INSAT-3DS satellite: ISRO launched improve disaster warning systems!

Indian Space Research Organisation which is known as ISRO, has successfully launched the INSAT-3DS satellite on GSLV-F14. The satellite was launched from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota at 5:35 pm today. It was fully funded by the Ministry of Earth Sciences or MoES.

This will boost India’s meteorological observations and services.

This newly launched INSAT-3DS satellite’s aim is to enhance the monitoring of Earth’s surface, atmosphere, oceans, and environment. It also has prepared to elevate the capabilities of data collection and  satellite-aided search and rescue services. This initiative will help to boost India’s weather, climate, and ocean-related observations and services. This will also be a great help to expand knowledge and better disaster mitigation in the future.

Geosynchronous Satellite is The 51.7-meter tall and 4 meter wide. This rhree-staged GSLV deployed INSAT-3DS into geosynchronous transfer orbit about 18 minutes after the liftoff. The satellite will then make its own way to geostationary orbit. Thr orbit lies lies 22,236 miles (35,786 kilometers) above Earth. INSAT-3DS is configured around ISRO’s well-proven I-2k bus platform with a lift-off mass of 2,275 kilograms.

The satellite is actually a follow-on mission of the third-generation meteorological satellite which is going to be placed in a geostationary orbit. “So the naughty boy has now become and matured as a very obedient and disciplined boy,” officials said of the GLSV rocket.

The objectives of this mission:

“I’m very happy to announce the successful accomplishment of the mission GSLV-F14. The spacecraft has been injected into a very good orbit,” ISRO chairman S. Somanth said in a post-launch speech, using the mission’s numerical name. “is designed for enhanced meteorological observations and monitoring of land and ocean surfaces for weather forecasting and disaster warning,” ISRO officials wrote.

The main motto is to monitor Earth’s surface, carry out oceanic observations. This It’ll also study the environment in various spectral channels of meteorological importance. The next objective of this mission is to provide the vertical profile of various meteorological parameters of the atmosphere. Another aim of this mission is to provide the data collection and data dissemination capabilities from the data collection platforms (DCPs). Last but not the least, to provide satellite aided search and rescue services and try to make them better.
