India's space agency ISRO is set to make its first launch of the year on Monday. Simultaneously sending three important satellites into Earth orbit.

According to ISRO, this time a very powerful ground observation satellite is being sent into Earth orbit. Whose name is ‘EOS-04’. Accompanying two more satellites. One of which is made by students. ‘Inspiresat-1’. The other is 'INSAT-2TD'.

ISRO said three satellites would be launched from the first launchpad at the Satish Dhawan Space Center in Sriharikota, Andhra Pradesh. The launch will take place at 5:59 a.m. on Valentine's Day on Monday unless the weather suddenly gets bad. ISRO's state-of-the-art ‘Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV)’ is mounted on the back of the rocket. The countdown officially started at 4:29 am on Sunday.

According to ISRO, the EOS-04 satellite that is being sent into Earth orbit this time is also called 'Radar Imaging Satellite (RISAT)'. Through this satellite, new agricultural and forest areas of the country will be explored. Suitable areas will be selected for afforestation. Apart from this, maps of new areas of the country which may be washed away by the severe floods will also be mapped based on the images and data sent by this satellite. ISRO expects the satellite to remain active in orbit for at least a decade.

The eight-kilogram Inspiresat-1 satellite, built by students, is being sent to conduct research on how the ionosphere of the Earth's atmosphere is changing rapidly with climate change.

At the same time, another ground observation satellite INSAT-2TD is being sent in collaboration with Bhutan. Which will find suitable areas for new farmland and afforestation along the border between the two countries.

According to ISRO, the EOS-04 weighing 1,610 kilograms is being sent into orbit by the ground observatory this time. The satellite is being sent into orbit around the Earth's pole. 529 km above the surface.

In addition, the satellite, which is being launched into space by ISRO this time around, is being built by the Indian Institute of Space Science and Technology (IIAST) and students from the University of Colorado at Boulder in the United States.

Apart from this, another satellite is being sent into orbit: INSAT-2TD. This is the initial phase of a joint Indian-Bhutanese satellite launch program. INSAT-2TD is being sent into orbit on an experimental basis to understand how perfectly that program can be implemented.

What is going to hit the moon, how big a hole will be created, scientists are curious

What will be the impact? How big a hole will be created in the chest of the moon? Scientists have no doubt that a huge hole is going to be formed in the chest of the moon due to the impact of whatever happens. -File image. What's up with the moon in a couple of weeks? Any big asteroids? Or a huge meteorite? Or a cosmic stranger from outside the solar system? The world's astronomical circles are now aroused by this curiosity. Whatever the impact, what will be the impact? How big a hole will be created in the chest of the moon? Looking at the abyss of that hole, will you find the mineral hidden under the back of the moon in the coming days? These seventeen questions are now revolving in the field of astronomers. However, scientists have no doubt that a huge hole is going to be formed in the chest of the moon due to the impact of whatever happens. Therefore, the Indian space agency ISRO's Chandrayaan-1, which was sent into lunar orbit, has already been instructed from the Bang...

Star lights in web pictures

 This telescope has a hexagonal mirror. Each arm is the size of a coffee table. These together will create a focus. That image was taken by NASA's James Webb Telescope The first image was sent by NASA's new space telescope James Webb. It showed the light of a star 256 light years away. Not only that, he also sent his own. Her golden mirror is shining in it. James Webb was sent into space on December 25 last year. This is the first time that spacecraft will be monitored in this way from space. This is the first time a 21-foot-long telescope has been sent into space. Better said than done, it is the Observatory. The first image taken on the web shows a star in the constellation Ursa Major 256 light-years away. Name ‘HD64406’. "It's a really wonderful moment," said Marshall Perrin, a scientist at the Space Telescope Science Institute in Baltimore, who was involved in the mission. This telescope has a hexagonal mirror. Each arm is the size of a coffee table. These tog...
