Indian Space Research Organisation successfully conducted the second air drop test for the Gaganyaan mission at Satish Dhawan Space Centre, validating crew module recovery systems crucial for India’s first human spaceflight planned next year

ISRO Chairman V Narayanan said 90 per cent of the Gaganyaan mission’s development is complete. Three uncrewed missions, including Vyommitra’s flight, will precede the crewed launch planned for early 2027, following successful air-drop tests of the crew module’s parachute system

The SonaSPEED lab's Simplex Permanent Magnet Stepper Motors successfully powered ISRO–NASA’s NISAR mission launched via GSLV-F16. Developed in Salem and Bengaluru, these motors played a crucial role in fuel regulation and engine control during India’s latest Earth observation satellite mission.

A bomb threat to ISRO’s Sriharikota launch centre triggered a massive security response, involving CISF, Coast Guard, and police teams. After intense searches, the threat was declared a hoax. The alert follows recent security drills amid regional tensions

The malfunction led to the mission failure, and the satellite could not be successfully deployed.

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

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!”

The successful launch of SSLV sets the stage for the commercialisation of satellite launch capabilities

ISRO successfully launched its third and final developmental flight, Small Satellite Launch Vehicle-D3, from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre, carrying the Earth Observation Satellite EOS-08. The mission aims to design a microsatellite and develop compatible payload instruments, marking a significant step in India's space capabilities

The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) to launch EOS-08 satellite atop the SSLV from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota in Andhra Pradesh on Friday.

According to ISRO's timeline, the maneuver was essential to rectify the trajectory calculated after tracking the Trans-Lagrangean Point 1 Insertion (TL1I) maneuver executed on September 19.

Foreign Portfolio Investors (FPIs) injected a total of Rs 12,262 crore into the market in August, encompassing both bulk transactions and investments via the primary market.

It further explained how Chandrayaan-3 confirmed ice deposits were present in the shadowed craters at the south pole of the moon.

The Chandrayaan-3 spacecraft put down the Vikram lander on the lunar surface, tilting to a horizontal position ahead of landing.

Chandrayaan-2's achievements: Global lunar sodium map, crater size insights, surface water ice detection with IIRS.

The journey from Earth to the moon for the spacecraft is estimated to take about a month and the landing is expected on August 23.

The launch is scheduled for 10:42 a.m. IST, but the exact time will be confirmed after the Mission Readiness Review (MRR) meeting and lab meeting on Saturday.

"Launch of sounding rocket (RH-560) to study attitudinal variations in the neutral winds and plasma dynamics carried out today at SDSC SHAR, Sriharikota," tweeted the official account of ISRO.

The satellite was launched using the Indian Space Research Organisation's (ISRO) PSLV-C51 which took off from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota in Andhra Pradesh at 10:30 am today.
