Isro Rocket Stage

ISRO on Tuesday said the cryogenic upper stage of the LVM3 M3/OneWeb India- 2 mission has re-entered the Earth's atmosphere.

ISRO said on Saturday its space platform, POEM-3, has successfully achieved all its payload objectives. POEM-3 (the PSLV Orbital Experimental Module-3) uses the spent PS4 stage of the PSLV-C58 rocket that launched XPoSat on January 1 this year.

The flight acceptance hot test of the CE-20 cryogenic engine that will power the cryogenic upper stage of the launch vehicle for the Chandrayaan-3 mission was successfully conducted, according to the Indian Space Research Organisation.

India has put in place appropriate measures to manage the increasing space debris in low earth orbit comprising defunct satellites, discarded rocket stages and other orbital trash, Union minister Jitendra Singh told the Lok Sabha on Wednesday.

ISRO's heaviest LVM3 rocket has been enhanced by up to 450 kg with a successful engine test, the Indian space agency said on Thursday. The LVM3 rocket, a three-stage vehicle with two solid motor strap-ons, a liquid propellant core stage, and a cryogenic stage, is capable of launching a four-tonne class of satellite to geosynchronous transfer orbit.

ISRO is all set to launch its new Small Satellite Launch Vehicle (SSLV) from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre on August 7. The launch, scheduled for 9:18am IST is open for the public to witness through ISRO's Launch Viewers gallery. The ground testing of the newly developed solid booster stage (SS1) was carried out on March 14.

Chandrayaan-2 ISRO mission aboard the GSLV Mk-III rocket will lift off from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota today. At 1:40pm, the filling of liquid hydrogen in Cryogenic Stage (C25) of GSLV Mk-III-M1 had been completed.

ISRO will launch the GSAT-7A communication satellite from Satish Dhawan Space Centre at Sriharikota on board the GSLV-F11 on December 19.

The PSLV-CA (Core Alone) version (without its usual strap-on motors) took off at 9:58am from the first launch pad.

ISRO said the countdown began at 5:58am IST on Wednesday and is progressing smoothly with the fourth stage/ engine getting fuelled up.

GSLV-Mk III rocket took off for its maiden flight at 5:28pm and began its ascent towards space, with the GSAT-19 satellite on board.

ISRO says the GSLV-MK III-D1 is a three-stage vehicle with two solid motor strap-ons, a liquid propellant core stage and a cryogenic stage (C25).

Indian space agency ISRO has given the country its best gift on the Republic Day - a successful testing of its most powerful cryogenic engine, code-named C25. Cryogenic engines are special rocket engines that use liquid fuel and provide the biggest push to a launcher vehicle, and so they are used in the upper stages of a rocket launch. The US used...

"We are also looking at that programme," K.Sivan, director, Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre (VSSC) told IANS on the phone from Sriharikota in Andhra Pradesh.

The Indian space agency is planning to look at the possibility of reusing its rocket stages after a launch by making them re-enter atmosphere and land at a specified location, a senior official said.
