ISRO's GSLV Mk III D2 / GSAT-29 Mission Full Launch video | Raw footage

GSAT-29 is among the advanced high throughput communication satellites planned by Isro, which has already launched the GSAT-19. The other two in the immediate pipeline are: GSAT-11, which was recalled from its launchpad earlier this year and is gearing up for a December launch, and GSAT-20, which is likely to be launched in 2019.

Together, these satellites will usher in an age of high-speed internet connectivity in the country, bridging the gap between cities and the hinterland.

Director of U R Rao Satellite Centre P Kunhikrishnan said GSAT-11 would be ready for launch from French Guyana on December 4.

GSLV-MKIII A three-stage heavy lift launch vehicle, GSLV-MKIII has two solid strap-ons as first stage, a liquid propellant core as second stage and a cryogenic as third stage. It is designed to carry 4-tonne class of satellites to geosynchronous transfer orbit (GTO) or about 10 tonnes to low earth orbit (LEO), which is about twice the capability of GSLV Mk II. That the present mission was only the second developmental flight of GSLV-MKIII means that the space agency needs a glitch-free launch to keep its date with the bigger missions while also establishing this class of rocket as its mainstay.

The 3,423kg communication satellite is designed for a mission life of 10 years. The three-axis body-stabilised multibeam satellite carries two high throughput communication transponders (Ka/Ku-band) intended to meet the communication requirements of users, including those in remote areas.

In addition, several new technologies such as Q and V band payload, data transmission through optical communication link will be demonstrated.

Liquid Propulsion Systems Centre director V Narayanan said the he indigenous cryogenic engine had performed “exceedingly well.”

Isro chairman K Sivan said, “With the successful launch, we have completed the developmental flights of GSLV MkIII.” He said the first operational flight of GSLV MkIII would be Chandrayaan-2 planned in January 2019. The rocket would also carry human to space. “The first unmanned mission will be in December 2020. There will be one more unmanned mission before the manned mission. The manned mission is planned for December 2021.”

He said nearly 90% of the activity in this mission had been done by industry for both the launcher and the satellite. “They supplied flawless systems and hardware for the mission,” he said.

The Indian Space Research Organisation (Isro) on Wednesday successfully placed another communication satellite in orbit, while also achieving a crucial success of GSLV-MkIII rocket which is slated to launch two big missions --Chandrayaan-2 and the human space mission -- in the next four years.

Around 17 minutes after lifting off from the second launch pad at Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota at 5.08pm, GSLV MkIII-D2 placed GSAT-29 in a geostationary transfer orbit (GTO) with the required inclination to the equator. A few days later, the satellite will be placed in its final geostationary orbit (GEO) using the onboard propulsion system. It will be located at 55°E longitude.

India launches first lunar lander, rover, on Chandrayaan-2 mission (July 22, 2019).

Closing out a week of historic lunar anniversaries, India’s space research organization, ISRO, attempted to make history of their own Monday morning with the launch of the Chandrayaan-2 lunar mission.

The spacecraft is part of the Indian Space Research Organization's, or ISRO, Chandrayaan lunar exploration program, which first saw an orbiter mission launch in 2008.

Chandrayaan-2 is a far more ambitious mission that includes three distinct spacecraft, an orbiter, lander, and rover. If successful, it will mark only the fourth time that a country has softly landed on the moon, behind Russia, the United States, and China.

The 5,244 pound Chandrayaan-2 orbiter will perform orbital measurements and serve as a communications link between ground controllers and the lander. Eight experiments will collect data on the lunar surface and environment, as well as surface mapping. Engineers estimate a one-year lifespan for the orbiter. Named after the founder of Indian space program, the 3,183-pound Vikram lander carries three experiments to measure the Lunar surface, atmosphere, and interior. Additionally, Vikram will transport the mission’s third component, a small, six-wheeled rover named Pragyan. Weighing in at just 60 pounds, Pragyan, which translates to wisdom in Sanskrit, will be India’s first mobile robotic explorer on another world. Its two science experiments will perform laser spectroscopy and X-ray spectrography. Pragyan will travel up to half a kilometer per day with a top speed of 1 centimeter per second. Engineers expect both the Vikram lander and Pragyan rover to operate for one lunar day, or two Earth weeks.

The combined Vikram lander/Pragyan rover, left, is seen integrating with the Chandrayaan-2 orbiter, right at the Satish Dhawan Space Center’s integration building prior to launch. P/c: ISRO A long spiral to the Moon.

Liftoff occurred on the first scientific flight of India’s largest rocket, the GSLV-MkIII, which made its first flight in 2014. Liftoff occurred at 5:13am EDT, or 2:43pm India Standard Time, from the Second Launch Pad of the Satish Dhawan Space Centre in India. Following separation of the rocket’s side boosters, core stage, and payload fairing, Chandrayaan-2 achieved Earth orbit 16 minutes after launch.

Chandaryaan-2 will use a low-energy flight profile for its voyage to the moon that will take up to 44 days to achieve its final orbit. The spacecraft will use its onboard engines to gradually rise its apogee – or furthest point in its orbit – performing a Lunar Orbit Insertion burn 30 days after liftoff. The spacecraft will then spend the next 13 days gradually lowering its apogee to create a circular orbit 100 kilometers above the lunar surface. 48 days after liftoff, the Vikram lander with Pragyan inside is slated to touch down near the lunar south pole. ISRO Chairman Dr. K. Sivan expects the landing to occur on September 7.

