INSAT-3DS Satellite Embarks on its Journey to SDSC-SHAR Launch Port.

On January 25, 2024, the INSAT-3DS satellite, a dedicated meteorological endeavor by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO), was ceremoniously flagged off to the Satish Dhawan Space Centre (SDSC-SHAR) launch port. This satellite marks a pivotal stride in providing seamless services, ensuring continuity from the existing INSAT-3D and 3DR satellites while significantly amplifying the capabilities of the INSAT system.

The INSAT-3DS satellite, a user-funded initiative in collaboration with the Ministry of Earth Science (MoES), has undergone meticulous Satellite Assembly, Integration & Testing activities at the U R Rao Satellite Centre in Bengaluru. The Pre-Shipment Review (PSR) on January 25, 2024, witnessed active participation from members of the user community, marking a crucial milestone in the satellite's journey.

Configured around ISRO's well-established I-2k bus platform and boasting a Lift-Off Mass of 2275 kg, the satellite is a testament to the substantial contributions made by Indian industries in its fabrication. Engineered for advanced meteorological observations, the INSAT-3DS satellite aims to monitor land and ocean surfaces for weather forecasting and disaster warnings. Its state-of-the-art payloads include a 6-channel Imager, a 19-channel Sounder for meteorology, as well as communication payloads such as the Data Relay Transponder (DRT) and the Satellite-Aided Search and Rescue (SAS&R) transponder.

The Data Relay Transponder (DRT) plays a pivotal role in enhancing weather forecasting capabilities by receiving meteorological, hydrological, and oceanographic data from Automatic Data Collection Platforms (ADCP) and Automatic Weather Stations (AWS). Meanwhile, the Satellite-Aided Search and Rescue (SAS&R) transponder facilitates the relay of distress signals and alerts, contributing to search and rescue services with global coverage. As INSAT-3DS sets out for its launch onboard GSLV F14, it heralds a new era in meteorological observation and disaster management.

In the triple-star system, KOI-5Ab is seen orbiting the primary star...

KOI-5Ab continues to be a topic of discussion for researchers, as koi-5Ab has been seen orbiting the primary Star, confirming it has also been announced. koi-5ab revolves around the primary star, it was thought to be a planet half the size of Saturn in a planetary system, and was the only other planet candidate to be detected by the KOI-5Ab mission. Kepler mission operations were initiated by NASA in 2009, by the end of spacecraft operations in 2018, the Kepler spacecraft had discovered 2,394 exoplanets, or planets orbiting stars beyond our sun, and about 2,366 exoplanets such There are also those, which are still to be confirmed. David Ciardi, chief scientist at NASA's Exoplanet Science Institute, says the KOI-5AB was abandoned, because it was complicated, and we had thousands of candidates, and we were learning something new every day from Kepler, so that the KOI Mostly forgot to -5. KOI-5Ab is part of the Triple Star system, where KOI-5 is a group of three st...

NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope will be closed.

NASA briefly informed that the Spitzer Space Telescope will be permanently discontinued on January 30, 2020. After about 16 years of discovering the universe in light energy. And by that time, the space shuttle has been working for more than 11 years beyond its prime mission, Spitzer examines the universe's various objects in infrared light. It was in 2003 through the rocket that the American Space Research Organization NASA entered the space and entered the orbit around the Earth. Spitzer rotates the sun on a path similar to that of the Earth but it runs a bit slower. Today it is about 158 million miles (254 million kilometers) away from our planet - more than 600 times the distance between Earth and Moon. The spacing of Spitzer's orbit curve means that when the spacecraft indicates its fixed antenna on the earth to download data or receive commands, its solar panels tend to lean away from the sun. During those periods, to operate the space shut...

SpaceX is launching its next dragon spacecraft.

SpaceX is preparing for its next mission, very soon Spacex will launch the Dragon Spacecraft with its Falcon 9 Rocket. SpaceX is the 18th commercial reproduction service mission, dragon spacecraft will be loaded with dozens of experiments made in space. Launch date: Sunday, July 21, 2019 at 7:35 pm International Space Station (ISS) us The National Laboratory SpaceX's dragon is giving a finalization to more than two dozen payloads for launch in a circular circular laboratory. Many of these payloads are aimed at improving human health on the earth, many of which are focused on drug development. In addition, a series of payloads from identified private sector partners will be launched on this mission. More than 40 student experiments and demonstrations have been included on the 18th Commercial Recepti Services Mission (CRS-18) of SpaceX. One part of ISS American National Laboratory's goal is to encourage and engage next generation scientists. ...
