National news : INSAT-3DS successfully established in Earth’s geosynchronous orbit

Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) has reported that INSAT 3DS satellite has been successfully placed in Earth’s geosynchronous orbit. ISRO said that all four Liquid Apogee Motor (LAM) firings have been completed. Now the satellite is expected to reach the orbit testing location by 28 February 2024. One sidereal day in a geosynchronous orbit is equal to 23 hours, 56 minutes and 4 seconds. In which the orbit of the satellite becomes similar to the rotation of the Earth. This orbit can be circular or non-circular type.

ISRO’s satellite INSAT-3DS was launched on February 17 from the Satish Dhawan Space Center in Sriharikota. INSAT-3DS was sent into space by the GSLV F-14 launch vehicle. GSLV-F14 is also known as Naughty Boy. In fact, 40 percent of the launches of this GSLV have been unsuccessful. This is the reason why this rocket has been named Naughty Boy.

INSAT-3DS will have these benefits
INSAT 3DS satellite is a weather satellite, which is an upgrade of INSAT-3D satellite. With the help of INSAT-3DS satellite, accurate information about weather related and natural disasters will be available. INSAT-3DS will be used to study the effect of sea surface and its temperature on weather. Also, with the help of INSAT 3DS, data can be collected from data collection platforms. INSAT-3DS is fully funded by the Ministry of Earth Sciences, Government of India. Through this satellite, the Indian Meteorological Department under the Ministry of Earth Sciences, National Center for Medium Range Weather Forecasting, Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology, National Institute of Ocean Technology, Indian National Center for Ocean Information Service and many other agencies are provided information through INSAT-3DS. Will get benefit.
