The year 2023 is giving a memorable farewell to India after giving many achievements.
We have shown our strength to the world in every field, but the year 2023 was very special for ISRO. We created history by landing Chandrayaan-3 on the South Pole of the Moon.
Then after some time Aditya-L1 was launched. Apart from this, 46 foreign satellites were launched.
Testing of Gaganyaan is going on, preparations are on to send it by 2025. ISRO is preparing to launch humans from space stations to the moon.
Not a single mission of ISRO has failed in 2023. With the same enthusiasm, ISRO is also making a great start to 2024. ISRO is ready for another launch on the first day of the new year.
It is about studying the mysterious world of black holes. Let’s take a look at ISRO’s achievements in 2023 and what are its future plans.
The Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) is all set to make a great start to the year 2024 with the launch of EXPOSat (X-ray Polarimeter Satellite) on Monday, January 1.
It is India’s first XPoSat, which aims to investigate the polarization of intense X-ray sources and study the mysterious world of black holes.
ISRO’s name is 2023
ISRO created many histories in the year 2023. These words of ISRO chief S Somnath will be recorded in the history books on August 23, 2023.
When he told the world – We have made a soft landing on the moon. It was a moment like the success of America’s Apollo mission for India, when Chandrayaan-3 landed the spacecraft on the south pole of the Moon, more than 3,84,400 km from the Earth.
Even though the year 2023 will be counted in India’s space history for the soft landing of Chandrayaan-3, this year ISRO sent Aditya L-1 to study the Sun. Apart from this, 46 foreign satellites were also launched.
Aditya-L1
Soon after the success on the Moon, ISRO took another leap into space within 15 days. ISRO scientists launched the Aditya-L1 mission on 2 September 2023 to study the Sun. This mission will study the corona, the outermost layer of the Sun.
This will help us understand the Sun more deeply. With this we will also know about the seasonal changes occurring in space. Aditya L-1 is a very important mission for India. If all goes well, it will reach its destination in mid-January 2024.
Gaganyaan
ISRO plans to launch the Gaganyaan mission by 2025. However, testing regarding this mission is going on from 2023 itself.
On October 21, ISRO successfully launched the first test flight of the Gaganyaan mission. In the year 2024 also, another testing flight will be conducted for this mission.
Under Gaganyaan, ISRO will launch the spacecraft with humans in 2025. In this three-day mission, humans will be sent to the Earth’s orbit to a height of 400 kilometers and then brought back safely to Earth.
planning ahead
Indian space agency ISRO is going to set up its space station by 2035. At the same time, the target has been set to send the first Indian to the Moon by 2040.
