Nanosatellite

Dhruv Space's LEAP-TD mission strategically utilizes ISRO's potent PSLV-DL variant, featuring the POEM platform and two solid strap-on boosters. This mission is a comprehensive test for Dhruva Space's P-30 nanosatellite platform, which is tailored for Low Earth Orbit (LEO) operations…

Four Indian space startups are set to launch their payloads to demonstrate microsatellite subsystems, thrusters or small engines that keep satellites in desired orbits, and radiation shield coating for satellites on board ISRO's PSLV-C58 mission on Monday. Hyderabad-based Dhruva Space will validate the functionality and robustness of the P-30 nanosatellite platform and its various subsystems in-orbit as part of 'Launching Expeditions for Aspiring Payloads - Technology Demonstrator' (LEAP-TD) payload on the PSLV-C58…

NASA blasted a nanosatellite barely bigger than a microwave oven into outer space Tuesday, part of a landmark mission to return humans to the Moon.A rocket carrying the tiny CAPSTONE module successfully launched from New Zealand's eastern Mahia Peninsula to a deafening blast and a wash of fiery propulsion.  "We have liftoff!" NASA said in a statement shortly after the 09:55 GMT launch, described by Bradley Smith, NASA's director of launch services, as "absolutely fantastic"."This incredible team has just sent CAPSTONE…
