New Delhi, August 15: The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) on Thursday announced that it will launch an Earth-observing satellite (EOS-08) on the new Small Satellite Launch Vehicle (SSLV) rocket -- its third-ever mission -- tomorrow.
EOS-08 satellite will be launched atop the SSLV from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota in Andhra Pradesh on Friday. 슬롯사이트The launch of the third developmental flight of SSLV is scheduled for August 16, 2024, in a launch window of one hour starting at 09:17 Hrs. IST,슬롯사이트 ISRO said in a post on X.com.슬롯 머신 사이트 추천NASA-ISRO NISAR Mission Launch Postponed Beyond February 2025, Here슬롯사이트s Why.
The satellite will deliver Electro Optical Infrared Payload (EOIR), Global Navigation Satellite System-Reflectometry payload (GNSS-R), and SiC UV Dosimeter to Low Earth Orbit (LEO). 슬롯사이트Designing and developing a microsatellite, creating payload instruments compatible with the microsatellite bus, and incorporating new technologies required for future operational satellites슬롯사이트 are the primary objectives of the EOS-08 mission, the space agency said.
The SSLV, on its third flight, aims to deploy EOS-08 into a circular orbit with an altitude of 475 km, ISRO said. SSLV is a compact three-stage launch vehicle that can be assembled in just 72 hours. It is capable of launching mini, micro or nanosatellites (10 to 500 kg mass) into 500km planar orbit.
슬롯사이트The design drivers of SSLV are low cost, low turn-around time, flexibility in accommodating multiple satellites, launch on-demand feasibility, minimal launch infrastructure requirements, etc,슬롯사이트 said ISRO. While its debut, in August 2022, failed, it bounced back on its second flight in February 2023.슬롯 머신 사이트 추천Sunita Williams슬롯사이트 Return From Space: Watch Live Streaming of NASA Providing Update on Boeing Starliner Crew Flight Test.
In 2022, SSLV deployed its two payloads -- the EOS-02 and a tiny cubesat -- into the wrong orbit, which soon fell back to Earth. However, in February 2023, the rocket successfully deployed its three payloads -- EOS-07 and two CubeSats -- into their designated 450-kilometer circular orbits.
