Indian Space Research Organization ISRO’s PSLV has completed the zero orbital debris mission. This means that now debris will not be scattered in space from the rocket launched by ISRO. This step is another milestone in the series of achievements of ISRO.
ISRO said that this mission was achieved on March 21, when the PSLV Orbital Experimental Module-3 (POEM-3) completed its mission through re-entry into the Earth’s atmosphere. The space agency said, the PSLV-C58/ExpoSat mission has left practically zero debris in orbit. According to ISRO, after completing the primary mission of placing all the satellites in their desired orbits, the terminal stage of PSLV has been transformed into a 3-axis stable platform, POEM-3.
Reduced risk of accident
According to ISRO, after its main objective of delivering satellites to the desired orbit, PSLV splits into three parts. This is named POEM 3. In the first stage, PSLV was brought from an orbit of 650 km altitude to an orbit of 350 km. This gave PSLV the opportunity to reach the orbit quickly and entered the orbit quickly. This reduced the risk of accidents during orbit change.
Encouragement of private participation for payloads
9 different types of experimental payloads have been installed in POEM-3. Many types of scientific experiments are to be done with this. Out of these, 6 payloads have been given by non-governmental organizations. These payloads were made within a month. However, it costs a lot. Therefore, ISRO has decided to encourage private participation in this. ISRO has done many latest experiments in the recent months. Recently, ISRO’s reusable launch vehicle technology was successfully tested. It was named Reusable Launch Vehicle Pushpak.
