Bengaluru, Jan 11 : The launch of India's second Moon mission, Chandrayaan-2, is planned for the middle of April this year, Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) chairman K Sivan announced Friday.


ISRO had earlier said Chandrayaan-2 will be launched in a window between January-February 16 this year.

The mission, costing nearly Rs 800 crore, is an advanced version of the previous Chandrayaan-1 mission about 10 years ago.

"Regarding Chandrayaan-2 schedule, right now Chandrayaan is scheduled from March 25 to April end. Most probably, the normal targeted date is April middle," Sivan told reporters here.

He said the space agency had earlier planned to launch the spacecraft sometime between January and February but it could not materialise because certain tests could not be conducted.

"Once we missed the February target, next available target is April. Right now it is planned for April," the ISRO chief added.             PTI

Bengaluru, Sep 18: It was a verdict he had been longing for with anguish after nearly two and half decades of wait in the ISRO espionage case.

But it was not to be. Former space scientist K Chandrasekhar slipped into coma hours before the Supreme Court delivered its judgement on Friday, dismissing the espionage case as a frame-up.

In its verdict, the apex court held that former Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) scientist Nambi Narayanan was "arrested unnecessarily, harassed and subjected to mental cruelty" in a 1994 espionage case.

It also awarded Rs 50 lakh compensation to 76-year-old Narayanan for being subjected to mental cruelty in the case, in which Chandrasekhar was also one of the six accused but was exonerated along with others in 1998.

Even as the much waited ruling came at 11 am, Chandrasekhar's final journey from the world had begun.

"He fell into coma on Friday at 7.15 am and passed away at the Columbia Asia Hospital on Sunday at 8.40 pm. He was anxiously waiting for the verdict from early hours of Friday," said Chandrasekhar's wife K J Vijayamma as tears welled up in her eyes.

Vijayamma recalled the final hours of the scientist who underwent untold agony and misery in the false case that shattered him and his family.

Chandrasekhar had undergone a surgery to remove gall bladder stone. On Friday at 3.15 am, he asked for coffee and spoke about the case too saying that the verdict would be pronounced today, she said.

"He knew that the verdict will come on Friday and he was confident that they all will win. But he wasn't there to listen to the news he had been waiting for more than two decades," Vijayamma told PTI here today.

Chandrasekhar had worked as India's Representative to Russian space agency Glavkosmos since 1992.

It was her job in the public sector undertaking HMT as General Manager that saved the couple from the financial travails after the false case cost Chandrasekhar his job.

"We were leading a royal life and after this case we suddenly became penniless. We could manage to survive because of my job, said Vijayamma.

She claimed that there were attempts to dismiss her from the service for her husband's background.

Even today Vijayamma is anxious to know what made the intelligence agencies cook up a story and frame the six.

The espionage case, which hit the headlines in 1994, pertained to allegations of transfer of certain confidential documents on India's space programme to foreign countries by two scientists and four others, including two Maldivian women.

The case was first investigated by the Kerala police and later handed over to the CBI, which found no espionage as was alleged to have taken place.

The case also had its political fallout with a section in the Congress targeting then chief minister late K Karunakaran over the issue, that eventually led to his resignation.

In 1998, the top court granted a compensation of Rs 1 lakh to Narayanan and others, who were discharged in the case, and directed the state government to pay the amount.

Narayanan later approached the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) claiming compensation from the state government for the mental agony and torture he suffered.

The NHRC, after hearing both sides and taking into account the apex court judgement of April 29, 1998, awarded him a compensation of Rs 10 lakh in March 2001. (PTI)

New Delhi, Sep 14: The Supreme Court Friday held that former ISRO scientist Nambi Narayanan was "arrested unnecessarily, harassed and subjected to mental cruelty" in a 1994 espionage case and ordered a probe into the role of Kerala police officers.

A bench of Chief Justice Dipak Misra awarded Rs 50 lakh compensation to 76-year-old Narayanan for being subjected to mental cruelty in the case.

The bench, also comprising Justices A M Khanwilkar and D Y Chandrachud, formed a three-member panel headed by its former judge D K Jain to probe Narayanan being framed in the spy case.

Narayanan had approached the apex court against the judgement of the Kerala High Court, which said no action was required to be taken against the former DGP and two retired superintendents of police K K Joshua and S Vijayan, who were later held responsible by the CBI for the scientist's illegal arrest.

In 1998, the apex court granted compensation of Rs 1 lakh to Narayanan and others, who were discharged in the case, and directed the state government to pay the amount.

He later approached the NHRC claiming compensation from the state government for the mental agony and torture suffered by him.

