MUMBAI: ISRO’s Small Satellite Launch Vehicle-D2 (SSLV), launched on 10 February, has helped improve aviation safety.
The EOS-07 satellite that was launched by this new rocket carries an instrument – the spectrum monitoring payload – that employs signal detection to track the aircraft’s movements. Designed and developed by ISRO’s Ahmedabad-based Space Applications CenterThe device will help aircraft avoid collisions, D Sam Dayala Dev, Director, Inertial Systems Unit of Isro, Thiruvananthapuram, told reporters at VJTI’s Technovanza, a three-day science and technology festival that began on Friday. He said, the device is now in the experimental stage.
On the new ISRO mission, Dev said OneWeb’s 36 satellites will be launched by LVM3 rockets by the end of March and India’s third mission to the moon—Chandrayaan-3—is tentatively scheduled for launch in June, depending on a “window of opportunity” after “all ground tests are successfully completed.” done,” he said. According to Dev, a test landing of a reusable launch vehicle from a helicopter is expected to happen “anytime”.
