ISRO to launch prestigious GSLV-D5, Mission Readiness Review, ISRO project of GSLV-D5/ GSAT . GSLV-D5 is the 8th satellite being launched by ISRO in the Geosynchronous Satellite series.
According to the Mission Readiness Review (MRR) team of ISRO (Indian Space Organization), the prestigious project of GSLV-D5/ GSAT 14 launch will take place as scheduled earlier, on January 05, 2014 at 4.18 p.m.
The vehicle has been moved from the vehicle assembly building to the umbilical tower or the so called launch pad on December 28, 2013, added sources. The countdown will start before 29 hours of the actual launch. So, at around 11 a.m. on January 04, 2014, the count down will start.
GSLV-D5 is the 8th satellite being launched by ISRO in the Geosynchronous Satellite series. It is intended to launch GSAT-14, a communication satellite into the GTO (Geosynchronous Transfer Orbit). According to ISRO sources, after reaching GTO, GSAT-14 will use its own propulsion system to reach its geostationary orbital home and will be stationed at 74º East longitude. GSAT-14 will help provide many satellite based communication services to the country including tele-education and telemedicine.
Apart from this, ISRO has entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Institute of Aerospace Medicine (IAM), Indian Air Force, Bangalore in March 2009 to carry out the following:
· Basic research/studies on Human Physiological and Psychological requirements for Human Space Flight crew an
· For augmenting/updating existing facilities at IAM to cater to ISRO's Human Space Flight Program as a pre project Research & Development activity.
ISRO currently does not have any project on "Man to Moon". In view of this, there is no scope of recruitment of crew for ISRO based on this MoU.
