared,most of the Indians would want to end up in IT sector and get hefty amount without working on complicated systems like ISRO does.

My friend did some electronics for Chandrayan. Not that complicated either IMHO. Basics need to be perfect thats all.
Not everybody gets to do the sexy parts.
He quit ISRO and joined a multinational BTW.

If ISRO is provided good/descent budget then ISRO will be well ahead of chineze.

ISRO planned very high tech projects but our govt not supporting.

With such a peanut budget, you have satellite on moons and mars and even rover try on moon.

No issue let c what next they will achieve. Because for that before chineze to do copy paste, US or RUSSIA need to work on next thing.