The NHRC, after hearing both sides and taking into account the apex court judgement of April 29, 1998, awarded him interim compensation of Rs 10 lakh in March 2001. (PTI)

Bengaluru, Sept 6: India and France Thursday announced a working group for Gaganyaan, ISRO's first manned mission announced by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Independence Day.

The announcement was made at the sixth edition of Bengaluru Space Expo by French space agency President Jean-Yves Le Gall.

India plans to send three humans to space before 2022.

The Indian Space Research Organisation's mission is significant as it would make India one of the four countries in the world after Russia, US and China to launch a manned space flight.

ISRO and CNES, the French space agency, will be combining their expertise in fields of space medicine, astronaut health monitoring, life support, radiation protection, space debris protection and personal hygiene systems, Gall said.

Engineering teams have already begun discussions and it is envisioned that infrastructure such as CADMOS centre for development of microgravity applications and space operations or the MEDES space clinic will be used for training of future Indian astronauts, as well as exchange of specialist personnel, Gall said.

ISRO plans to conduct experiments on microgravity through its astronauts.

French-Indian space cooperation spans in areas of climate monitoring, with a fleet of joint satellites devoted to research and operational applications, innovation, through a joint technical group tasked with inventing the launch vehicles of the future.

The two also have plans to work on Mars, Venus and asteroids.

Gall said, "CNES is especially proud to be working on this endeavour alongside ISRO to share the experience it has acquired from the first French human spaceflights to Thomas Pesquet's Proxima mission, and to hone our own expertise by learning from ISRO's innovative developments in the field of crew transport. (PTI)

Hyderabad, Jul 9: A growing large economy like India with huge domestic market should build aircraft indigenously and make sure that it does not depend on international entities alone to meet its needs, says an eminent scientist.

The former Chairman of Indian Space Research Organisation A S Kiran Kumar said India is now poised for a significant growth in the aircraft industry.

The President-elect of Aeronautical Society of India said many of the Indian industries and private enterprises actually contribute to the global aircraft industry and provide some key components because of the "advantages" they have.

These industries and enterprises are establishing newer capabilities within the country. "In the coming days and years, there is a tremendous opportunity, we need to build on the capabilities of the country," Kiran Kumar told PTI.

Companies globally are realising there is a tremendous potential in India to make cost-effective components and sub-systems, and "gradually things are moving in this direction," according to him.

More and more entrepreneurs, Kiran Kumar said, are gradually trying to pitch in and capture the market.

"It's a positive development that's happening and in the coming days and years, we also need a large number of aircraft; if we are able to do some more developments on aircraft industry within the country, it will be great," he said.

Government, Kiran Kumar said, needs to make sure that the environment is conducive within the country, and industries are supported and encouraged to build aircraft.

"We also need to make sure that we don't depend only on outside entitities for building the aircraft, we need to start building in the country," Kiran Kumar said.

Indian aircraft manufacturing industry should start developing, he said.

"We cannot be depending on international sources as we keep growing as one of the largest economies in the world, and we have a huge market within the country.

Unless we start building our own aircraft....

airlines...indigenous development...it's a very important aspect which needs the attention of everybody," he said.

"We want Indian aircraft to be realised. Right now, some of the Indian companies have started providing parts to the global aircraft industry, we want an Indian aircraft to also come out," he said.

Kiran Kumar agreed that such an endeavour needs a clear road-map and vision to achieve the objective. (PTI)

Sriharikota, Apr 12: The Indian Space Agency was all set to create a record of sorts as it was gearing up to launch nine more missions in the next eight months this year, including the heavy rocket GSLV Mk-III and the Chandrayaan-II mission, ISRO Chairman K Sivan said on Thursday.
If it fructifies, this would be for the first time in the annals of the Indian Space agency that its launch capabilities touched double digit, ever since it embarked on testing of sounding rocket systems.
Addressing the scientists after the successful launch of the IRNSS-1I navigation satellite by the workhorse launch vehicle PSLV-C41 from the First Launch Pad, the second mission in a gap of two weeks, he said the space agency was gearing up for a lot more launches in the next eight months this year.
'We will be launching the GSAT-29 satellite using the GSLV Mk-III rocket (carrying the indigenous cryogenic engine) and also GSAT-11, besides PSLV launches that included the Chandrayaan-II mission towards the end of the year', he added.
GSAT-29 is configured around ISRO’s enhanced I-3K Bus and will be the payload for second developmental flight of GSLV-MkIII-D2. 
It would carry Ka x Ku multi-beam and optical communication payloads for the first time. 
The mission targets for Village Resource Centres (VRC) in rural areas to bridge the digital divide.
The satellite would serve the under served and unserved populace of the country. 
About today's mission, he said he was extremely happy to announce that the PSLV-C41 precisely injected the eighth navigation satellite in the Navic constellation into the desired orbit.
He said ISRO has broken its own history of launching its second mission in a short gap of 14 days after the GSLV-Mk II mission on March 29 when GSLV-F08 successfully launched GSAT-6A Satellite into Geosynchronous Transfer Orbit, though the satellite lost its contact with the ISRO Control Centres after two orbit raising maneuveres.
Congratulating the entire ISRO community for this wonderful achievement, Dr Sivan said the PSLV-C41 was the 43rd PSLV mission. He said many new modifications has been added to this launch vehicle. UNI

