On Sunday, the mission carried out the observation satellite and companion instrument Azadisat via SSLV. It was developed by a team of students from Space Kids India.
The smallest satellite SSLV failed
New Delhi : Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) identified the cause of loss of contact with the satellite. Apart from this, ISRO decided to constitute a committee for analysis and improvement recommendations. ISRO said regarding the loss of contact with satellite SSLV-D1, this satellite is no longer usable. A committee was constituted for its analysis and recommendations. ISRO launched its first Satellite Launch Vehicle mission (SSLV) was launched. This included the flight of one Earth observation satellite and one student satellite. The historic mission was launched from the Space Launch Center at Sriharikota, about 135 km away. The Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) said that the launch of the SSLV rocket was successful. The rocket launched the satellite EOSO2 and AzaadiSAT It reached their orbit. The racket then fell apart. But, both the satellites stopped receiving any kind of data.
Launching from a small satellite launcher
Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV) made way for a successful mission through Geostationary Satellite Launch Vehicle (GSLV). Then the first launch was done by a small satellite launch vehicle. It was used to place satellites in the lower part of the earth. In the past few days, ISRO scientists have developed a Mini Launch Vehicle (Yaan) for launching small satellites. His weight was five hundred kg. It was to be established in the lower part of the earth. SSLV is 34 meters long. It is almost 10 meters shorter than PSLV. Mass of SSLV is 120 tonnes. The mass of PSLV is 320 tonnes. 1 thousand 800 kg of equipment can be carried through this.
Launched from Sriharikota
On Sunday, the mission carried out the observation satellite and companion instrument Azadisat via SSLV. It was developed by a team of students from Space Kids India. According to ISRO sources, a five-hour run was planned. It was initially launched at 9.18 am from the Satish Dhawan Space Center in Sriharikota on Sunday. After a journey of about 13 minutes, SSLV was first placed into orbit by EOS-02. This satellite was designed by ISRO. After that, Azadisat was installed in Earth orbit. This satellite is an 8 kg CubeSat. It was designed by students of government schools in the country on the occasion of the 75th year of independence. Azadisat has 75 different instruments. Each of them weighs about 50 grams.
