Dr Narayanan V, a visionary with nearly four decades in rocket and spacecraft propulsion, is set to take the reins as ISRO Chairman and Secretary of the Department of Space on 14 January. With an MTech in Cryogenic Engineering and a PhD in Aerospace Engineering from IIT Kharagpur, he joined ISRO in 1984, shaping India’s rise in space exploration. When cryogenic propulsion technology was once out of reach for India, Dr Narayanan turned this challenge into victory. Under his leadership, ISRO mastered this cutting-edge system of using super-cooled, liquefied gases to propel rockets, making heavy satellite launches routine and securing India’s place among global space powers. As the architect behind Chandrayaan-3's resounding success, Dr Narayanan led the efforts of turning lessons from Chandrayaan-2 into a flawless moon landing. From the Aditya spacecraft to GSLV Mk-III and PSLV missions, his expertise has fuelled India’s most ambitious projects. Honoured with the Astronautical Society of India’s Gold Medal, Dr Narayanan now sets his sights on the stars with missions like Gaganyaan, India’s first human spaceflight programme. “We have a clear roadmap for India and I hope to take ISRO to greater heights as we have great talent,” he told NDTV. With his bold vision, Dr Narayanan is set to lead India into uncharted realms of space, proving once again that the sky is not the limit. #ISROChairman #DrVNarayanan #ISRO #IndiaInSpace #Chandrayaan3 #AdityaMission #GSLVMkIII #PSLVMissions #VisionaryLeadership [ISRO Chairman Dr V Narayanan, ISRO, India In Space, Leadership]

ISRO Postpones SpaDeX Docking to January 9 for Further Ground Simulations The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) has postponed the docking experiment for its Space Docking Experiment (SpaDeX) mission from January 7 to January 9. The delay follows the identification of an abort scenario that necessitates additional validation through ground simulations, the agency announced on January 8. The SpaDeX mission, launched on December 30, involves demonstrating in-space docking technology using two small spacecraft, SDX01 (Chaser) and SDX02 (Target). These satellites, weighing approximately 220 kilograms each, were deployed into a 475-kilometer circular orbit by the PSLV C60 rocket, which also carried 24 other payloads. The launch took place at the @Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota.

India successfully launched a rocket on Monday, carrying two small spacecraft designed to test docking capabilities in space. The mission is the next step for India in reaching its space exploration goals, such as a space station and a manned Moon mission. Indian Minister of Science and Technology Jitendra Singh said the launch was "critically important" for India's future space endeavors. The whole launch was streamed in real-time, courtesy of the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO), which signifies the growing ambitions of space capabilities in India. A good mission for which India is vying to better its space plan, paving for future missions starting with the first ambitious mission being sending humans to the Moon. Last year Indian Prime Minister Mr. Narendra Modi publicized the 2040 timeframe for sending one of its nationals to the moon. . . . #IndiaSpaceMission #ISRO #SpaceExploration #MoonMission #DockingTest #SpaceStation #MannedMoonMission #SpaceAmbitions #IndianSpaceResearch #FutureOfSpace #IndiaOnTheMoon #PrimeMinisterModi #SpaceTechnology #AerospaceEngineering #IndiaInSpace #Tribunetrends

#Onthisday #Aug15 On August 15, 1969, the Indian Space Research Organisation (#ISRO) was formed to replace the Indian National Committee for Space Research (#INCOSPAR), which was created in 1962 by visionary scientist Dr. Vikram Sarabhai. ISRO's mission was to leverage space technology for national development and self-reliance in space exploration. The Department of Space (#DOS) was established in 1972, and ISRO was brought under its aegis to streamline efforts and give space research a focused direction. ISRO's journey started in the modest settings of Thumba, Kerala, with the goal of applying space technology to solve the socio-economic challenges of India. Under the leadership of Dr. Sarabhai, ISRO focused on using satellites for communication, weather forecasting, and resource management, thus ensuring space research was not just academic but directly beneficial for the nation's progress. The launch of #Aryabhata in 1975 marked India’s entry into the satellite age. In the following decades, ISRO made significant breakthroughs with projects like #Rohini, the Indian National Satellite System (#INSAT) for telecommunications and broadcasting, and the Indian Remote Sensing (#IRS) satellites for resource management. The #Chandrayaan1 mission in 2008 and #Mangalyaan (Mars Orbiter Mission) in 2013 were landmark achievements, establishing India as a significant player in interplanetary exploration. The low-cost and high-efficiency models used by ISRO for these missions garnered international acclaim, highlighting its prowess in cost-effective space engineering. ISRO has earned global recognition not only for its scientific achievements but also for its commercial arm, #Antrix Corporation, which allows foreign satellites to be launched using ISRO’s reliable and cost-effective Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (#PSLV). This commercial success complements India's strategic and diplomatic interests, offering satellite launch services to countries across the globe. ISRO has also played a key role in international collaborations, partnering with #NASA, #ESA, #Roscosmos, and #JAXA, among others. The South Asia Satellite initiative launched in 2017 was a significant geopolitical success, underscoring India's space diplomacy in strengthening regional ties. With ambitious plans for #Gaganyaan, India's first crewed space mission, and the exploration of the Sun (#AdityaL1) and Moon (#Chandrayaan3), ISRO’s trajectory is set towards pushing the boundaries of scientific exploration. The upcoming Reusable Launch Vehicle (#RLV) will revolutionize the economics of space missions, while Indian National Space Promotion and Authorization Center (#INSPACe) aims to engage private players in space technology. ...continued https://amzn.to/3AoTApf
