The launch of ISRO's meteorological satellite INSAT-3DS, aiming to enhance meteorological observations and help in better weather forecasting and disaster warning, is scheduled for February 17.Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO), in a post on X on Thursday said that the satellite will be launched onboard a Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle F14 (GSLV F14)."The launch of the GSLV-F14/INSAT-3DS mission is set for Saturday, February 17, at 5:30pm from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre (SDSC) SHAR at Sriharikota," ISRO said.In August ISRO had launched successfully launched Chandrayaan-3, for this achievement ISRO was feted with the prestigious Leif Erikson Lunar Prize by the Husavik Museum. In last month January, the Indian Space Research Organisation had injected the Aditya-L1 Solar Mission into its designated orbit.

Indian Space Research Organisation Chief S Somanath, while addressing team members, congratulated his team members for the successful launch of PSLV-C58 XPoSat mission from Sriharikota on January 01. ISRO launched X-Ray Polarimeter Satellite from the first launch-pad, SDSC-SHAR, Sriharikota in Andhra today. The mission would carry primary payload XPoSat and ten other satellites to be deployed in low earth orbits. XPoSat mission is India’s first dedicated polarimetry mission to study various dynamics of bright astronomical X-ray sources in extreme conditions. Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday hailed ISRO's successful launch of its maiden X-Ray Polarimeter Satellite.

The mission would carry primary payload XPoSat and ten other satellites to be deployed in low earth orbits. XPoSat mission is India’s first dedicated polarimetry mission to study various dynamics of bright astronomical X-ray sources in extreme conditions. This is India’s first dedicated mission to study emissions from black holes, neutron stars. Indian Space Research Organisation Chief S Somanath, while addressing team members, congratulated his team members for successful launch of PSLV-C58 XPoSat mission from Sriharikota on January 01. India’s solar mission Aditya-L1 is also nearing success as the spacecraft is inching closer to L1 point.

On Sept 02, ISRO successfully launched its much-anticipated ‘Aditya-L1’ mission to Sun from Satish Dhawan Space Centre. The PSLV-C57.1 rocket carrying the Aditya-L1 orbiter, lifted off successfully. PM Narendra Modi took to X (formerly Twitter) and congratulated ISRO scientists for the successful launch. MoS Jitendra Singh also termed the launch, a ‘sun shine’ moment for India. Aditya-L1 spacecraft is to be placed in the halo orbit around the Lagrange Point 1 (L1) of the Sun-Earth system. It is about 1.5 million kilometres away from the Earth. Lagrange Point 1 (L1) is where the gravitational pull of both the Sun and the Earth equalises. Placing the satellite in the halo orbit around the L1 point has the advantage of continuously seeing the Sun without any eclipses.

ISRO successfully launched its much-anticipated ‘Aditya-L1’ mission to Sun from Satish Dhawan Space Centre, Sriharikota on Sept 02. ‘Aditya-L1’ is India’s first space-based Indian observatory mission to study the Sun. Spacecraft is carrying 7 payloads to observe the photosphere, chromosphere, outermost layers of Sun. ‘Aditya-L1’ is going to travel a distance of 1.5 million km from Earth, about four times farther than the Moon. Initially, spacecraft will be placed in a low earth orbit; subsequently, using an on-board propulsion system, it will be put in Lagrange point L1. The total travel time from launch pad to L1 will take about four months for ‘Aditya-L1’.

On July 30, ISRO launched PSLV-C56 with six co-passenger satellites from Satish Dhawan Space Centre (SDSC), Sriharikota. PSLV-C56 / DS-SAR is the Dedicated Commercial Mission of NewSpace India Limited (NSIL) for ST Engineering, Singapore. School students witnessed the PSLV-C56 Mission first-hand and hailed the launch of the satellite. The primary satellite in the mission was DS-SAR, a Radar Imaging Earth Observation satellite, in addition to it 6 co-passenger customer satellites belonging to Singapore were also launched. This is the 58th flight of PSLV and the 17th flight of PSLV in Core Alone configuration.

It was only days back when ISRO created history with the launch of Chandrayaan-3. Today, ISRO scaled another landmark. On July 30, ISRO launched PSLV-C56 with six co-passenger satellites from Satish Dhawan Space Centre (SDSC), Sriharikota. PSLV-C56 / DS-SAR is the Dedicated Commercial Mission of NewSpace India Limited (NSIL) for ST Engineering, Singapore. DS-SAR, a Radar Imaging Earth Observation satellite is the primary satellite for the mission. In addition to this, there are six co-passenger customer satellites also belonging to Singapore. All satellites have been injected into the 535 km circular with 5 orbital inclinations. This is the 58th flight of PSLV and the 17th flight of PSLV in Core Alone configuration.
