Bravo…….. India is on the Moon. If Turkey and Pakistan are unhappy, together with China then hell with them…… Let us celebrate India’s success.

Very soon, Pakistan will shoot a Made in China missile into the Arabian Sea to reassure its people of their technical prowess. But nothing will match the Indian Moon landing.

To China, I have only one word….. leave Indian territory and establish peace. You have enough of your own economic troubles. Deal with them first!

That is a misquote
If you listen to it in I think benaras Sanskrit University speech, he says lot of important discoveries happened here, arabs carried it over and Eurocentrism happened to credit westerners for some of it

Guys today all my institute(Poland) employees including professors and research scholars from India got a congratulatory msg from our director for the successful moon landing, really proud of our nation... Jai Hind

ISRO's Oppenheimer Way: India's space agency plans nuclear engine for upcoming space exploration missions after Chandrayaan-3

ISRO is now collaborating with the Bhabha Atomic Research Center (BARC) to develop a cutting-edge nuclear-powered engine for deep space missions, as per sources. While chemical engines are suitable for satellite thrusters, they are inadequate for interplanetary missions due to fuel constraints...

A packed launch schedule for ISRO after Chandrayaan-3 mission

Agencies
Synopsis
The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) has a busy schedule ahead, including the launch of a mission to study the Sun, a climate observation satellite, a test vehicle for the Gaganyaan human space flight programme, and an Indo-US synthetic aperture radar. Additionally, the country's first dedicated polarimetry mission, XPoSat, is also ready for launch. ISRO is also planning to launch NISAR, a joint mission with NASA that will map the entire globe and provide data on changes in Earth's ecosystems.

A mission to study the Sun, and launching a climate observation satellite, a test vehicle as part of Gaganyaan human space flight programme and an Indo-US synthetic aperture radar -- ISRO has a packed schedule ahead. In addition, XPoSat (X-ray Polarimeter Satellite), the country's first dedicated polarimetry mission to study various dynamics of bright astronomical X-ray sources in extreme conditions, is also ready for launch, an ISRO official said on Tuesday.

Aditya-L1, the first space-based Indian observatory to study the Sun, is getting ready for the launch, most likely in September first week.

According to ISRO Chairman, Somanath S, the space agency has also lined up the launch of a climate observation satellite INSAT-3DS.

The launch of a test vehicle mission, for the validation of the crew escape system for Gaganyaan, the country's maiden human space flight mission, is also expected soon.

"(Then) we have to launch NISAR, the India-US built Synthetic Aperture Radar", Somanath said in his independence day address at ISRO headquarters here on August 15. "So, our hands are full."

"We are going to build a large number of satellites for our security purpose as well in the coming days," Somanath had said.

According to ISRO officials, NASA-ISRO SAR (NISAR) is a Low Earth Orbit (LEO) observatory being jointly developed by US space agency NASA and ISRO.

NISAR will map the entire globe in 12 days and provide spatially and temporally consistent data for understanding changes in Earth's ecosystems, ice mass, vegetation biomass, sea level rise, ground water and natural hazards including earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanoes and landslides, they said.

"It carries L and S dual band Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR), which operates with Sweep SAR technique to achieve large swath with high resolution data. The SAR payloads mounted on Integrated Radar Instrument Structure (IRIS) and the spacecraft bus are together called an observatory", an ISRO official noted.

Before undertaking the Gaganyaan human space (manned) flight mission, ISRO has planned two unmanned missions.

"We are getting ready for the (first of the two) unmanned crew module mission by the beginning of next year", an ISRO official said.

The objective of the Gaganyaan mission is to demonstrate the capability of conducting human space flight mission to LEO on-board Indian Launch vehicle. The Orbital module consists of a Crew module and a Service module.

Crew module, which is a pressurised module, acts as living quarters for the crew. The orbital module will be positioned in approximately 400 km circular orbit around earth for one to 3 days & the crew module will return at the designated location at sea.

India Private Rocket Makers

L&T-HAL Joint Consortium to deliver first of 5 PSLV Rockets to #ISRO in 2024. Both got Rs 860cr Contract to deliver these in 2022. Till now ISRO was making it

Also L&T-HAL JV reportedly occurred as Lowest bidder for ISRO new SSLV Rocket (Reuter)

A bit unclear , is the 'big update' that there will an unmanned vehicle test in October, or just an abort safety test? Followed by an actual flight with a humanoid in early 2024? If there is an actual orbital test in October, that is major. Otherwise, the safety abort exercise was expected anyway.

Jitendra Singh shares big update on ISRO's Gaganyaan, humanoid robot ‘Vyommitra’

India's Gaganyaan mission is to commence trials in October; the second phase to include the launch of the humanoid robot, Vyommitra. The humanoid robot Vyommitra has been created to execute specific tasks aimed at evaluating human behaviour in space conditions.

It's about TV-D1 & 2. 2 suborbital abort tests planned before G1.

Nothing about RLV-TD space plane project?

Not for this year

Orbital flight of RLV will be in 2025-26

Kindly move it if not appropriate.

Next year there will be atleast 2 LVM-3 launches....one will be HLVM3-G1 for Gaganyaan & another one is a commercial LVM-3 launch

 

[Varoon2]

According to this video, ISRO plans Shukrayaan for next year. Seems unlikely(?)...Spadex is more credible, and NISAR is right on.
