Isro Launch 2018

Vikram-S, the first privately developed rocket in India, blasted off from ISRO's Sriharikota launch pad on Friday. The 545-kg rocket developed by space startup Skyroot, has the capability of reaching Mach 5, five times the speed of sound, and carrying a payload of 83 kg.

India will launch its much-awaited human spaceflight mission in 2023, Union Science and Technology Minister Jitendra Singh said. Named Gaganyaan, the first human space mission to launch from Indian soil was initially set for August 2022, to mark 75 years of India's independence but the coronavirus-induced pandemic forced a delay in its timeline.

This is the second time the space agency deferred the mission launch after it was put off first time in October for unspecified reasons.

The missions include the second lunar mission Chandrayaan-2 to land on the moon with lander and rover.

In all, ISRO is looking at 31 space missions in a span of 16 months starting September 2018 to December next year.

India's ambitious mission to the moon piggybacking a lunar rover is postponed once again with a possible lift off only in 2019. The Chandrayan-2 mission was earlier slated for October 2018 and is now rescheduled because oftechnical glitches. This delay may now give Israel an opportunity to edge past India with its moon landing.

2018 is proving to be a very busy year for India's space agency ISRO, with a mission planned for each month. The Indian Space Research Organisation has already launched 3 important satellites between January 1 and April 12. These include remote sensing satellite Cartosat-2 on board the PSLV-C40 rocket in January, communication satellite GSAT-6A on ...

Less than a fortnight after ISRO launched home-made communications satellite GSAT-6A, the space agency is geared up to launch its independent and home-made navigation satellite IRNSS or Indian Regional Navigation Satellite System. The IRNSS-1I satellite will lift-off on board the PSLV-C41 rocket on Thursday morning.

The Indian Space Research Organisation or ISRO will launch its latest communication satellite - GSAT-6A on Thursday, March 29, 2018. The launch will happen from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Andhra Pradesh's Sriharikota at 16:56 hrs (4:56 pm) IST. Like its predecessor GSAT-6, the GSAT-6A too, is a high power S-band communication satellite.

The countdown for the launch of ISRO's 100th satellite along with 30 others in a single mission, from the space port of Sriharikota, around 110 kilometres from Chennai, began today. This will be the 42nd mission of ISRO's trusted launcher PSLV, or Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle.

India plans to have at least one rocket launch every month in 2018 from its spaceport at Sriharikota in Andhra Pradesh to deploy satellites in orbit, said a top space official today. "We are planning to have at least one launch mission a month in 2018 to deploy satellites in the earth's orbit for various applications," said Indian Space Research Or...

ISRO has started flight integration activity for its next lunar mission Chandrayaan-2 and scientists are currently carrying out tests for the lander and the rover that will explore the moon.

ISRO plans to launch the GSLV MARK II satellite carrying the SAARC satellite in March this year, GSLV MARK III carrying GSAT-19 communication satellite in April, and Chandrayaan-2 in the first quarter of 2018.

It may be just one step for a small startup, but it is a giant leap for India's space program. Team Indus, a private company that wants to be the country's first to send a rover to the moon and plant the flag Indian flag on its surface on Republic Day January 26, 2018, has bought a ticket aboard a 320-ton giant rocket, bringing it closer to its goa...

Riding on the recent success of its Mars Orbiter Mission (MOM), India plans to revisit the planet in 2018.
