Over the moon: ISRO has had a fantastic year so far. Here are its accomplishments in 2023​

Designed and developed by ISRO, SSLVs offer a "launch-on-demand" facility for smaller satellites weighing up to 500 kg into low Earth orbit. SSLVs have proven to be a game-changer for ISRO in the small satellite launch market.

In the year 2023, the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) achieved historic milestones in the arena of space exploration. Since its inception in 1969, ISRO has so far accomplished 125 spacecraft missions, 94 launch missions, 15 student satellites and 431 foreign satellites among its numerous successful endeavours. This year alone, ISRO has successfully carried out eight successful missions including the “universal history maker” Chandrayaan-3. Whether reaching the moon’s south pole or studying the sun, ISRO is achieving its diverse space ambitions that too in budgets less than Hollywood sci-fi movies.

SSLV-D2/EOS-07 Mission​

On 10th February 2023, ISRO successfully launched its Small Satellite Launch Vehicle (SSLV)-SSLV-D2 and placed the Earth Observation Satellite-07 (EOS-07) and two co-passenger satellites — Janus-1 and AzaadiSat2 — in a 450-km circular orbit around the Earth. Designed and developed by ISRO, SSLVs offer a “launch-on-demand” facility for smaller satellites weighing up to 500 kg into low Earth orbit. SSLVs have proven to be a game-changer for ISRO in the small satellite launch market.

Designed and developed by ISRO, the Earth Observation Satellite (EOS-07) weighing 153.6 kg is used in various applications such as Agriculture, Forestry & Plantation, Soil Moisture and hydrology and Flood mapping. In this mission, ISRO added two new experiments mm-Wave Humidity Sounder and Spectrum Monitoring Payload. A detailed analysis of this mission can be read here.

ISRO will launch a crew of two to three members into a circular orbit 400 kilometres above Earth as part of the Gaganyaan project. The mission will take one to three days and will focus on assuring their safe return to Earth.

ISRO is making India a prominent global force and making India proud with their persistent endeavours to propel India to the top of the space exploration and commercial satellite launch markets.
