Year End Review: India Achievements of Department of Space during the year 2015




Following are the significant achievements and details of the Innovative Programmes launched by the Department of Space during the year 2015:

1.             MARS Orbiter Mission:

India's Mars Orbiter Spacecraft has successfully completed its mission objective as planned and has completed one year around Mars orbit on September 24, 2015. It was successfully placed into an elliptical orbit around planet Mars on September 24, 2014. The Mars Orbiter successfully came out of the solar conjunction (a phase of communication blackout) in July 2015 using the On-board autonomy built in the spacecraft. The Spacecraft is in good health and all the five scientific payloads are providing valuable data about the Mars surface features and Martian atmosphere. The images of Mars captured by the Mars Colour Camera have been found to be of very good quality.  The increased duration of observation of Mars by five scientific payloads beyond the designed life of six months is enabling enhanced coverage of Mars in different seasons. A book titled ‘From Fishing Hamlet to Red Planet’, India’s space Journey, with series of articles from luminaries from ISRO, was released on November 05, 2015, on the second anniversary of Mars Orbiter spacecraft launch. 

By successfully placing Mars Orbiter Spacecraft around Mars, ISRO has become the fourth space agency to successfully send a spacecraft to Mars orbit and India became the first country in the world to do so in its first attempt. The mission has benefited the country by (i) Upgrading the technological capabilities in spacecraft design including onboard autonomy, miniaturization, optimization of onboard resources (ii) providing excellent opportunities in planetary research for the scientific community and (iii) generating interest in youth of the country towards science and technology.

Mars Orbiter Mission has been awarded “Space Pioneer Award” for science  and engineering category for the year 2015 by the US based National Space Society. The Indira Gandhi Prize for Peace, Disarmament and Development has been awarded to ISRO in recognition of its path-breaking.

2.              Successful launch of GSLV with Indigenous Cryogenic Stage:

On Aug 27, 2015, Geo-Synchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle (GSLV-D6), equipped with the indigenous Cryogenic Upper Stage (CUS), successfully launched GSAT-6, the country's advanced communication satellite, into a Geosynchronous Transfer Orbit (GTO). This was the second consecutively successful flight of GSLV with the indigenous CUS, which underscores the success of ISRO in mastering the highly complex cryogenic rocket propulsion technology. This launch also signifies a major step forward in achieving the self reliance in launching 2 Ton class communication satellites into GTO.

3.              Development of Next Generation Geo-Synchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle Mk III:

 The first experimental flight of heavy lift next generation launch vehicle, GSLV-Mk III, was successfully conducted on December 18, 2014 from Sriharikota. This flight has validated the complex atmospheric regime of flight and demonstrated the Integrity of design of GSLV Mk III.

During the experimental flight of GSLV Mk III, the unmanned Crew module Atmospheric Re-entry Experiment (CARE) has also been successfully tested for its re-entry performance. Crew module splashed down over Andaman Sea with the help of its parachutes and was recovered from the sea with the help of Indian Coast Guard as per the mission plan.

Endurance hot test of High Thrust cryogenic engine (CE20) of GSLV-Mk III was successfully conducted on July 20, 2015.  The test was conducted for 800 seconds as compared to its nominal burn duration of 635 seconds during flight. This engine will be used for powering the Cryogenic stage (C25) of GSLV Mk-III launch vehicle. Another short duration (5.7 s) hot test on the CE20 engine has been carried out on Aug 10, 2015 to demonstrate the successful engine ignition with tank pressure conditions as in flight.

GSLV Mk III is designed to launch 3.5 to 4 Ton class communication satellites to Geosynchronous Transfer Orbit.



4.              Navigational Satellite System:

Indian Regional Navigational Satellite System (IRNSS) is designed as a constellation of seven satellites to provide satellite based navigational services in the country. 

IRNSS-1C, the third Navigational satellite of India, was successfully launched on-board Polar Satellite launch Vehicle PSLV-C26 on October 16, 2014. IRNSS-1D, the fourth satellite in this series was successfully launched on-board PSLV-C27 on March 28, 2015.  The first two satellites viz. IRNSS 1A &1B were launched on-board PSLV earlier on July 01, 2013 and April 04, 2014 respectively.

With the operationalisation of four navigational satellites in orbit, it is now possible to provide Position, Navigation and Timing services. The IRNSS constellation of seven satellites is expected to be completed by 2016.

The IRNSS System will benefit the country by providing positioning services over Indian Land Mass and a region extending to the about 1500 Kms around India. The convergence of communication, earth observation and navigation satellite technologies will prove to be a boon in coming years for location based services and informed decision making.

GAGAN (GPS Aided GEO Augmented Navigation), which is primarily being used in aviation sector for precise position information services, has been certified by DGCA for Navigation Performance level of Approach with Vertical Guidance (APV-1) over India. With this, India becomes the Third country in the world, after USA and European Union, to offer Global Navigational Satellite System (GNSS) based precision approach services to civil aviation sector. The GAGAN System jointly developed by ISRO and AAI is a giant leap forward in the development of GNSS services in India and will redefine navigation in both aviation and non-aviation application areas.

