ISRO NAVIGATIONAL SATELLITE (IRNSS-1A) SET ON GEO-STATIONARY ORBIT
Indian Space Research Organization was successfully launched a Navigational Satellite on July 1, 2013 and Navigational satellite(IRNSS-1A) was placed on geo-stationary orbit on July 17, 2013. It is a great honor for Indian government and ISRO. When fifth Apogee motor was firing. It direction was changed. Exact firing time on July 06,2013 at 04:57Pm. Another operation systems are normal. Navigational satellite is with Geo-synchronous Orbit and 27 degree inclination at 44 degree East longitude. Satellite will complete one orbit around the Earth is 23hours,50m. IRNSS-1A present position values on Geo-synchronous orbit are Apogee 35,870km and Perigee 35,484km. After, satellite payloads will be operating for navigational and ranging objects payloads. Navigational payload will works trace and find out the objects for users. The navigational payload is mainly operating with two bands, L5-Band and S-Band. L5-band frequency range is 1176.45 MHz and S-band frequency range is 2492.028 MHz. IRNSS-1A satellite also contain ranging object payload, Ranging payload is operating on C-band. C-band transponders are trace particular range of objects. total operation life is 10 years for IRNSS-1A satellite. It also contains laser ranging works by Corner Cube Retro Reflector. Main applications by Navigational satellite are Global position system(GPS), Mapping for indian locations, road directions for travelers and used in navy, Army communication systems.
HUBBLE TELESCOPE FOUND A NEW MOON SATELLITE ON NEPTUNE BY ASTRONOMER MARK SHOWALTER
NASA Hubble telescope found a new moon on Neptune by Astronomer Mark Showalter. The new moon name is S/2004 N1. New moon is orbiting between Larissa and Proteus. It orbits Neptune's in 23 hours.
The new moon is a 14th moon orbiting to the planet. NASA announced officially on Monday. New moon estimated to be 20km in diameter, the moon distance from Neptune is 65,400 miles(1,05,251 kilometers). Astronomer Mark Showalter was researching in SETI institute in mountain view, Calitornia and he was searching on Hubble telescope images and Neptune's ring fragment circles.
Already Neptune's had many moons. Neptune's had largest moon. Largest moon name was Triton. Triton was discovered in 1846 and Neptune's second largest moon was Proteus. It was found by NASA's Voyager2 spacecraft and It found another five small moons, They are Naiad, Thalassa, Despina, Galatea and Larissa.
Neptune's third largest moon was Nereid. It was found in 1949.
TINY NEW SATELLITE PRODUCES A NATURAL GREEN MAP
A natural global map produces by a Tiny satellite. Tiny satellites is also called as Cubesat. This tiny satellite is looking like size of one washing machine and it was launched two months ago. This satellite is PROBA series of small satellites and satellite name was PROBA-V. Tiny satellite build by Belgian in the European Space Agency's.
The main purpose of the satellite is monitoring duties of the world. PROBA-V is a 15 years life time mission. PROBA-V will turn around to the Earth 14 times per a day and PROBA-V satellite is covering and capture globe every two days with 100-meter resolution camera.
Every 10 days , it will gives and produce a new 2,00,000megapixel image of the world. After 10 years, we will collect amazing images from tiny satellite. By tiny satellites, we will easy to observe, how earth weather and changing the world. ESA will built another a new Earth observing satellites. They are SENTINEL series of the satellites. The SENTINEL-3 should launch in next year.
