The Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) is going to create new history on Sunday with the launch of its first Small Satellite Launch Vehicle (SSLV) rocket from Sriharikota. For the first time after the reliable, powerful rockets PSLV and GSLV (Polar Satellite and Geosynchronous Launch Vehicle), SSLV will be used to send a satellite. Scientists had been busy for several weeks for the mission.
Two satellites will be sent:
Through this rocket, we will be able to send satellites up to 500 kg on the lower orbit (up to 500 km above the Earth) in a very short time and cost. In Sunday’s mission, two satellites Earth Observation Satellite-02 and AzadiSat are being sent in this mission.
In the 75th year of independence, the girl students made 75 satellite devices:
The team of students will also be credited in this historic success of ISRO, which is going to launch its first Small Satellite Long Vehicle (SSLV) rocket on Sunday. Scientists have united day and night in the preparations for the two satellites that ISRO will send Earth Observation Satellite-02 and AzadiSat in this mission. In the 75th year of independence, 75 instruments of Azadi SAT have been made by the students with the help of scientists.
Micro class EO-02 satellite is equipped with advanced optical remote sensing operating in the infrared band and coming with high spatial resolution. AzadiSat is an eight kg CubeSat, with 75 instruments of average weight of 50 grams. These were made by the girl students of government schools in rural India on the 75th anniversary of independence with the help of ISRO scientists. At the same time, a team of students from Space Kids India designed an on-earth system that would receive data from the satellite.
Mission: The five-hour launch countdown has begun at 04:18 am on Sunday morning and will take place at 09:18 am from Satish Dhawan Space Center in Sriharikota. In other missions, the countdown is 25 hours. After 13 minutes of launch, EOS-02 and then AzadiSat will be placed on the orbit path.
Advantages of SSLV:
- Cheap and ready in less time.
- The 34 meter high SSLV is 2 meters in diameter, the 2.8 meter diameter PSLV is 10 meters higher than this.
- SSLV is a 4 stage rocket, the first 3 stage will use solid fuel. The fourth stage is the Liquid Propulsion based Velocity Trimming Module which will help the satellites on their orbit path.
