Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Indian Space Research  organization (ISRO) has given  us  many reasons to celebrate in the  past,  and  it  is back once again with good  news.

 The space agency  is going to help  the US,  which is self-sufficient in space technology, launch its satellite  from  India’s  launch pad  at  Sriharikota.  The US  is the 20th country  seeking  India’s help  for launching its satellite;  ISRO  scientists have earlier  launched  45  satellites for 19 countries However,  what really  makes this news special is that India’s Polar Satellite launch  Vehicle  will push  the US satellite  into the orbit.  Besides this, other three  major  ISRO accomplishments this year  had  been: 1)100  days of  Mangalyaan: Remember Mangalyaan? It entered  the Red Planet’s orbit  onSeptember  24,  2014 after  a 666-million-km journey  from Earth in over 10  months,  and  made India  the first country  to taste  success in  its maiden  Mars mission.  The satellite sent  to Mars was none other Mangalyaan,  which  successfully completed  100  days on  January  1, 2015.It is still in the pink  of  its  health and is busy collecting scientific data.

Launch  of  India’s 4th  navigational satellite:  ISRO  successfully  launched  a navigation satellite using  the Polar Satellite  Launch Vehicle (PSLV) from Sriharikota  on March  28;  2015.It  will help  the country  to have its own version of  the Global Positioning system (GPS), useful  in  everyday  life for  navigation.  Having an accuracy  of less than  20  meters,  this system is comparable to the best in the world.

ISRO  launches five British satellites: On July  11,  2015,  Indian scientist successfully  launched  five British satellites  into the orbit  from Sriharikota.  Britain not  only  rented premium space from  ISRO  but also hired  a rocket  for  the first time.  The total weight of the British satellites is 1,440  kg,  making  this the heaviest commercial launch ever  to be undertaken by India. According  to an  official,  the 2.1tonne  capacity GSLV-Mark-II  would carry  a communication satellite.  It would also  launch even  other satellites by  March 2016.And  if all goes  well;  the Indian space agency might start it mission to Venus by  end of this year.
