Highlights of ISRO’s upcoming and past missions:

  • Here is the list :-
    • Aditya-L1
      • The Aditya-L1 (Aditya is a name for the sun in the Hindi language) is the first Indian space mission to study the Sun.
      • The spacecraft will be placed in an orbit around the Lagrange point 1 (L1) of the Sun-Earth system, about 1.5 million km (930,000 miles) from Earth.
      • The mission aims to observe solar activities and their effects on space weather in real time.
    • Gaganyaan
      • India’s first crewed space mission plans to launch a crew of three to an orbit of 400 km for a three-day mission before landing in Indian waters.
      • The ISRO has said its Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre had successfully tested systems for stabilising the crew module and safely reducing its velocity during re-entry.
    • NASA-ISRO SAR (NISAR) SATELLITE
      • NASA-ISRO SAR (NISAR) is a low-Earth orbit observatory system jointly developed by NASA and ISRO.
      • NISAR will map the entire planet once every 12 days, providing data for understanding changes in ecosystems, ice mass, vegetation biomass, sea level rise, ground water and natural hazards including earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanoes and landslides.
    • X-RAY POLARIMETER SATELLITE (XPoSat)
      • India is also building its first dedicated polarimetry mission to study cosmic X-ray sources.
      • The mission is aimed at unfolding new frontiers in high-energy astrophysics and will allow in-depth investigations of neutron stars and black hole sources.

ISRO has provided the links in his tweet for tarcking all updates about mission Aditya – L1

  • The Aditya-L1 mission is a significant milestone for the ISRO and will help us to better understand the Sun and its impact on Earth. The ISRO is also planning to launch several other ambitious missions in the coming years, including Gaganyaan, NASA-ISRO SAR (NISAR), and X-RAY POLARIMETER SATELLITE (XPoSat). ISRO is committed to advancing space exploration and discovery, and these missions will help us to achieve that goal.
