ISRO must go for onboard video!!!

I think they do, during the tracking , saw a guy watching videos that liked on board shots !

ISRO must go for onboard video!!!

They actually have it, released a few seconds of it from one of the launches after many requests...dont know why they are secretive about it.

I hope they realize the importance of it by the next moon mission, those videos look really cool!

Feels good to launch a heavy satellite without need of the frenchies

INSAT-3DR
INSAT-3DR similar to INSAT-3D, is an advanced meteorological satellite of India configured with an imaging System and an Atmospheric Sounder. The significant improvements incorporated in INSAT-3DR are:

• Imaging in Middle Infrared band to provide night time pictures of low clouds and fog
• Imaging in two Thermal Infrared bands for estimation of Sea Surface Temperature (SST) with better accuracy
• Higher Spatial Resolution in the Visible and Thermal Infrared bands

And, like its predecessor INSAT-3D, INSAT-3DR carries a Data Relay Transponder as well as a Search and Rescue Transponder. Thus, INSAT-3DR will provide service continuity to earlier meteorological missions of ISRO and further augment the capability to provide various meteorological as well as search and rescue services.

INSAT-3DR has a lift-off mass of 2211 kg, which includes about 1255 kg of propellant. The propellant carried by INSAT-3DR is mainly required to raise the satellite from the Geosynchronous Transfer Orbit (GTO) to its final Geostationary Orbit and to maintain the satellite in its orbital slot during its life. The satellite has a solar array generating 1700 Watts of power.



Payloads of INSAT-3DR:

INSAT-3DR carries a multi spectral Imager, 19 channel Sounder, Data Relay Transponder and Search and Rescue Transponder.

2211 kg
Launch Vehicle:
GSLV-F05 / INSAT-3DR
Type of Satellite:
Communication

All the building blocks of ASAT is there, just the political will is required.

heard somewhere perigee accuracy is 300 m and apogee accuracy is 80 m. so we are certainly very close in making asat. But wont be tested any time soon with our growing closeness to usa (cause their habbit poking nose in everything)

Congratulations ISRO.
How many times have they made us all proud

Really fantastic achievement and a great team work. Congratulations to all the scientists.
You guys are the best.

Satellite orbit accuracy within 300meters

I have noticed that GSLV accuracy is much more since we using Indian cryo engines. Russian cryos were not fully optimised for GSLV.
