ISRO is inching closer to launch its ambitious human space mission with the first experimental unmanned flight of the crew module on the newly developed Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle (GSLV) Mark III in May -June from Sriharikota, said Dr K Radhakrishnan, chairman ISRO and secretary, Department of Space. The GSLV-MK-III is being developed as a heavy-lift vehicle capable of placing satellites weighing up to 5,000 kg in geosynchronous orbit. “The experimental flight of GSLV Mark-III with a passive cryo stage will be flown to study the performance of the launch vehicle during the crucial atmospheric phase. This opportunity is used to study the re-entry characteristics of crew module,” Dr Radhakrishnan who was here for launching of Village Resource Centre of ISRO in Puducherry, told Express. The indigenously developed crew module is planned to be launched on ISRO’s advanced launch vehicle GSLV MK-III. Speaking about the manned mission, Dr Radhakrishnan said “Currently no programme has been fixed for the manned mission. We are studying the critical new technologies for subsystems such as crew module (CM), environmental control and life support system (ECLSS), crew escape system and other requirements for undertaking the manned mission.” The manned mission envisages carrying two or three crew members on the crew module to about 300 km low earth orbit and their safe return to a predefined destination on earth. India’s maiden spacecraft to Mars - Mangalyaan - is healthy, on track and at a distance of 2.5 crore kilometer from earth and is expected to be placed on orbit by September 24, said Dr Radhakrishnan. The velocity has to be reduced for placing it in the orbit, which will be the challenge of the scientists, he added. The IRNS-IB satellite will be launched on PSLV -C 24 in the last week of April or March first week, he said. Source: Indian Express |
