The X-ray Polarimeter Satellite (XPoSat) is a ISRO space observatory to study polarization of cosmic X-rays. It was launched on 1 January 2024 on a Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle ( PSLV-C58 ). [ 13 ] [ 14 ] XPoSat will study the 50 brightest known sources in the universe, including pulsars , black hole X-ray binaries , active galactic nuclei ...
The 135 kg EOS 02, an Earth observation satellite and the 8 kg AzaadiSAT CubeSat. [ 2 ] [ 3 ] [ 4 ] Due to sensor failure coupled with shortcomings of onboard software, the stage as well as the two satellite payloads were injected into an unstable transatmospheric Earth orbit measuring 356×76 km and subsequently destroyed upon reentry.
The Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV) is an expendable medium-lift launch vehicle designed and operated by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO). It was developed to allow India to launch its Indian Remote Sensing (IRS) satellites into Sun-synchronous orbits , a service that was, until the advent of the PSLV in 1993, only ...
The Small Satellite Launch Vehicle (SSLV) is a small-lift launch vehicle developed by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) to deliver 500 kg (1,100 lb) payload to low Earth orbit (500 km (310 mi)) or 300 kg (660 lb) payload to Sun-synchronous orbit (500 km (310 mi)). [7]
The Launch Vehicle Mark-3 or LVM3 [1] [14] [15] (previously referred as the Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle Mark III or GSLV Mk III) [a] is a three-stage [1] medium-lift launch vehicle developed by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO). Primarily designed to launch communication satellites into geostationary orbit, [17] it is ...
With the launch of PSLV-C37, Planet Labs increased its fleet of satellites to 143, which was the largest private satellite fleet in operation at the time. [ 2 ] [ 14 ] Eight Lemur-2 satellites belonging to Spire Global are to provide vessel tracking and weather measurement services.
EOS–07 (formerly known as Microsat-2B) is an Earth observation satellite developed by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) and launched during the SSLV-D2 mission, the first successful mission of the SSLV rocket. [1] It's a minisatellite designed to accommodate new technology payloads in a quick turn-around time. [2] [1]
It is the main satellite launch centre for the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO). It is located in Sriharikota, Andhra Pradesh, 80 km (50 mi) north of Chennai. Originally called Sriharikota Range [1] (SHAR), an acronym that ISRO has retained to the present day.
