MUMBAI: Isro’s small satellite launch vehicle-D2 (SSLV), launched on February 10, has helped enhance aviation safety.
The EOS-07 satellite that was flown by this new rocket carries an instrument—the spectrum monitoring payload—which employs signal detection to track aircraft movement. Designed and developed by Isro’s Ahmedabad-based Space Application Centre, the instrument will help avert aircraft collisions, D Sam Dayala Dev, director, Isro’s Inertial Systems Unit, Thiruvananthapuram, told reporters at VJTI’s Technovanza, a three-day science and technology festival that began on Friday. He said the instrument is now in the trial phase.
On new Isro missions, Dev said OneWeb’s 36 satellites will be launched by the LVM3 rocket towards the end of March, and India’s third mission to the moon—Chandrayaan-3—is provisionally slated for launch in June, depending on the “window of opportunity”. “All ground tests have been successfully completed,” he said. According to Dev, the landing trial of the reusable launch vehicle from a helicopter is expected to take place “anytime”.
