While Interstellar popularised the idea of black holes, physicists and research labs continue to expand their research of such interstellar phenomena to further understand the origins of our universe. In December 2021, the US-based National Aeronautics Space Agency launched the imaging X-ray polarimetry explorer mission to explore the remnants of supernova explosions, the particle streams emitted by black holes and other cosmic events.  On 1 January,…

In yet another proud moment for India, the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) has powered another amazing mission to a successful conclusion. Dubbed the PSLV-C58 XPoSat Mission, ISRO launched the rocket and got the satellite into place exactly where it was required. While the XPoSat satellite is the most important part of the entire mission, all the hard work involved in boosting it into space in the correct orbit depended on just one thing - the PSLV-C58 rocket system, which has not been just successful, it is…

The Indian Space Research Organisation (Isro) is set to begin the New Year with the launch of XPoSAT, or X-Ray Polarimeter Satellite, on Monday.The satellite will seek to understand the sources of x-rays and study blackholes. The satellite is set for launch on board the Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle from Sriharikota, and is only the second mission of its kind in the world after NASA's 2021 mission named Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer.Elevate Your Tech Prowess with High-Value Skill CoursesOffering…

PSLV-C58 XPoSat Mission launch: Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) may have ended 2023 with historic successes like Chandrayaan-3 mission, when it landed a lander and a rover on the dark side of the moon  and the Aditya-L1 mission, which is well on its way to its parking slot at Lagrange L1 point to watch the Sun, but it is not sitting on its laurels and is all set to usher in the new year with a bang! On January 1, 2024, the Indian space agency has slated the launch for its next ambitious project, the PSLV-C58…

Hyderabad-based Dhruva Space said it will launch its LEAP-TD satellite Monday morning aboard the Indian Space Research Organisation's PSLV-C58 rocket from Sriharikota.‍The LEAP-TD (Launching Expeditions for Aspiring Payloads - Technology Demonstrator) mission features a derivative of the company’s P-30 satellite platform integrated to ISRO’s PSLV Orbital Experimental Module (POEM), which allows in-orbit scientific experiments using the spent PS4 stage as an orbital platform.Elevate Your Tech Prowess with High-Value Skill…

Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) chairman S Somanath recently said India's first space-based solar observatory Aditya L1 is anticipated to reach its destination -- the Sun-Earth Lagrangian Point L1, on January 6. It was launched from the Sriharikota spaceport on September 2.Why is this important?The Sun-Earth Lagrangian Point L1 is 1.5 million km from Earth, and Aditya L1 was expected to reach its destination after a 125-day journey. It will study the Sun's outer atmosphere without any interference from eclipses…

The successful soft landing of India's ambitious Chandrayaan-3 mission on the lunar south pole was admired by a large part of the world, External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar said on Friday. India's strategy is to maximise the opportunities and minimise the risks as technology holds immense potential for leapfrogging development, he said at an event. "I was at the BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa) meeting accompanying the prime minister (Narendra Modi) when the Chandrayaan-3 (mission) successfully…

In space exploration, where meticulous planning is the norm, objectives set the course for any mission. However, the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) has recently demonstrated a remarkable ability to not only meet but exceed its mission objectives, especially with the Chandrayaan-3 mission. There was a time when GSLV Mk II of ISRO saw 4 failures and 2 partial failures out of a total of 16 launches and cartoons depicted ISRO's efforts humorously, showing established space powers in an "ELITE SPACE CLUB" and a…

Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) is set for another adventurous X-ray Polarimeter Satellite (XPoSat) mission later…

On Wednesday, S Somanath, the chairman of the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO), emphasised that while the organisation is actively pursuing various targets, the immediate and primary focus remains on Gaganyaan mission- the nation's inaugural human space flight program. Speaking on the sidelines of the 2023 Global Energy Parliament in Kolkata, Somanath stated, "There are many . It is not one target. But our primary target is Gaganyaan now. Send an Indian to space and bring them back safely. This is our immediate…