Representatives from all SAARC member countries have participated.

10.          Disaster Management Support:

The Indian Remote Sensing, Meteorological and Communication satellites have immensely helped in the management of recent events of disasters witnessed by the country viz. J&K Floods, HudHud Cyclone and J&K Landslides. These satellites have provided near real time support in terms of early warning, assessment of damages, emergency communication. The massive landslides blocking Sun Koshi River in Northern Nepal in August 2014 and Phuktal River in Zanskar region of J&K in January-March 2015 were monitored regularly using Indian Remote Sensing Satellites. Flood inundation maps and information on their progression & recession were disseminated on daily basis to concerned agencies.

During the recent earthquake in Nepal, remote sensing data obtained from Indian and foreign satellites was analyzed in near real time to identify the collapsed structures and new landslides resulted due to earthquake in parts of Nepal. The processed information derived from satellite data was provided to National agencies viz. Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA), National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) and National Disaster response Force (NDRF) and also to international agencies viz., British Army, UK; International Centre for Integrated Mountain Development (ICIMOD), Nepal; National Intelligence Agency of US, and UNOSAT and other relief teams of Nepal, Korea, Russia, France, Germany etc. for unifying the efforts and coordinating rescue operations.

Innovative Programmes launched and its expected positive impact on the general public:

1.             Identifying the water bodies in tribal dominated districts, which could be
developed to culture fisheries

Tribal inhabitants require regular income mechanisms, instead of current assistance protocols delivering resource only in periodical fashion. Ministry of Tribal Affairs has programme on identifying existing and potential water collection spots which could be developed for fish culture using Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MNREGA). This scheme is for 168 Tribal dominated districts (> 25 % tribal population) in 24 States/UTs.

ISRO has provided maps for small water bodies generated using satellite data. In order to use these satellite based maps, capacity building for the state level officials has been done in Odisha, West Bengal, North-East, Gujarat and Jharkhand. This enables identifying existing water bodies and identifying new sites, wherein Runoff can be harvested for fish cultivation along with conventional farming.

Water body database will be used to plan enhancement of fishery as livelihood alternative or livelihood augmentation in tribal areas. Small water body based fishery can help tribal inhabitants to get regular nutrition as well as income.

2.              Monitoring and evaluation of developmental activities in the watersheds

Department of Land Resources programme on Integrated Watershed Management Programme (IWMP) is for restoring the ecological balance by harnessing, conserving and developing degraded natural resources such as soil, vegetative cover and water.

ISRO is providing online satellite data, tools and mobile app through Bhuvan geoportal for monitoring of watershed developmental activities for about 52,000 micro-watersheds in 10 States and 50 identified districts across the country. Capacity building is also being provided to DoLR officials in utilizing the Bhuvan tools for satellite data, GIS and mobile apps. The effective implementation of the IWMP will ensure Optimal soil & water conservation and assured crop irrigation due to water resources harvesting which help to provide sustainable livelihoods to the people residing in the watershed area.

Farmers get their livelihood on sustainable basis due to biomass improvement also. De-silting of tanks and other watershed activities that provide employment generation under MNREGA are also being evaluated using satellite data.

3.              Space Based Information Support for Decentralized Planning:

Using high resolution satellite data, state-wise natural resource database is being generated for the entire country at 1:10000 scale.  This spatial data base integrated with field level information and traditional wisdom helps in preparation of locale-specific action plans for land & water management for development of their locality. The availability of such information at grass root level enables decentralized planning and empowering panchayats in decision making.

Bhuvan Panchayat Portal provides functionalities required to carry out the decentralized planning process at grass-root level. Citizens in general and three tiers of Panchayati Raj Institutions (PRIs) (Gram Panchayat, Block Panchayat and District Panchayat) in particular are the users of the Portal. It helps PRIs in tracking the progress of work undertaken by citizens under various schemes.


4.              Conservation of heritage sites

The conservation of world heritage sites, ancient monuments and archaeological sites is of national importance and helps in development and promotion of Tourism, which is one of the major engines of economic growth. The systematic database of heritage sites and Site Management Plans generated using space technology will help to take informed decisions in conservation, preservation and monitoring activities of the site. The space based technology tools are also being planned for mapping and identification of vulnerability of each monument and preparation of plans to track and mitigate environmental or weather changes that may have an adverse impact on fragile monuments. 

5.              Automated warnings at unmanned level crossings

Pilot studies for automatic warnings at unmanned level crossings have been carried out using GAGAN, Rail-Navigator tools; MSS based tracking system and Bhuvan.  It comprises of a geospatial database on the accurate locations (geographical coordinates) of unmanned level crossings and GAGAN enabled devices mounted on the train engine.  A train mounted with such a device would know the location of unmanned level crossing and train’s hooter will automatically start when it approaches near to an unmanned crossing. Expert committees/ Councils are setup by Railways to discuss and finalize the modalities of implementation.

