CHENNAI: With the continued good fortune of PSLV missions, Isro has determined to take it up a notch and plans to release 18 missions within the next six months, just about one each and every two weeks.
The Indian Space Research Organisation (Isro) on Sunday evening effectively launched NovaSAR and S1-4 earth statement satellites of the UK-based Surrey Satellite Technologies Ltd.
"We are going to have 18 missions in the next six months, virtually one launch every two weeks," Isro chairman K Sivan mentioned in a press liberate.
According to senior scientists, probably the most deliberate launches come with GSAT-11, Chandrayaan-2 moon project and GSLV-MkIII-D2 missions.
GSAT-11 is a multi-beam conversation satellite tv for pc, which is predicted to be launched from French Guiana.
Chandrayaan-2 is the second project to the moon wherein Isro will release the lander carrying a six-wheel rover.
Isro had effectively launched Chandrayaan-1 in October 2008 which orbited the moon at a height of 100 km from the lunar surface for chemical, mineralogical and photo-geologic mapping of the moon.
In Chandrayaan-2, the scientists will make the lander cushy land at the moon and deploy the rover to study its surface.
The GSLV-MkIII-D2 project would, for the primary time, raise conversation payloads. It is targeted at Village Resource Centres in rural spaces to bridge the digital divide.
