While the PM’s promise was to “undertake a manned space mission on board ‘Gaganyaan’ carrying the national flag”, that project has been delayed. ISRO’s SSLV, however, is a feat on its own as it was developed to place satellites and payloads weighing less than 500 kg into the earth’s lower orbit. The official launch will take place from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota at 9:18 am on August 7. To mark country’s celebrations of ‘Azaadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav’, the SSLV will have a co-passenger satellite called ‘AzaadiSAT’ comprising 75 payloads built by 750 young girl students from 75 rural government schools across India. This project was specially conceptualised for the 75th Independence Day year celebrations to encourage scientific temper and create opportunities for young girls to choose space research as their career. The SSLV weighs around 120 tonnes and can carry up to 500 kg into space standing tall at the height of 34 metres, the launcher is considered to be one of the best and cost-effective workhorse from the ISRO stable. ISRO chairman S Somanath calls the new satellite a “game changer” that will drive India’s dreams of breaking into the lucrative and booming small satellite launch market. With the shortest turnaround time, this cost-effective rocket, which can be launched on demand, has been designed for large-scale production. With its successful launch, the SSLV will help create more collaborations between the space sector and other private Indian compan...
