8 Tips To Save Yourself From Delhi Air Pollution
ISRO Space Mission: India sets its rocket off to space for the second time in two weeks with the successful launch of the Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle. ISRO (Indian Space Research Organisation) launched the satellite on its 56th mission to space, which was in collaboration with seven foreign satellites. The PSLV-C56 mission shoot up towards its destination from Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota, the same space station from where Chandrayaan 3 was launched. The launching took place in the early hours of the day.
The DS-SAR satellite, a Synthetic-aperture radar (SAR) that produces two-dimensional pictures or three-dimensional reconstructions of objects, was the main payload of the PSLV-C56 mission. The DS-SAR satellite, created through collaboration between DSTA, the government of Singapore’s representative, and ST Engineering, will meet the imagery requirements of several Singapore government agencies as well as ST Engineering’s corporate clients.
ISRO carried out the launch in accordance with a contract with New Space India Limited (NSIL). The launch on Sunday morning was ISRO’s 431st attempt to launch a foreign satellite from the nation.
After being launched from Sriharikota, all seven satellites were successfully placed into the desired orbit over 20 minutes later. At a height of 535 km, the 360 kg DS-SAR satellite was launched into a NEO (near equatorial orbit). It is equipped with a SAR payload made by Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI), allowing for day and nighttime coverage in all weather conditions and imaging at a resolution of 1 m.

The Singaporean government will be able to evaluate the harm caused by natural catastrophes, monitor land usage, track deforestation. Also, and support security and defence activities thanks to its high-resolution capabilities. The satellite can be used by businesses for things like infrastructure evaluation, agricultural monitoring, and oil and gas exploration.
Six co-passenger satellites were also launched along with the DS-SAR. These satellites include ARCADE, an experimental satellite for studying atmospheric coupling and dynamics, VELOX-AM, a technology demonstration microsatellite, Galassia-2, a nanosatellite in low-Earth orbit, and ORB-12 STRIDER, a satellite created through international cooperation.
The successful launch of PSLV-C56 and DS-SAR demonstrates India’s growing importance in the international space industry. India is also forging alliances and luring business satellite operators from all over the world. This not only brings in money but also advances the nation’s space economy.
