The Indian National Space Promotion and Authorization Center (IN-SPACe), in collaboration with the ISRO, is providing a chance to the trade and the academia to launch a payload on the upcoming PSLV Orbital Experiment Module (POEM) missions tentatively scheduled throughout November 2023 and June 2024.
“The role of the space sector is very important in the overall development of the national economy, and there is a need to give special thrust to increase technology development under the domain of space science and technology. An essential part of such R and D is the demonstration of the technology and product in the space environment,” the announcement said.
It added {that a} widespread methodology adopted is to combine the payload right into a satellite tv for pc and supply the principle bus to assist the payload operations.
However, for varied organisations wanting to qualify their payloads within the area surroundings, the event of a whole satellite tv for pc is useful resource intensive and is probably not cost-effective,” it added.
The POEM makes use of the “spent PS4 stage” (fourth stage of PSLV) to perform in-orbit scientific experiments. POEM has customary interfaces and packages for energy era, telemetry, telecommand, stabilisation, orbit protecting and orbit manoeuvring and therefore can be utilized to design, develop and validate experimental payloads.
The capabilities of POEM have been demonstrated in two PSLV missions, the newest being PSLVC55.
