It enables users to map out their location altitude, longitude and latitude. IRNSS provides location information service to users in India and the region extending for up to 1, km from the Indian boundary. This is the primary service area of IRNSS information service to users in India and the region extending up to km from Indian boundary. IRNSS is a constellation of seven satellites in space.
Out of these, three are located in the geostationary orbit over the Indian Ocean and the other four in geosynchronous orbits, with the desired inclination and equatorial crossings in two different planes.
IRNSS aims to provide the following services: 1. Restricted Service RS for authorized users. For example defense. It is habitable and the largest artificial satellite that can be seen with the naked eye from Earth. It acts as a factory, observatory and laboratory. Description: The ISS is made up of different components like solar arrays.
Its first component was launched in orbit in with Proton and Soyuz rockets launching it. It is a work station in space for experiments which is capable to hold large number of crew members at a time. Astronauts are transported between the earth and ISS with rockets.
Cargo is transported through the Dragon rocket. It helps individual experiments and research and reduce the need of separate rocket launches and research staff. Research includes material science, weather, natural disaster etc.
Unlike unmanned spacecraft, ISS can send data on demand for the learning purpose of people on earth. This is only possible because of the invariable presence of crew members who replace each other from time to time.
Scientists on earth use data sent by crew members of ISS for research. Jawaharlal Nehru and scientist Vikram Sarabhai, considered amongst the founding fathers of Indian space program. Description: ISRO, by successfully demonstrating its unique and cost-effective technologies, has gained place among the elite space agencies in the world over the years.
The year marked the launch of Rohini, which was the first satellite to be successfully placed in the orbit by SLV-3, an Indian made launch vehicle. Both the rockets have successfully launched several earth observation and communication satellites for India as well as other countries. The success of the Mars Orbiter Mission made India only the fourth country in the world to reach the Martian orbit.

It carried the Rohini-1 satellite, an experimental satellite developed to test components that could be used in space. The first and so far only Indian astronaut is Rakesh Sharma, an Indian Air Force pilot who flew with two Russian cosmonauts to the Soviet space station Salyut 7 in Sharma prepared for his time in microgravity with specialized yoga exercises, according to the Indian history section of Space Today.
He also conducted multispectral photography of the northern region of India in preparation for construction of hydroelectric power stations in the Himalayas during his time in orbit. ISRO has conducted robotic missions to other worlds in our solar system.
In , the agency sent the Chandrayaan-1 orbiter to the moon. The probe, whose name means "moon craft" in ancient Sanskrit, was about the size of a refrigerator and helped discover evidence of water molecules on the moon.
The vehicle successfully reached Mars in , making India's space agency just the fourth entity to place a spacecraft in Martian orbit. The agency is gearing up for its next lunar mission, Chandrayaan-2 , expected to launch later this year.
Chandrayaan-2 will consist of a lunar orbiter, which will map the moon from an altitude of 62 miles kilometers , and a lander, which is expected to touch down near the lunar south pole and deploy a small rover. If the mission succeeds, India will become either the fourth or fifth country to achieve a soft landing on the moon, following the U. The Israeli lunar lander, Beresheet, is on its way to the moon now, and is expected to touch down on April India is aiming to become one of the few nations to send humans into space using their own rockets.
