🇮🇳 Mission Successfully Accomplished! #ISRO

A reminder how important GISAT-1A Satellite means to India's #NationalSecurity

Unlike conventional remote-sensing satellites operating in Low Earth Orbit (LEO) that pass over a specific area only once every few days, GISAT-1A is positioned in a Geostationary orbit above the Earth. This fixed vantage point enables high-frequency imaging over the same geographic expanse acting as a 'Eye in the Sky' for the country during Day Time Hours.

The satellite can capture full-disk images of the Indian Subcontinent every 30 minutes and focus on selected target areas every 5 minutes.

GISAT-2 will be a dedicated Satellite launched by ISRO for the Indian Navy to track the Indian Ocean Region (IOR) even during the Night with high Optical Sensors for Night Vision providing round the clock monitoring and surveillance of the region.

While there's no update about the launch of GISAT-2 yet. It will be a Advance version of GISAT-1A (which is a replacement Satellite of GISAT-1/EOS-3) which is dedicated for dual use Satellite 🛰️ to look over the Indian Subcontinent Landmass during Daytime. #Space #ISRO

Expected orbit was 170x29000 km and achieved orbit with slight apogee gain was at 171x 31026 km

NVS-03 launch is next. Six more launches are planned in this financial year. Gaganyaan-G1 targeted in this calendar year.

Current vehicle (GSLV) capacity is 2250 kg to GTO. Not expected to improve further.

On TLP status: Completed design phase, realization phase to begin soon

EOS-05 expected mission life is 7 years confident it will perform for 9 years.

By 9 September orbit raising phase of EOS-05 will be done. After that the on-orbit checking will take a month. In two months it'll be fully operational.

On concerns related to SLC operations and management being handed over to pvt. sector

Concerns are genuine but we there to handhold them to make that program successful.

GISAT-1A First Orbit-raising operation was successfully completed by firing the Liquid Apogee Motor for 5,406 seconds.

The satellite’s orbit was raised from 171 km × 31,121 km to 20,000 km × 31,129 km.

#UPDATE: The second operation to raise the apogee of EOS-05 was completed successfully at 7:00 pm on September 06, 2026. The LAM engine fired for 338.9 seconds and the estimated apogee after manouever is 35786 km. The satellite health is normal. #ISRO #Space

ISRO has clarified that media reports regarding its privatisation or diminished role are entirely baseless, affirming it remains India's principal agency for core scientific research and strategic space missions. Rather than privatising, space sector reforms aim to transfer mature production and launch operations to private industry to expand overall capacity.

Offloading routine capabilities enables ISRO to redirect its expertise toward frontier technologies, planetary exploration, the Bharatiya Antariksh Station by 2035, and crewed lunar missions under Space Vision 2047. #ISRO #Space

Third and final orbit manoeuvring of EOS-05 (GISAT-1A) spacecraft completed.

The third and final orbit raising manoeuvre to increase the perigee of EOS-05 completed successfully at 8:57 pm on September 07, 2026.

The LAM engine fired for 1247 seconds and the estimated orbit after manouever is 34903 km x 35884 km.

The satellite health is normal.

#ISRO lays foundation stone of its Advanced Radar Research Centre at Chandrapur, Assam 🇮🇳

Under Project NETRA, ISRO is building:

📡An indigenous phased array radar
🎯Able to detect objects as small as 10 cm
🌍With a tracking range of up to 2,000 km
🏗️On 124 acres at the old Chandrapur thermal power plant site
🎓With internships and training for Northeast students

Why does Space Situational Awareness matter?
Earth's orbit is getting crowded with satellites and debris. Even a 10 cm fragment can destroy a satellite. ISRO carried out 19 collision avoidance manoeuvres in 2021, up from just 3 in 2015.

Until now, India has relied on NORAD and other foreign sources for debris data. NETRA will give India its own eyes in the sky to protect its growing fleet of satellites.
A first-of-its-kind ISRO facility for the Northeast.

🚀 #ISRO LEAPS TO RAPTOR-CLASS TECH FOR 2040 MOON MISSION!

🇮🇳 ISRO has unveiled its LOX-Methane engine roadmap for the Next Generation Launch Vehicle (NGLV). Advancing from the LM20-TD demonstrator, the agency is testing components for the LME1100 engine (70%+ 3D-printed) ahead of mid-2027 hot tests.

In a massive leap, ISRO quietly finalized the design for a 2400 kN Full-Flow Staged Combustion engine—the elite, hyper-complex Raptor-class tech that even the US and China barely fly. This powerhouse will fuel India's heavy-lift rocket for the targeted 2040 crewed lunar landing! 🌕🔥 #Space