Chennai, Apr 11: The 32-hour countdown for the launch of 1,425 kg navigation satellite IRNSS-1I by the indigenous rocket PSLV-C41 commenced at 2004 hrs in the spaceport of Sriharikota on Tuesday night and has been progressing smoothly.
ISRO sources on Wednesday said, in its 43rd flight, the 44.4 m tall PSLV-C41, with a lift off mass of 321 tonnes, would soar into the skies from the First Launch Pad at 0404 hrs early tomorrow morning.
During the countdown propellant filling operations would be carried out in the four stage vehicle.
About 19 minutes after lift off, the 1,425 kg satellite, would be injected into the sub-Geosynchronous Transfer Orbit (Sub-GTO) at a perigee of 284 km and an apogee of 20,650 km, with an inclination of 19.2 deg to the equator.
After carrying out Orbit raising manouevres using the onboard propulsion systems, the satellite would be placed in the Geosynchronous Orbit at a height of 36,000 km with an inclination of 29 deg.
ISRO would be using the 'XL' version of PSLV for the mission. 
This would be be 20th flight of PSLV-XL version and the 32nd PSLV mission from the First Launch Pad.
The Satellite, with a life span of ten years, would transmit signals for the determination of position, navigation and time.
It would be the ninth satellite in the Indian Regional Navigation Satellite System (IRNSS) segment.
It would also serve as a replacement for IRNSS-1A after its failure of its rubidium atomic clocks, which would provide accurate positional data.
Its predecessors, IRNSS-1A, 1B, 1C, 1D, 1E, 1F and 1G were launched by PSLV-C22, PSLV-C24, PSLV-C26, PSLV-C27, PSLV-C31, PSLV-C32 and PSLV-C33 in July 2013, April 2014, October 2014, March 2015, January 2016, March 2016 and April 2016 respectively. 
The configuration of IRNSS-1I is similar to IRNSS-1A, 1B, 1C, 1D, 1E, 1F and 1G.
Like its other IRNSS predecessors, IRNSS-1I also carries two types of payloads--navigation payload and ranging payload. 
The navigation payload of IRNSS-1I transmits signals for the determination of position, velocity and time. 
This payload was operating in L5-band and S-band. Rubidium atomic clocks are part of the navigation payload of the satellite. The ranging payload of IRNSS-1I consists of a C-band transponder, which facilitates accurate determination of the range of the satellite. 
It also carries Corner Cube Retro Reflectors for Laser Ranging.
It may be recalled the previous PSLV-C39/IRNSS-1H mission failed as the satellite did not get separated from the heat shield. UNI

Bengaluru, Mar 31: Indian multi beam high throughput communication satellite GSAT 11 has reached the European spaceport of Kouru in French Guiana for a scheduled launch during the second half of May on-board Ariane 5 dual payload launcher during flight VA243.
The 5.87 tonne GSAT 11 might be perhaps the last Indian communication satellite through an acquired foreign launcher according to ISRO sources.
Meanwhile ISRO said that the first orbit raising operation of GSAT 6A launched by GSLV-F08 on Thursday had been carried out successfully by firing the LAM engine for 2188 seconds on Friday. The satellite was now orbiting the earth once in 12 hrs 45 minutes, the apogee and perigee height was changed to 36412 km and 5054 km respectively after the first maneuvering operations.
The inclination of the satellite was11.93 degrees and this would be brought to 0 degrees finally.
The spacecraft controllers at the Master Control Facility in Hassan would be firing the LAM on two more occasions to take the satellite to its intended orbit of 36,000 km before it was nudged to its space home of 83 degrees east longitude.
GSAT 11 would provide multi-spot beam coverage over the Indian mainland and nearby islands, bringing significant advantages to the user community when compared with India’s existing INSAT/GSAT satellite systems. With its new system architecture and cutting-edge technology elements, GSAT-11 will generate a capacity of more than 12 Gbps for users from a single platform. Operating in Ku and Ka band the satellite employed a new 1-6k bus platform. It provides 32 user beams in Ku band and 8 hub beams in Ka band. The commercial pay load included Ka x Ku Band forward link transponders and Ku xKa band return link transponders. UNI
