ISRO mentioned on January 27 its space platform, POEM-3, has efficiently achieved all its payload objectives.
POEM-3 (the PSLV Orbital Experimental Module-3) makes use of the spent PS4 stage of the PSLV-C58 rocket that launched XPoSat on January 1 this yr.
ISRO mentioned POEM-3 flew with 9 payloads from Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre, Physical Research Laboratory, academia, and space start-ups.
By the twenty fifth day in orbit, POEM-3, which the space company described as a unique and inexpensive platform, accomplished 400 orbits.
Over this era, every payload was put into operation, as deliberate and efficiency was demonstrated.
POEM-3 is a three-axis-attitude managed platform with energy technology and telecommand and telemetry capabilities, for supporting payloads, it was famous.
It is predicted that POEM-3 will proceed orbiting for about 73 extra days earlier than re-entering the Earth’s ambiance.
“With the likely re-entry of POEM-3 in the next 75 days, the PSLV-C58 XPoSat mission will be leaving zero debris in space”, ISRO mentioned.
The experiments of ARKA200 (Xenon Based Electric Propulsion) and RUDRA (HAN based mostly Green Propellant Thruster) from Bellatrix, and LEAP-TD (Satellite Bus with VHF/UHF Downlink & UHF Uplink – Tested utilizing IIST floor station) from Dhruva Space had been accomplished.
Payload knowledge is collected usually for WeSAT (Solar irradiance and UV Index research) from LBS Institute of Technology for Women, BeliefSat0 (Amateur Radio satellite tv for pc) from Ok J Somayia Institute of Technology, RSEM (Radiation Shielding experiment) from TakeMe2Space, and DEX (interplanetary Dust particle experiment) from PRL for each orbit.
A 100W Fuel Cell Power System (FCPS), and Si-C based mostly High Power Li-Ion (10AH/32V) Battery from VSSC had been additionally demonstrated.
Thus all payload objectives had been totally met, ISRO mentioned, including, in missions of POEM-1 to POEM-3, it has flown a complete of 21 payloads from numerous institutes and industries.
After reaching all objectives, extra experiments with POEM-3 are deliberate for producing knowledge for future missions together with upcoming POEM configurations.
With the orbital decay and reentry of POEM-3 in three months, PSLV-C58 XPoSat mission will likely be leaving zero particles in space, ISRO added.