6.              Weather and Climate

 Indian meteorological satellites provide synoptic measurement and derivation of various weather parameters such as cloud motion vectors, cloud top temperature, water vapour, humidity, rainfall at frequent intervals to aid in improved weather forecasting, including the genesis of cyclones, their track and landfall prediction.

The data products are disseminated through web based services for the needs of scientific community in the country. Also, Android Application has been developed for viewing 3 hourly weather forecasts.

7.              Bhuvan Geoportal

 It is providing seamless high resolution remote sensing data (1m to 2.5m) for visualization, terrain data and thematic layer overlays of Indian region along with host of services in the areas of disaster, weather, land and ocean for general public. It has about 51,000 registered users and has served more than 2.8 lakhs downloads.

On 12th August 2015, the Union Minister of State (Independent Charge) Development of North-Eastern Region (DoNER), MoS PMO, Personnel, Public Grievances & Pensions, Atomic Energy and Space, Dr. Jitendra Singh, released New services of Bhuvan. The new application services include – 1 m images of over 300 Cities of the country and host of visualization applications for common man.

Real dirt of India lies not in our streets but in our minds and in our unwillingness to let go of views that divide society into ‘them’ and ‘us’, ‘pure’ and ‘impure’; free our public discourse from all forms of violence, physical as well as verbal, says President

Real dirt of India lies not in our streets but in our minds and in our unwillingness to let go of views that divide society into ‘them’ and ‘us’, ‘pure’ and ‘impure’; free our public discourse from all forms of violence, physical as well as verbal, says President
The President of India, Shri Pranab Mukherjee inaugurated a new Archives and Research Centre at Sabarmati Ashram, Ahmedabad, Gujarat today (December 1, 2015). 

The President said we live in times when the world needs Gandhiji more than ever. The responsibility we shoulder to spread his word and message is more pressing now than ever before. Gandhiji was not just the Father of our Nation but also the maker of our Nation. He gave us the moral vector to guide our actions, a measure by which we are judged. Gandhiji saw India as an inclusive nation where every section of our population lived in equality and enjoyed equal opportunity. He saw India as a country which would celebrate and constantly strengthen its vibrant diversity and commitment to pluralism. Gandhiji wanted our people to move forward unitedly in ever widening thought and action. And most of all, he did not want us to convert the celebration of his life and message into a mere ritual. 

The President said Gandhiji taught us to be morally innovative. If India leads in moral innovation, all other forms of creativity which we have in abundance - would automatically fulfil the Talisman that Gandhiji gave us, namely, wiping every tear from each eye. The real essence of Gandhiji’s legacy and its continuing resonance lies in his injunction to us that all our actions must keep in mind the last person. The last person in India is often a woman, a Dalit or an Adivasi. We must constantly ask ourselves, do our actions have meaning for them? The “Tryst with Destiny” that Pandit Nehru spoke of was this obligation. We must empower the poorest of the poor. Everyone must act as Trustees of collective welfare and wealth. The essence of being human is our trust of each other. The damage we see to the environment all around us- reminds us of the need for Trusteeship. 

The President said every day we see unprecedented violence all around us. At the heart of this violence is darkness, fear and mistrust. While we invent new modes of combating this ever spiralling violence, we must not forget the power of non-violence, dialogue and reason. We must free our public discourse of all forms of violence, physical as well as verbal. Only a non-violent society can ensure the participation of all sections of the people, especially the marginalised and the dispossessed in our democratic process. 

The President said the real dirt of India lies not in our streets but in our minds and in our unwillingness to let go of views that divide society into “them” and “us”, “pure” and “impure”. We must make a success of the laudable and welcome Swatch Bharat Mission. However, this also must be seen as just the beginning of a much larger and intense effort to cleanse minds and fulfil Gandhiji’s vision in all its aspects. Gandhiji would tell us – and Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar would agree with him - that so long as untouchability persists, so long as dehumanising practice of carrying night soil persists, we cannot have real Swacch Bharat. Gandhiji insisted on the dignity of all human labour and expressed his desire to be a scavenger. We must remember that Gandhiji wished to be a scavenger of our hearts as much as of our villages. 

The President said only those who are confident of their conviction, secure in their faith and rooted in their culture can hope to live in an open house, an open society. If we close ourselves in, seek to be immune from other influences, it shows that we are prepared to live in a house that is devoid of fresh breeze. Hriday Kunj’s lesson to us in contemporary India is that we must build an open society ever ready to engage with diverse ideas and thoughts on equal terms. 

The President said Gandhiji was an advocate of knowledge without barriers. Gandhiji’s life should be understood as a whole, not piecemeal, and certainly not fragmented. The capacity for compassion and empathy is the true foundation of our civilisation. Gandhiji used a very special word for civilisation, SUDHAR, which he said is not just the good path or the right path but also that which holds human civilisation together. Let us pledge to join hands and build an India that truly exemplifies this SUDHAR.
