reusable launch vehicle-technology demonstrator (rlv-td)
as first step towards realizing 2 stage orbit (tsto) re-usable launch vehicle, series of technology demonstration missions have been conceived. purpose, winged reusable launch vehicle technology demonstrator (rlv-td) has been configured. rlv-td act flying test bed evaluate various technologies viz., hypersonic flight, autonomous landing, powered cruise flight , hypersonic flight using air-breathing propulsion. first in series of demonstration trials hypersonic flight experiment (hex).
a scaled-down, unmanned version of india s futuristic space shuttle getting final touches @ vikram sarabhai space centre (vssc) in thumba of 20 may 2015. space plane part of rlv-td ready. in process of affixing special tiles on outer surface, needed withstanding intense heat during re-entry earth s atmosphere, ssc director m chandradathan said. isro has tentatively slated prototype s test flight first launchpad of sriharikota spaceport february 2016, date finalized depending on completion of construction. proposed rlv designed in 2 parts; manned space plane rigged atop single stage, booster rocket using solid fuel. rocket expendable while rlv fly earth , land normal airplane after mission.
the prototype- rlv-td weighs around 1.5 tonnes , fly height of 70 km. hex(hypersonic flight experiment) completed on 01:30 gmt, 23 may 2016.
unified launch vehicle
the ulv or unified launch vehicle launch vehicle in development indian space research organisation (isro). project s core objective design modular architecture enable replacement of pslv, gslv mk ii , gslv mk iii single family of launchers.it use semi-cryogenic core stage sc160 sce-200 engine 160 tonne of propellant loading of rp-1 , lox, producing around 2000 kn thrust.the sce-200 engine can clustered heavy launch configuration.the ulv able launch 6000 kg 10,000 kg of payload gto. mark renunciation of liquid stage vikas engine, uses udmh , n2o4, produce toxic fumes.
future extraterrestrial exploration
isro s missions beyond earth s orbit include chandrayaan-1 (to moon) , mars orbiter mission (to mars). isro plans follow chandrayaan-2 , missions venus , near-earth objects such asteroids , comets.
chandrayaan-2
chandrayaan-2 (sanskrit: चंद्रयान-२) india s mission moon, include orbiter , lander-rover module. chandrayaan-2 launched on india s geosynchronous satellite launch vehicle (gslv-mkii) in 2018. science goals of mission further improve understanding of origin , evolution of moon.
mangalyaan 2
the next mars mission launched in 2021-2022, have less elliptical orbit around red planet , weigh 7 times more first mission. announcement of opportunity (ao) addressed institutions in india involved in planetary exploration studies/the development of science instruments space. orbiter mission facilitate scientific community address open science problems. principal investigator of proposal should (i) able provide necessary details of instrument can address scientific problems , (ii) capable of bringing instrument team , lead team developing space qualified instrument. payload capability of proposed satellite 100 kg.
venus exploration
isro assessing venusian orbiter mission 2020 study atmosphere. jacques blamont, astrophysicist, has offered indian space research organisation gigantic balloons carrying several instruments designed pop in , out of extremely hot atmosphere of planet after being unfettered orbiter. budget has been allocated mission venus part of 2017–18 indian budget under space sciences.
solar exploration programme
isro plans carry out mission sun year 2019–20. probe named aditya-1 , weigh 400 kg. first indian space based solar coronagraph study corona in visible , near-ir bands. launch of aditya mission planned during heightened solar activity period in 2012, postponed 2019–2020 due extensive work involved in fabrication, , other technical aspects. main objective of mission study coronal mass ejections (cmes), properties (the structure , evolution of magnetic fields example), , consequently delineate parameters affect space weather.
venus , jupiter exploration
the isro in process of conducting conceptual studies take 2 years before deciding on plan send spacecraft jupiter or venus. ideal launch window send spacecraft jupiter occurs every 33 months. if missions occur, visit both planets happen simultaneously. venus visited first, jupiter. take little on 3 months go venus, , take taking 23 months travel earth jovian orbit.
helium-3 mining
according scientist associated isro, india able meet entire energy requirements mining resources moon within next 2 decades.
speaking @ event in new delhi, sivathanu pillai, distinguished professor @ indian space research organisation (isro), said of india s energy requirements needs met helium-3 mined moon.
2030, process target met, pillai said while @ three-day orf-kalpana chawla space policy dialogue, organized observer research foundation.
pillai, former chief of brahmos aerospace, said mining lunar dustfor helium-3 priority program isro. european space agency notes on website believed isotope provide safer nuclear energy in fusion reactor, since not radioactive , not produce dangerous waste products.
space science missions
the main objective of sre ii release recoverable capsule , provide platform conduct microgravity experiments on micro-biology, agriculture, powder metallurgy, etc. sre-2 proposed launched on board pslv. on 18 december 2014, isro tested unmanned crew module re-entry, splashed down later in bay of bengal planned. budget has been allocated space docking experiment mission part of 2017–18 indian budget under space sciences.
