Bengaluru: India Space Research Organization (ISRO) The third attempt during the launch of Gisat-1, the first Earth Observation (EO) satellite, will occur in mid-August if everything goes according to the spacecraft plan.
The satellite launch was first scheduled for March 5, but rubbed a minute before the 26-hour backward count would begin on March 4, 2020.
And, earlier this year (2021), ISRO said it was sure to launch a satellite at the end of March or the first week of April.
However, it was delayed because of the voltage problems described by scientists as “small power problems”.
The source in Isro said that the mistake had since been done and prepared for the launch was in full.
“Vehicle Assembly in the Advanced.
The vehicle will be moved from the vehicle assembly building for UB (Umbilical Tower) from the moment the countdown will begin.
After being moved to UT, we will have around seven-eight working days and then it will be launched.
This will be launching Morning and rocket will take off before 6am, “a senior scientist from the Isro headquarters who are part of a recent review of the mission, said.
Satellite, which will increase the Satellite Constellation of the Isro Earth Observation, will be placed in Geostationary or Geosintram (GEO) equatorial orbits, and will be launched on GSLV.
After in Geo, it will then be positioned in Geostationary orbit, around 36,000 km above the Earth’s equatorial line, using the onboard propulsion system.
Designed to provide real-time images close to large areas of areas in demand at frequent intervals, satellites, as reported by TII before, also have the potential to help the country’s armed forces to plan operations.
Operating from geostationary orbits, Gisat-1 will facilitate real-time observations of the Indian sub-continent, under cloud-free conditions, at frequent intervals.
Weighing 2,268 kg, satellites will also provide spectral signatures for agriculture, forestry, mineralogy, disaster warnings, cloud properties, snow, glaciers and oceanography.
It will be equipped with a six-band multispectral imaging sensor that is visible and almost infrared with a 42m resolution, the 158-ribbon hyper-spectral sensor is visible & almost infrared with a resolution of 318m and a shortwave infrared sensor Hyper-spectral 256M with a resolution of 191m.
After being launched on GSLV, Gisat-1 will be placed in Geoskinary Geosynchronous Geostroner or Orbit (GEO) before being positioned in geostationary orbit, around 36,000 km above the Earth’s equatorial line.
The launch of Gisat-1 is planned for mid-August
