Largest payload on board mission to study Sun has handed over to ISRO - in English & தமிழ்

In a milestone in the development of space astronomy in India, the Indian Institute of Astrophysics (IIA) has built the Visible Emission Line Coronagraph (VELC), the largest payload that would fly on Aditya L1, the country's first dedicated scientific mission to study the Sun. It is expected to be launched by Indian Space Research Organisation by middle of this year. 


The VELC payload has formally handed over to ISRO Chairman S Somanath at IIA's CREST campus on Thursday. 

There are other six payloads: Solar Ultraviolet Imaging Telescope, Aditya Solar Wind Particle Experiment, Plasma Analyser Package for Aditya, Solar Low Energy X-ray Spectrometer, High Energy L1 Orbiting X-ray Spectrometer, and Magnetometer. 

சூரியனை ஆய்வு செய்வதற்கான பயணத்தில் மிகப்பெரிய பேலோட் இஸ்ரோவிடம் ஒப்படைக்கப்பட்டது  

இந்தியாவில் விண்வெளி வானியல் வளர்ச்சியில் ஒரு மைல்கல்லாக, இந்தியன் இன்ஸ்டிடியூட் ஆப் ஆஸ்ட்ரோபிசிக்ஸ் (IIA) விசிபிள் எமிஷன் லைன் கரோனாகிராஃப் (VELC) ஐ உருவாக்கியுள்ளது, இது Aditya L1 இல் பறக்கும் மிகப்பெரிய பேலோட் ஆகும், இது நாட்டின் முதல் பிரத்யேக அறிவியல் பணி சூரியன். இந்த ஆண்டு மத்தியில் இந்திய விண்வெளி ஆராய்ச்சி நிறுவனத்தால் ஏவப்படும் என எதிர்பார்க்கப்படுகிறது.



VELC பேலோடு வியாழன் அன்று IIA இன் CREST வளாகத்தில் இஸ்ரோ தலைவர் எஸ் சோமநாத்திடம் முறையாக ஒப்படைக்கப்பட்டது 

மற்ற ஆறு பேலோடுகள் உள்ளன: சூரிய புற ஊதா இமேஜிங் டெலஸ்கோப், ஆதித்யா சூரியக் காற்றின் துகள் பரிசோதனை, ஆதித்யாவிற்கான பிளாஸ்மா அனலைசர் தொகுப்பு , சோலார் லோ எனர்ஜி எக்ஸ்ரே ஸ்பெக்ட்ரோமீட்டர், ஹை எனர்ஜி எல்1 ஆர்பிட்டிங் எக்ஸ்ரே ஸ்பெக்ட்ரோமீட்டர், மற்றும் மேக்னடோமீட்டர்.

ISRO is getting ready for Gaganyaan Abort Test with Special Test Vehicle

The first abort test using the special test vehicle (TV) part of #Gaganyaan, which was earlier targeted for the last quarter of this calendar year, is now expected only in early 2023. ISRO chairman S Somanath told: “There’s been a lot of progress & at this juncture we're looking at the first test in early 2023. The test vehicle is already at SHAR (spaceport in Sriharikota) and work on the crew module (CM) and crew escape system (CES) is progressing. As reported earlier, the test — TV technology demonstrator-1 (TV-TD1) mission — will demonstrate the descent phase, parachute deployment and recovery, among other things. While there will be more than one TV-TDs, in the first one, the CM will separate from the TV at a height of around 11km (from sea level), attain an altitude of around 15km before falling back to back in the Bay of Bengal. The Sriharikota ground team will track. Once separated or ejected from TV, CM will have a free fall. Essentially, will demonstrate crew e...

ISRO is silently building Reusable Launch Vehicle

The Indian space agency is literally growing new wings as it gets ready to test a scaled down version of what can easily be described as the `swadeshi Space Shuttle'. The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) calls it the `Reusable Launch Vehicle' or RLV. If all goes to plan very soon it will be seen flying over the Science City in Challakere, Karnataka, where the first landing experiment is being planned. S Somanath, Chairman, ISRO says "We are working silently on reusable rocket technology, with a very low budget, low cost and low investment." In the past USA and Russia have flown full-fledged winged space vehicles. Russia/USSR flew its vehicle called `Buran' only once in 1988 and the program was then shelved. USA made 135 flights of the Space Shuttle and in 2011 it was retired. Since then in a new burst of energy, USA, China and India are the only countries having an active program of re-useable rocket development. If all goes as per plan India's full...

Russia stops rocket engine sales to United States

The decades-old space partnership between Russia and the West may be going up in smoke, another victim of the invasion of Ukraine.   Early Thursday morning (March 3), London-based company OneWeb announced that it's suspending launches of its satellites from the Russia-run Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan.  The decision came after Russia's federal space agency, Roscosmos, announced it would not launch 36 OneWeb internet satellites as planned on Friday (March 4) unless OneWeb guaranteed that the craft would not be used for military purposes and the United Kingdom government agreed to divest itself from OneWeb, which it helped buy out of bankruptcy in 2020 Roscosmos has also halted launches of Russian-built Soyuz rockets from Europe's Spaceport in Kourou, French Guiana. And Roscosmos chief Dimitry Rogozin announced Friday that his agency will no longer sell rocket engines to United States companies, saying, "Let them fly on something else, their broomsticks....
