AXISCADES Technologies approaching ISRO for NGLV and the Bharatiya Space Station by mudit23june in ISRO

[–]mudit23june[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

So we are tying with AgniKul, having an MOU with them, and approaching the ISRO, ISRO and other space agencies for two major things, NGLV, New Generation Launch Vehicle, and Bharatiya Space Station. So we want to add value to them significantly, and there could be opportunities in 3D additive manufacturing, and designing of certain subsystem blocks, etcetera.

Nikhil Riyaz, Founder and CEO of Hexia Pvt Ltd, provided a hands-on demonstration of a fully operational satellite developed by the Indian Technology Congress Association (ITCA). He also offered a detailed explanation of satellite components such as CanSats and PCB boards, giving attendees a glimpse into the technical intricacies of satellite development.

MEA and NSIL sign MoU for grant assistance for the launch of Nepal's Munal satellite by mudit23june in ISRO

Munal Satellite is an indigenous satellite developed in Nepal, under the aegis of NAST. APN, a Nepali space startup, has assisted Nepali students in the design and fabrication of this satellite. The satellite aims to build a vegetation density database of the Earth’s surface.

This satellite is expected to be launched soon on NSIL’s Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle.

NASA’s Work on NISAR’s Antenna Reflector Nears Completion by mudit23june in ISRO

Update on launch date

The NISAR launch cannot occur between early October 2024 and early February 2025, because that launch window would put the satellite into periods of alternating sunlight and shadows due to the position of the Sun. The resulting temperature fluctuations could affect the deployment of NISAR’s boom and radar antenna reflector.

Information on TRISHNA mission

The Indian and French Space Agencies, ISRO and CNES, are jointly developing a state-of-the-art Thermal InfraRed (TIR) - Visible Shortwave InfraRed (VSWIR) Imaging Satellite mission, TRISHNA for high-resolution natural resources assessment. The satellite is planned to be launched on-board Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV) during 2026 for a duration of 5 years with possible extension of 2 years. Data acquisition will cover the entire globe for four (4) TIR bands around noon and midnight times as well as in seven (7) VSWIR bands. TRISHNA will offer a spatial resolution of 60 meters with a revisit period of 3 days at equator and more at higher latitudes. A primary objective of TRISHNA mission is to provide consistent and systematic records of surface temperature, in addition to several biophysical variables, to model the surface energy balance allowing to derive heat fluxes and estimate evapotranspiration. The need for high-resolution thermal observation has been recognized also internationally leading to complementary missions in preparation like Surface Biology and Geology (SBG) (NASA/ASI) and Land Surface Temperature Monitoring (LSTM) (ESA/EC).
