By Venkatachari JagannathanSriharikota (Andhra Pradesh), April 22 Ahead of the 2024 General Elections, the Indian space agency ISRO will launch the first uncrewed test rocket Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle (GSLV) as a part of the Gaganyaan Mission - India's human space mission.The Chairman of Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) S. Somanath said here on Saturday the space agency is planning to send up the first uncrewed GSLV rocket in February 2024 as part of the Gaganyaan Mission. The human module will land in the sea.He was speaking to reporters here after the successful launch of two Singaporean satellites - TeLEOS-2 and Lumilite-4, with the rocket Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV).Somanath said prior that there will a test of Gagayaan Mission in June this year where the rocket will go up to 12-14 km and test its safety systems.Queried about the next step in ISRO developing a reusable rocket - similar to the USA's Space Shuttle, Somanath said the space agency will send up a Oribital Recovery Vehicle. The vehicle will be in the space for some days and come back.On forthcoming space missions of ISRO, he said the space agency will send the Aditya L1, Navigation satellites, a commercial launch with the heavier rocket GSLV and a mission with Small Satellite Launch Vehicle (SSLV).According to D. Radhakrishnan, Chairman and Managing Director of NewSpace India Ltd (NSIL) - the commercial arm of Department of Space, there is emerging demand for SSLV rocket for orbiting small satellites.Similarly after the successful launch of 72 OneWeb satellites - for a fee of over Rs 1,000 crore- with ISRO's LVM3 rocket, there is a good business potential for that rocket as well, Radhakrishnan said.He said the NSIL is planning to build communication satellites and launch the same.Be that as it may, speaking about the Saturday's successful PSLV rocket mission, Somanath said the space agency did some re-engineering to cut costs without compromising on its performance.The ISRO officials are also upbeat about using the PSLV rocket's upper stage as a stablised orbital platform on which small payloads are fitted to carry out experiments.The upper stage of PSLV-C55 rocket that went up on Saturday had seven experimental payloads.According to M. Sankaran, Director, U R Rao Satellite Centre (URSC), the thought of using the upper stage came four years ago as it will be in the space for a long time.Sankaran said the space agency took steps to stabilise the upper stage in space and then upgraded the same.Somanath said commercial electronics are used in the upper stage to make it as an orbital platform and hence its life span will be short.vj/uk/Disclaimer: This post has been auto-published from an agency feed without any modifications to the text and has not been reviewed by an editor
