Study Notes
ISRO Mission Details
- ISRO (Indian Space Research Organisation): A government space agency in India focused on space research and technology development.
ISRO Missions & Details
-
RISAT: Remote Sensing Satellites; categorized by the resolution of data they collect for Earth Observation; varies by mission. Launch dates, launch sites, specific materials and exact fuel types are highly variable, mission specifics matter.
-
GSAT: Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicles; utilized for communication, navigation and other applications; various missions with varied launch dates and sites. Specific material types and fuel used are not universal and differ by mission and objective.
-
INSAT: Indian National Satellite System; primarily for communication and meteorological purposes. Variations in launch dates and locations exist for different satellite missions within the INSAT system; the materials and fuel vary by satellite. Specific missions need detailed research.
-
GAGANYAAN: India's human spaceflight program; details regarding launch dates, launch sites, materials, and fuel types would be very specific to mission particulars.
-
SHUKRAYAAN: Mission to Venus (or a Venus mission). Potential future ISRO mission; details including launch dates, launch sites, material, and fuel type will be disclosed well ahead of launch date.
-
General Points (Missions): ISRO missions, often are not all released together openly and the detailed material compositions and fuel specifications often are not public information; individual mission details need independent study. Launch date is essential to knowing associated missions' details and exact fuel types. Information on the exact launch site, material types used for each mission, and the specific type of fuel would likely be mission-specific and detailed study required.
