Says the space docking process requires further validation through ground simulations based on abort scenario

It had successfully test-fired its home-built thruster – Vyom 2U – onboard the PSLV Orbital Experimental Module-4 (POEM), tiling the platform by 24 degrees and imparting angular velocity before the onboard systems regained control

India strengthening its role as global leader in space: Union Home Minister

India's national space agency's biggest achievements to date have been one mission to sun, two missions to moon and one to Mars. And it is all set to launch a manned mission by the end of 2026

ISRO's PSLV-C60 mission successfully launched the SpaDex to conduct crucial experiments related to space docking technology

Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) chief S Somanath said the rocket has placed the satellites in the right orbit of 475 km circular orbit, after over 15 minutes of flight

The National Testing Agency came under fire over alleged irregularities in the conduct of NEET-UG and PhD entrance NET.  Later, the government set up a panel in July to study the functioning of the NTA

ISRO is gearing up for a mission to demonstrate a space docking experiment called SPADEX, onboard its trusted workhorse polar satellite launch vehicle, its chairman S Somanath said here on Thursday.

The Proba-3 (Project for Onboard Autonomy) mission consists of twin satellites in which two spacecraft (placed inside the satellites) would fly together as one, maintaining a precise formation down to a single milli-metre to study the Sun's outer atmosphere.

The launch on December 4 at 4:06 pm will entail the PSLV-C59 carrying around satellites weighing nearly 550 kg in a highly elliptical orbit

Recently, ISRO selected a group of Space Tutors from across the country to promote space education, with Bhoopathi being the chosen candidate from Telangana. Bhoopathi, an Architecture graduate from JNAFAU University, founded the Ancient Technologies Design Research Lab to explore how ancient knowledge can address contemporary challenges.

Training includes familiarisation sessions with the SpaceX Dragon spacecraft and various onboard systems of the International Space Station

Proba-3, designed to study the Sun's faint corona near the solar rim, is set to launch aboard the PSLV-XL rocket operated by ISRO. The mission will lift off at 4:08 PM IST on December 4, 2024, from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre (SDSC) in Sriharikota, Andhra Pradesh. Announcing the launch, ISRO shared on X, “The PSLV-C59/PROBA-03 Mission is set to take flight on 4th December 2024, 16:08 IST from SDSC SHAR, Sriharikota!”

GSAT-N2 High-throughput satellite onboard a Falcon 9 rocket has been injected into the desired orbit, says New Space India Limited

The mission, featuring a compact inflatable habitat called Hab-1, will simulate life in an interplanetary environment and is taking place in Leh, Ladakh. As India prepares for upcoming space missions, this initiative aims to explore the challenges future astronauts may face on missions beyond Earth.
