They are only dedicated communication sats we have others like EMISAT

The matter remains either of launch or satellite operations infrastructure is neither present nor in any development in Pakistan.

Pakistan would rather keep sourcing information from outside as it cannot operate satellites on a notable scale.

??? Pakistan???

From where it came in?

Two strictly dedicated military communication satellites and overall military utility satellites exceed a dozen.

GSAT-7 is just a communication series.

Obsolete news. MOM-2 plan has been replaced by MLM (Mars Landing Mission) and timeline has shifted beyond 2030.

ISRO Lines up lineup of ambitious missions

The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) is gearing up for an eventful year with a lineup of ambitious missions aimed at expanding India’s footprint in space exploration. Among the notable missions on the horizon are the in-orbit Servicer Mission, Lunar sample return mission, Docking in Space (SPADEX), and the Mars Lander Mission. These initiatives align with India’s commitment to advancing its capabilities in space technology and realizing significant goals set by the Prime Minister.
key Missions in 2023:

1. In-orbit Servicer Mission: ISRO’s in-orbit Servicer Mission is a groundbreaking endeavor focused on developing capabilities for servicing satellites in space. This mission is crucial for extending the operational life of satellites and managing space debris effectively.
2. Lunar Sample Return Mission: In pursuit of lunar exploration, ISRO is planning a Lunar Sample Return Mission. This mission holds strategic importance as it aims to bring back lunar soil samples, contributing to a deeper understanding of the Moon’s composition and evolution.
3. Docking in Space (SPADEX): SPADEX is a pivotal mission, especially in the context of India’s vision to establish a space station by 2035. The successful execution of docking maneuvers in space will lay the foundation for future endeavors related to human spaceflight and space habitats.
4. Mars Lander Mission: Building on the success of the Mangalyaan mission, India is gearing up for a Mars Lander Mission. This mission is a testament to India’s growing prowess in interplanetary exploration and will contribute valuable insights into the Martian environment.

These missions go beyond scientific exploration, playing a crucial role in positioning India as a key player in the global space arena. The advancements in space technology achieved through these missions will enhance India’s capabilities in satellite servicing, lunar exploration, space docking, and interplanetary missions.

The GSLV-Mk2 launch is not only a stepping stone for the missions mentioned above but also holds significance for ISRO’s collaboration with NASA on the NASA-ISRO Synthetic Aperture Radar (NISAR) mission. The launch vehicle’s readiness is a critical component in realizing the joint $1.5 billion NISAR mission, which aims to provide comprehensive data on Earth’s ecosystems, ice mass, vegetation biomass, and natural hazards.

Those planned missions sound great, but for now, it would be nice to see 2 launches before Dec 31, Insat 3ds and the XPosat

ISRO Robotics Challenge-URSC 2024 (IRoC-U2024): Inviting Indian students to join Space explorationHome / ISRO Robotics Challenge-URSC 2024 (IRoC-U2024)

After the successful landing of Chandrayaan-3 Vikram on the lunar surface and the exploration of the southern pole of the moon, ISRO is gearing up for future robotic exploration missions to the Moon and other celestial bodies. ISRO is committed to creating unique opportunities for academia & industry to participate in the technology developmental activities commensurate with organisational objectives. In line with this vision, U R Rao Satellite Centre (URSC)/ISRO solicits from the youth of India, innovative ideas and designs of robotic rovers for future missions through the conduct of a space robotics challenge with an objective to provide development opportunities in space robotics to the participating entities and to leverage the creative thinking among the youth of our Nation for ISRO interplanetary missions.

To provide the opportunity for the students in the area of space robotics, “ISRO Robotics Challenge-URSC 2024 (IRoC-U 2024)” is organised with a tagline of “Let’s build a space robot”. The challenge consists of an engineering project where the Institutional teams build robots to compete in an extra-terrestrial-inspired arena, performing tasks based on the real-life challenges faced by space robotics. This is an invitation for the student community for the design and realisation of a ‘Wheeled/Legged Rover’ encompassing the development of complete hardware and software. The solutions provided by the students in IRoC-U 2024 have a greater chance of getting incorporated into ISRO’s future interplanetary robotics missions.

Objectives of the Challenge

• To provide a standardised platform for exploring the area of space robotics.
• To develop a deeper understanding of space robotics and its applications among the student community. It enhances their communication, collaboration, inquiry, problem-solving and flexibility skills which will benefit them in their academic and professional lives.
• To co-develop (students and ISRO) future technologies needed in the area of space robotics.

Outcome for Student Community

• Identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of mathematics, science and engineering.
• Apply engineering design to produce solutions that meet specified needs.
• Communicate effectively.
• Collaborate with a team, provide inclusive leadership, establish goals, plan tasks, and meet objectives.
• Formulate and conduct appropriate experiments, analyse and interpret test and analytical data and use engineering judgment to draw conclusions.

Further details of the challenge are here.

NISAR is great and it costs total $1.5 billion!!! Most expensiveearth imaging satellite ever.

World’s most expensive $1.5 billion Indo-US NISAR sat project ready, payload to fly to India on February 1 - Times of India

Rest of World News: NEW DELHI: The work on the long-awaited Indo-American project on the world’s most expensive earth observation satellite NISAR has been completed after.
