ISRO s recent report discloses a 4-second launch delay for Chandrayaan-3 to prevent collisions with debris objects and satellites. The Indian Space Situational Assessment Report (ISSAR) for 2023 highlights space asset vulnerability to environmental hazards, emphasizing the need for Space Situational Awareness (SSA). The report also details India s satellite count, active deep space missions, satellite re-entries, and successful launches in 2023. ISRO implements collision avoidance maneuvers based on IS4OM/ISTRAC analyses to protect operational spacecraft.
ISRO Chairman S Somanath has said that the essence of Chandrayaan-3 extends beyond a mere call to embrace space studies; it urges participation in the broader realms of engineering and science, fostering a dynamic scientific community.
The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) will continue its Chandrayaan series of lunar probes until an astronaut from the country lands on the Moon, ISRO Chairman S Somanath has said.
