[br][br]The Indian Space Research Organization or ISRO has given Indians several reasons to celebrate its existence. ISRO's intent to cement India's position in the space world is unquestionable.[br][br]Recently, ISRO said it would build a permanent space station for itself in the coming 5-7 years.[br][br]Apart from this, ISRO has a bunch of big projects lined up. Let's take a look at them.[br][br][br]ISRO will launch Chandrayaan-2 later this year[br][br]After the immense success of Chandrayaan-1, ISRO is preparing itself for its second moon mission, Chandrayaan-2.[br][br]On July 15, a lunar orbiter, lander, and rover will be launched on the heavyweight GSLV-MkIII rocket.[br][br]Once the spacecraft reaches the moon's orbit, it will try to make a soft landing in an area which is about 600 km away from lunar South pole.[br][br]First Indian mission to study the sun[br][br]Sometime between 2019 and 2020, ISRO will launch the Aditya-L1 mission, its first planned probe to study Corona, which is the Sun's outer layer.[br][br]Now, the temperature of Corona is much higher than the Sun's disc temperature of around 6000K.[br][br]No one knows why Corona gets heated so much and Aditya-L1 mission might be able to solve this mystery.[br][br][br]ISRO plans to finish gigantic Gaganyaan mission by 2022[br][br]In his 2018 Independence Day address, Prime Minister Narendra Modi made a big announcement that India would send astronauts to space by 2022.[br][br]This mission is named 'Gaganyaan' and if it ISRO pulls it off, then India will become the fourth nation to achieve this feat.[br][br]Rs. 10,000 crore have been earmarked for India's biggest space mission.[br][br][br]ISRO also intends to study Venus' atmosphere[br][br]Further, by 2023-2025, ISRO plans to send an orbiter mission to study the atmosphere of Venus, which is sometimes referred to as the Earth's "twin sister". This mission is named Shukrayaan.[br][br]Notably, the atmosphere of Venus is primarily made up of carbon dioxide. While Shukrayaan is on ISRO's to-do list, the agency is yet to figure out satellite configuration and payloads for the mission.[br][br][br][br]#Infinix_India.... |
