Raman-1 has wrapped its test fire and is ready for Flight 2. 🚀 This is the thruster that controls Vikram-1’s roll, the rotation around the rocket’s long axis, so the vehicle holds its orientation in flight. Here’s the run from the test stand. #Vikram1Flight2 #MissionUpdates #SkyrootAerospace

Secretary -MoES witnessed the ongoing unmanned trials of human submersible MATSYA for its floatation, submerged stability, ballast systems along with all subcomponents.. The vehicle successfully completed the tests as per test protocol to proceed for the next testing phase of MATSYA. #Matsya6000 #DeepOceanMission #moes #Samudrayaan #NIOT @moesgoi @DrJitendraSingh @iitmpune @cmlre_kochi @MoesNiot @CentreCoastal @NCS_Earthquake @incoismoes @ESSO_NCESS @tummalasrini @BalajiR_IITB

300+ Indians have spent years of their lives building satellites and critical technology for this country. They deserve better than having their work and patriotism questioned by manufactured controversies. I owe them a response. Here it is:

We questioned what was actually aboard EOS-05. Then we took those questions to ISRO through RTI. Our original article flagged that the widely repeated instrument specifications belonged to the lost EOS-03 / GISAT-1. Had the payload changed? We explicitly raised added thermal capability as one possibility. ISRO’s reply now confirms: EOS-05 carries a six-band long-wave infrared imager that EOS-03 did not have with 1,180 m resolution and a 378 km swath. This establishes an important difference between the two spacecraft: EOS-05 has thermal imaging capability that extends observation beyond daylight. It also corrects our earlier article’s statement that EOS-05 had no thermal band. Beyond that confirmation, our RTI obtained detailed payload specifications, swath widths, propellant mass, design life and power figures. Some questions remain unanswered. From the uncertainties we flagged to the answers ISRO provided read our full breakdown and the RTI reply: indianspaceflight.in/latest/… #ISRO #EOS05 #GISAT #GSLVF17 #EOS03

Forgot to attach the photo earlier. The one you shared is a Thruster valve with upstream latching functionality (Latchable Series Redundant Valve or LSRV) which is typically used in slightly smaller thrusters like the 10N, 22N etc but for bigger thruster systems (1/n)
