Following the triumphant launch of Chandrayaan 3, India’s lunar mission, ISRO intends to initiate other space exploration missions.
The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) successfully launched the Chandrayaan 3 mission. That already touched down on the moon’s south pole on August 23. The space agency is currently in discussions about developing Chandrayaan 4.
To advance India’s understanding of space exploration, ISRO is gearing up to launch several space exploration missions. This comes in the wake of the impressive success of the Chandrayaan 3 mission and the deployment of Aditya L1, the nation’s inaugural solar observation mission.
After Chandrayaan 3 Future ISRO space missions list
INSAT 3DS
The Indian National Satellite System (INSAT) 3DS is one of the ISRO-developed INSAT series of satellites. The goal is to launch the mission in January 2024. The satellite’s mission is to monitor the weather system, learn more about disaster relief, and provide critical meteorological forecasts.
Gaganyaan 1
Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd (HAL) and ISRO are working together to develop Gaganyaan for its inaugural flight. It is scheduled to launch in January or February 2024.To prepare for India’s planned three-person crewed manned space mission, Gaganyaan 1 is scheduled as a test flight.
NISAR
NASA and ISRO are working together to launch a synthetic aperture radar satellite as part of the NASA-ISRO Synthetic Aperture Radar (NISAR) project. It will be the first dual band radar imaging satellite, launched in January 2024.
X-ray Polarimeter Satellite
The X-ray Polarimeter Satellite is set to launch into orbit in the first few months of 2024 and will remain in orbit for at least five years. It will observe pulsars, black-hole X-ray binaries, active galactic nuclei, and non-thermal supernova remnants to investigate the polarisation of cosmic-rays.
Venus Orbiter Mission
For the first time in the nation’s history, ISRO intends to launch a spacecraft to orbit the planet Venus as part of the Venus Orbiter Mission. Launched in 2025, the spacecraft will orbit Venus for five years in order to research the planet’s atmosphere.
