Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) is spear-heading all the activities in the field.Chandrayan I, India’s first unmanned mission to moon was announced on August 15, 2003. The Chandrayan I mission envisages placing a 525 kg satellite in a polar orbit 100 km above the moon and it will be launched using a modified version of India’s indigenous Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV).The main objectives of the Chandrayan include obtaining imagery of the moon’s surface using a high resolution remote sensing instruments in the visible, near infrared, low and high energy X-ray region.Considering the interest shown by the international scientific community, a provision has Read more…
Chandrayaan-1, India’s First Mission to Moon
It was a tremendous achievement in Indian space research programme soon after historic launching of Chndrayaan-1 to the orbit of the Moon. Once again India has proved that India is one of the advanced countries as concern to the space borne technology in the world. This achievement came to harness the goal of success due to some important relevant India’s space organizations which are mainly of Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO), Space Application Centre (SAC), National Remote Sensing Agency (NRSA), and Indian Institute of Remote Sensing (IIRS), National Physical laboratory (NPL), Defense Research and Development Organization (DRDO) etc. India is also very advanced in techniques of space borne application due to availability and dissemination of good digital satellite data. There are good resolution of satellite data derived from sensors like LISS-III, LISS IV and Panchromatic camera in the visible and Near Infra Red band of EMR spectrum which are the Read more…
