Aryabhatta satellite image

• ISRO had proposed three names for the satellite in particular Aryabhata, Maitri and Jawahar. • Indira Gandhi had picked the name 'Aryabhata' for the India's first satellite. • Aryabhata satellite was sent off on April 19, 1975. New Delhi:Aryabhata was India’s first unmanned Earth satellite. It was named after the prominent Indian astronomer and mathematicianAryabhataof the 5th century AD. Built by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO), Aryabhata was launched onApril 19, 1975 from Kapustin Yar, a Soviet rocket launch and development site in Astrakhan Oblast using a Kosmos-3M launch vehicle. India used the Soviet rocket launch pad as a part of the Soviet Interkosmos programme which provided access to space for friendly states. The agreementsignedbetween India and the Soviet Union in 1972 allowed the USSR to use Indian ports for tracking ships and launching vessels in return for launching various different Indian satellites. Aryabhata, an experimental satellite ISRO had developed the satellite to explore conditions in Earth’s ionosphere, measure neutrons and gamma rays from theSun, and perform investigations in X-ray astronomy. India’s indigenously developed spacecraft was a 26-sided polygon with a diametre of 1.4 metre. Who gave the name Aryabhata? ISRO had suggested three names for the satellite namely Aryabhata, Maitri and Jawahar. Aryabhata was on the top. India’s first woman Prime Minister Indira Gandhi selected the name ‘Aryabhata’. Interesting facts about the...

English: Aryabhata was India's first satellite and was designed for studies of X-ray astronomy, aeronomics and solar physics. Unfortunately, a power failure halted experiments after 4 days in orbit, and all signals from the spacecraft were lost after 5 days of operation.

By Srinidhi Murthy Aryabhata I was an Indian mathematician and astronomer, who lived during the reign of the Gupta empire. One of the world’s most acclaimed mathematicians, he is known as the ‘Father of Indian Mathematics’. Here are some interesting facts about the great thinker. Illustration: Kavya Mittal Birth year Aryabhata mentions his age in his book Aryabhatiya. He mentions that he was 23 years old during the composition of Aryabhatiya and also noted that 3600 years had passed since the beginning of Kali Yuga. The implied year corresponds to 499 CE and thus suggests that Aryabhata was born in 476 CE. Spell Check There is a common tendency to spell the name of the mathematician as ‘Aryabhatta’, with the suffix ‘bhatta’. But it is interesting to note that the mathematician himself had mentioned his name as ‘Aryabhata’, with the suffix ‘bhata’, in the beginning and end of his book Aryabhatiya. Therefore, the correct spelling of his name would be Aryabhata. Birthplace There is still some debate among historians regarding the birthplace of Aryabhata. While some believe that he was born in Pataliputra (present-day Patna), others believe that the mathematician-astronomer was born in Kerala. Aryabhata I or Aryabhata the Elder Aryabhata is also known as Aryabhata I or Aryabhata the Elder to distinguish him from the tenth-century Indian mathematician with the same name. Aryabhata II also discussed theories, similar to the works of Aryabhata I, such as algebra, geometry, and th...

The first satellite of India named Aryabhata was launched by India on 19 April 1975 from Kapustin Yar, a Russian rocket Kosmos-3M launch vehicle. The satellite was assembled at Peenya, near Bangalore, but was launched by a Russian-made rocket. Launch date 19 April 1975 Rocket Kosmos-3M Launch site Kapustin Yar Operator Manufacturer ISRO Launch mass 360 kg (794 lb) Power 46 watts Weighed 794 pounds (360 kg) Inclination 750.6°
