Bharti-backed OneWeb, the Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite communications company, on Sunday confirmed the successful deployment and contact of 36 satellites launched by NewSpace India Limited (NSIL), from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre (SDSC-SHAR) in Andhra Pradesh's Sriharikota.
The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) launched India's largest LVM3 rocket carrying 36 satellites from Andhra Pradesh's Sriharikota on Sunday morning.
The official social media handle of ISRO took to Twitter and said, "LVM3-M3/OneWeb India-2 mission: The launch is scheduled for March 26, 2023, at 0900 hours IST from the second launch pad at SDSC-SHAR, Sriharikota".
The Chang Zheng 2D 'Long March' rocket re-entered the atmosphere on Saturday after more than 200 days in space and burned up over the skies of Nepal, according to astrophysicist Jonathan McDowell.
This launch, taking place from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota, Andhra Pradesh, will be OneWeb's 18th launch to-date and its third this year, completing its first generation LEO constellation, and enabling the company to initiate global coverage in 2023, according to a company
The lift-off took place on Thursday, at 2:13 pm ET (local time). According to a statement from Bharti-backed OneWeb, its satellites separated successfully from the rocket. They were dispensed using three separation groups over a period of 40 minutes, with the last separation occurring 1 hour
Roberts said the number of satellites in space had more than doubled to around 8,000 as China launched more satellites than the United States did last year, Voice of America (VOA) reported.
A team of researchers, led by scientists at the University of Leeds, has used more than 10,000 satellite images, taken above the Antarctic Peninsula between 2014 and 2021, to understand how the flow of glaciers into the waters around the Antarctic alters during colder and warmer periods.
The launch has put ISRO's earth observation satellite EOS-07 and two co-passenger satellites Janus-1 and AzaadiSAT-2 into a 450 km circular orbit around the Earth.

It was believed that Hall thrusters, an efficient kind of electric propulsion widely used in orbit, need to be large to produce a lot of thrusts. Now, a new study from the University of Michigan suggests that smaller Hall thrusters can generate much more thrust, potentially making them candi
