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.

Agnikul opens India's first rocket engine factory in Chennai

Space tech startup Agnikul Cosmos today inaugurated India's first-ever facility to manufacture 3D-printed rocket engines in Chennai. Named Rocket Factory 1, it was unveiled by Tata Sons chairman N Chandrasekaran and Isro chairman S Somanath in the presence of Pawan Goenka, the chairman of IN-SPACe (Indian National Space Promotion and Authorization Centre). The 10,000-square-foot facility is located at IIT-Madras Research Park. It will have a 400mm x 400mm x 400mm metal 3D-printer from  EOS that will enable end-to-end manufacturing of a rocket engine under one roof. The manufacturing facility has a capacity to make two rocket engines per week and thereby one launch vehicle every month, Agnikul co-founder Srinath Ravichandran told TOI. "This s a milestone for us as we go from R&D phase into core manufacturing with the opening of this facility, and begin productionizing the launch vehicle engine making. We have a lot of inbound interest [for launches] from global quarters...

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...

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...