Chandryaan-2 was originally a joint Indian-Russian mission slated to launch in 2011; financial woes, coupled with the high profile failure of the Phobos Grunt Mars mission with Europe ultimately caused Russia to pull out of the project. India’s commitment to complete the missions by themselves pushed the launch to 2018 and further technological hurdles ultimately caused the mission to be delayed to the first half of 2019.  Click here to see our GSLV launch vehicle archive.

Explanation: On July 22nd this GSLV (Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle) MkIII rocket vanished from sight into a cloud bank an instant after this dramatic snapshot was taken. Launched from India's Satish Dhawan Space Centre it carried the Chandrayaan 2 mission spacecraft into Earth orbit. The spacecraft's orbiter, lander, and rover are destined for the Moon, though. In the coming weeks it will perform a series of orbit raising maneuvers, eventually transferring to lunar orbit in early September. Carrying the solar-powered rover, the lander is scheduled to separate and attempt its autonomous soft landing at high latitudes near the lunar south pole. It should arrive on the lunar nearside near local sunrise and the start of a two Earth-week long lunar day on September 7.

BEST COVER STORY Space – The final frontier

ISRO has been a major source of inspiration for entrepreneurs to finally have a little space on the space of their own and get a little closer to the mysteries that lies beyond. Here, we have the ‘space entrepreneurs’ talking about how they ventured into space, what they think about their mentor ‘ISRO’ and home ‘Indian aerospace industry’.

India’s GSLV MkIII-M1, successfully launched the Chandrayaan-2 spacecraft into an Earth’s orbit on July 22, 2019. This ‘Bahubali’ moment India awaited since almost a decade; a source of inspiration to all the eyes, physical and digital.The stars, the skies, the Sun, the moon and what lies beyond them has always caught the eye. When the whole world was wondering what lies in the sky, few people have succeeded in reaching the sky; they found openings in space. A new wave of space technology startups is skyrocketing in India, catching the world’s eye, keen to join the space race.

Startups of the space Manufacturing for the aerospace sector is a difficult task for various reasons. Some of the said complexities are capital intensive and require extensive technical equipment and facilities for prolonged gestation. Few of the start-ups have been dedicatedly catering to the demands of the aerospace manufacturing.

Astrome Technologies – Dr. Prasad H L Bhat, Chairman and CTO When we started Astrome, my colleague Neha and I, were firm on making profound use of space technology to uplift the life in emerging nations. On understanding the delinquencies, we realised that there’s a dire requirement of high speed internet infrastructure. Particularly in developing countries, because when the concerns will be resorted from space, it would profoundly thrive the economies of rural and semi-urban geographies.

Manastu Space – Ashtesh Kumar, Co-founder, CTO and Tushar Jadhav, Co-founder, CEO

We were finishing final integration of our satellite on to the Indian rocket PSLV, when during a discussion, the staff, there, mentioned how people have lost their lives while handling highly toxic and carcinogenic fuel hydrazine for the satellite. They were not astronauts who had glorious deaths. It became clear to us that if the world got to realise the full potential of the space, it has to be in a safe and sustainable way; for that we decided to create the world’s safest satellite fuel and propulsion system.

Skyroot Aerospace – Pawan Kumar Chandana, Founder, CEO and Bharath Daka, Co-founder, COO Skyroot is building India’s first private space launch vehicle and as founders we were part of this sector before. Hence, we know there is a gap in supply, and therefore a great opportunity too owing to increase in demand for space-based services. Our start-up is different because we were founded by former ISRO scientists, have a team with strong domain expertise, and also, we do not operate on conventional rules resulting in accelerated progress. Indian aerospace ecosystem is mostly subsystem suppliers and lacks OEM’s building world class products. We believe aerospace sector has the potential to be on the likes of IT revolution in India in the years to come.

Xovian – Raghav Sharma, Founder Well, we started this during our college days in 2012-13. During that time, my 1st publication of research paper on rocket propulsion made me create an online platform for aerospace innovation. Later on, we formed our venture Xovian in 2015 with a vision to provide sustainable solutions in satellite technologies. Currently, we are working on innovative remote sensing technology which can cut down the cost of factor by 100 compared to the current remote sensing technologies. This is one such thing that distinguishes us from the other start-ups.

ISRO’s role in propelling the growth of Indian aerospace industry The aerospace industry in India has grown significantly in the last 5 years. This has been, in large, possible, thanks to ISRO. The organisation’s technology transfer program and private industry contract program have helped new private players evolve in the industry. The aerospace industry also has a heavy dependency on other industries like manufacturing and electronics industries. ISRO has shown cognizance of this with their methodical interaction with those industries and development of their capabilities. Bhat, speaking about Astrome’s focus on internet delivery from space, has distinguished ISRO scientists like Dr P S Goel, Dr. B N Suresh as their key advisors. He further adds, “ISRO is responsible for some key leaps in India’s space technology, including the launch of Chandrayaan-II, and the work-horse standard launcher of PSLV.”

Ensuring product integrity in the aerospace industry Safeguarding a product’s integrity is highly essential, especially in aerospace industry. Daka says, “Matured engineering and quality assurance thought process, is the Holy Grail to ensure product integrity in the aerospace industry. He further adds, “As the cost and lead time to manufacture and test aerospace products is high, it is imperative to follow a streamlined process in both design and testing and also ensure no corners are cut in the process. However, this should not lead to unnecessary delay at times when things get stuck, where matured engineering judgment to move forward in the right direction with calculated risk plays a very important role.”
