In this article, we discuss, Aditya L1 status and Live tracking and location of Aditya L1. As we all know Aditya L1 was launched on 2nd September 2023 and it is expected to reach its destination on 7th January 2024. We will cover all the updates of the Aditya L1 mission from its launch to its destination and its operations, So stay in orbit of Aditya L1. Aditya L1 is India’s first mission to study the Sun and its orbit is the Lagrange point (L1) of the halo orbit around the Sun-Earth system which is approximately 1.5 million km from…
XPoSat ( X-ray Polarimeter Satellite ) is India’s first and the world’s second dedicated polarimeter mission aiming to investigate the polarization of intense X-ray. ISRO is set to launch it with the PSLV C-58 mission on 1 January 2024 around 9:10 AM. X-ray polarization is a vital diagnostic tool for studying celestial sources, providing insights into radiation mechanisms and geometric configurations. Analyzing polarization signatures allows for measurements of accreting black hole mass and spin, understanding source geometry and local properties, exploring accretion flow, outflow, and jets, investigating X-ray scattering and reflection mediums, estimating strong magnetic fields, and unveiling radiation zones…
ISRO mission in 2024 is to carry forward of success achieved in the accomplishment of Chandrayaan 3 and Aditya L1. Now ISRO ( Indian Space Research Organisation ) gearing up for the next big projects in 2024 which can impact the world space sector. ISRO has a legendary history of success from 1969. Some missions in 2024 are experimental in nature and some missions are explorations of nature. It includes the NISAR mission, Gaganyaan 1 mission, SPADEX mission, XPoSAT mission, and some other small missions. ISRO Mission in 2024 NISAR Mission NISAR (NASA- ISARO Synthetic Aperture Radar ) satellite is…
The salaries of ISRO scientists are determined by the organized hierarchy within the organization. A fresh engineering graduate starts his career in ISRO as “Scientist/Engineer-C” or SC/SE and then is promoted to “Scientist- D” or SD then “Scientist-E” or SE and then “Scientist-F” or SF. In ISRO scientist or engineer is the same designation. SC or Scientist-C is an entry-level position for a scientist or engineer with a master’s degree. SD or Scientist-D denotes science having experience and holding a Ph.D. degree and leading R&D. SE or Scientist-E is a senior scientist having a Ph.D. degree and leading teams and…
