Organised by ISRO and the Science Museum, the 'Space on Wheels' mobile exhibition has arrived in Mavoor to foster scientific awareness among children by showcasing rocket models and India's space missions.
India's ISRO successfully launched its first geosynchronous Earth observation satellite, EOS-05, on the GSLV-F17 rocket, marking a significant return to flight after recent mission failures.
This mission is also the first under ISRO Chairman V Narayanan, who recently took charge and marks the agency’s maiden launch of the year.
The second-generation navigation satellite series is considered as a significant launch that would ensure the continuity of NavIC services.
With Sunday's success, ISRO put behind the anomaly experienced in its August 7 Small Satellite Launch Vehicle (SSLV) mission, that had then made the satellites unusable.
The objective of the launch was to place the Earth Observation Satellite EOS-3 in a geosynchronous orbit in space.
The launch was earlier tentatively scheduled at 17:43 hours on Thursday, subject to weather conditions, from the second launch pad of Satish Dhawan Space Centre at Sriharikota in Andhra Pradesh.
According to retired ISRO officials, there should be proper pressure in the liquid fuel tanks so that there is continuous flow of fuel to the combustion chamber.
