Science satellite next year
Mumbai: India’s first science satellite, Astrosat, is set to be launched next year, the former Chairman of the Indian Space Research Organisation, Madhavan Nair, said on Saturday.
One more satellite, ‘Aditya,’ to study Sun’s coronal mass ejection will be launched in two years and the science mission to Mars by 2013, Mr. Nair said. He was addressing scientists from India and abroad and students at the finale of the Homi Bhabha birth centenary celebrations on Saturday. The multi-wavelength astronomy mission Astrosat will be launched next year by the PSLV from the Sriharikota launch pad. The expected operating life time of the satellite will be five years.
‘Adiyta’ will be launched in the next two years to study the properties of CMEs, which are gigantic bubbles of electrified gas that billow away from the Sun. — PTI
