Kiran Kumar emphasized ISRO’s significant role in enhancing India’s global reputation in space technology.
)
Former SBI chief Arundhati Bhattacharya, Prasar Bharati chairperson A Surya Prakash and ISRO head AS Kiran Kumar have been appointed as members.
)
According to Kiran Kumar, his journey included working on latest projects, bringing in new capabilities to the country in space segment and infrastructure, and addressing issues related to observation, communication and navigation.
)
Currently, India has 42 operational satellites for different purposes including communication, navigation and research.
)
The country had on September 24, 2014 successfully placed the Mars Orbiter Mission spacecraft in the orbit around the red planet, in its very first attempt, thus breaking into an elite club.
)
The state-run space agency will schedule its next launch mission after a committee studying the cause of the failure submits its report soon.
)
Satellites are housed atop the rocket and covered by a heat shield or payload fairing, which protects them from getting burnt when the rocket crosses the atmosphere.
)
The exact cause of the mission's failure can only be determined once the officials conclude their study.
)
With the consortium, ISRO plans to increase the number of PSLVs so that the frequency of launches can match the number of launch vehicles, ISRO chief said.
)
ISRO and the Israel Space Agency (ISA) had signed a cooperation agreement during the visit of Prime Minister Narendra Modi to the Jewish state last month.
)
The first one will be the Chandrayaan-2 mission, an advanced version of its previous 2018 mission with the objective of deeper lunar surface probe, and the second mission will be an initiative by Team Indus – a group of space enthusiasts that wants to unfurl the tricolour on the moon's surface as part of a global lunar competition.
)
Addressing the media after flagging off ISRO's workhorse rocket, the PSLV-C38, he said that ISRO was all set for the launch of GSAT-17 and there is more lined up for the future.
)
According to AS Kumar, there will be one more developmental flight of 640 ton GSLV Mk III, with a capacity to lift four ton satellites, before it graduates to operational mode.
)
This heavy lift rocket is capable of placing up to 8 tons in a low Earth orbit, enough to carry India's crew module.
)
The Prize was presented by former Prime Minister and IGMT trustee, Dr Manmohan Singh, in the presence of Mrs Sonia Gandhi, Chairperson of the Indira Gandhi Memorial Trust (IGMT), and was received by Shri AS Kiran Kumar, Chairman, ISRO on behalf of ISRO.
)
GSLV Mark-III would be a powerful launch vehicle built to lift heavy communications satellites to space.
)
ISRO is trying to increase its capacity to deliver by scaling up the frequency of launches by building more satellites, lowering the cost of access to space and also to do heavier satellite launches.
)
Formerly named 'SAARC Satellite', the satellite's name was later changed to 'South Asia Satellite', after Pakistan was dropped from the list of nations taking part in the project.
)
SRO will develop an engine that will help in the controlled landing on the moon. The mission is currently planned for the first quarter of 2018.
)
Kumar said ISRO was also mulling tying up with the industry to enhance the country's satellite launching capability.
