ISRO's Satellite Death: ISRO destroys the country's inactive powerful satellite in the Indian Ocean


Cartosat 2 satellite died by controlled atmospheric: Cartosat-2 satellite of Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) has now died. On 14 February 2024, the satellite entered Earth's atmosphere. It then ended up being dumped in the Indian Ocean. A variant of the same satellite, Cartosat-2C, also assisted in the surgical strike.

High Resolution Imaging Satellite

The satellite was re-entered the Earth's atmosphere in a controlled manner to minimize debris spread and harm no one. Cartosat-2 satellite was launched on 10 January 2007 to take high-resolution photos of the country. So that roads can be made, maps made and other developments can be made. The time limit of this satellite was estimated at 5 years but it worked in space for 12 years. It was deactivated in the year 2019. Cartosat-2 was the first satellite of the second generation of the High Resolution Imaging Satellite series.

Cartosat-2 remained operational till 2019

The satellite was deployed in a sun-synchronous polar orbit. Its weight was 680 kg and from a height of 635 km above the earth, this satellite sent the best photos of the country till the year 2019. Initially, it was also hoped that Cartosat-2 would fall to Earth naturally within 30 years. But the scientists thought that it could be destroyed on the ground by using the fuel left in it. Hence he was brought back to earth following international rules. So that this inactive satellite does not become a threat by colliding with other satellites in space.

Successfully destroy the satellite

The ISRO Telemetry Tracking and Command Network (ISTRAC) Center's System for Safe and Sustainable Space Operations (IS4OM) team successfully landed Cartosat-2 in the ocean on Earth. Electrical passivation was successfully carried out on 14 February. It was then 130 km above the earth. It was then released into the Indian Ocean on 14 February 2024 at around 4 pm. While traversing the atmosphere, most parts of this defunct satellite burned up. India has prevented many space tragedies by successfully destroying Cartosat-2.
