The NISAR launch cannot occur between early October 2024 and early February 2025, because that launch window would put the satellite into periods of alternating sunlight and shadows due to the position of the Sun. The resulting temperature fluctuations could affect the deployment of NISAR's boom and radar antenna reflector.

EOS-08 Mission Overview
August 6, 2024

EOS-08 is ISRO's latest Earth Observation Satellite, slated for launch by the Small Satellite Launch Vehicle (SSLV)-D3. The primary objectives of the EOS-08 mission include designing and developing a microsatellite, creating payload instruments compatible with the microsatellite bus, and incorporating new technologies required for future operational satellites.
Built on the Microsat/IMS-1 bus, EOS-08 carries three payloads: Electro Optical Infrared Payload (EOIR), Global Navigation Satellite System-Reflectometry payload (GNSS-R), and SiC UV Dosimeter. The EOIR payload is designed to capture images in the Mid-Wave IR (MIR) and Long-Wave IR (LWIR) bands, both during the day and night, for applications such as satellite-based surveillance, disaster monitoring, environmental monitoring, fire detection, volcanic activity observation, and industrial and power plant disaster monitoring. The GNSS-R payload demonstrates the capability of using GNSS-R-based remote sensing for applications such as ocean surface wind analysis, soil moisture assessment, cryosphere studies over the Himalayan region, flood detection, and inland waterbody detection. Meanwhile, the SiC UV Dosimeter monitors UV irradiance at the viewport of the Crew Module in the Gaganyaan Mission and serves as a high-dose alarm sensor for gamma radiation.
The spacecraft mission configuration is set to operate in a Circular Low Earth Orbit (LEO) at an altitude of 475 km with an inclination of 37.4°, and has a mission life of 1 year. The satellite has a mass of approximately 175.5 kg and generates power of around 420 W. It interfaces with the SSLV-D3/IBL-358 launch vehicle.
EOS-08 marks a significant advancement in satellite mainframe systems such as an Integrated Avionics system, known as the Communication, Baseband, Storage, and Positioning (CBSP) Package, which combines multiple functions into a single, efficient unit. This system is designed with cold redundant systems using commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) components and evaluation boards, supporting up to 400 Gb of data storage. Additionally, the satellite includes a structural panel embedded with PCB, an embedded battery, a Micro-DGA (Dual Gimbal Antenna), an M-PAA (Phased Array Antenna), and a flexible solar panel, each serving as key components for onboard technology demonstration.
The satellite employs a miniaturized design in its Antenna Pointing Mechanisms, capable of achieving a rotational speed of 6 degrees per second and maintaining a pointing accuracy of ±1 degree. The miniaturized phased array antenna further enhances communication capabilities, while the flexible solar panel incorporates a foldable solar panel substrate, GFRP tube, and CFRP honeycomb rigid end panel, offering improved power generation and structural integrity. A pyrolytic graphite sheet diffuser plate, known for its high thermal conductivity of 350 W/mK, reduces mass and finds application in various satellite functions. Furthermore, the EOS-08 mission adopts a new method of integrating housekeeping panels using a hinge-based fixture, significantly reducing the duration of the Assembly, Integration, and Testing (AIT) phase.
Incorporating additional novel schemes, the EOS-08 mission improves satellite technology through X-band data transmission, utilizing pulse shaping and Frequency Compensated Modulation (FCM) for X-Band data transmitters. The satellite's battery management system employs SSTCR-based charging and bus regulation, sequentially including or excluding strings at a frequency of 6 Hz. The TM-TC system supports dual modes, including CDMA and Direct PSK, with miniaturized microstrip filters tailored for data and TM-TC applications. The mission's indigenization effort is evident in its solar cell fabrication processes and the use of a Nano-Star Sensor for Microsat Applications. Additionally, the inertial system benefits from reaction wheel isolators that attenuate vibrations and a single antenna interface is utilized for TTC and SPS applications. Thermal management is enhanced using materials such as AFE BGA, Kintex FPGA, Germanium Black Kapton, and STAMET (Si-Al Alloy) Black Kapton to handle the thermal properties of COTS components. The mission also incorporates an auto-launch pad initialization feature, further demonstrating its commitment to innovative mission management.

India to launch Gaganyaan crew capsule test flight by end of 2024
By Andrew Jones
published August 27, 2024
India aims to fly Gaganyaan uncrewed this December, in a crucial trial ahead of astronaut missions.

India plans to launch a key test of its Gaganyaan crew vehicle before the end of the year as the country gears up for human spaceflight missions.
Some rocket hardware for the uncrewed Gaganyaan test flight has arrived at the Satish Dhawan Space Centre, on the huge barrier island Sriharikota, Chairman of the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) S Somanath revealed on Aug. 16. 
"Today, we are working on the first mission of the Gaganyaan, called G1. The first unmanned mission. The status today is the rocket, the S200 stage, the L1, [and] C32 stage are all at Satish Dhawan Space Centre," Somanath said, as reported by the Economic Times.
That rocket is the Launch Vehicle Mark-3, or LVM3 for short. Meanwhile, the crew module and service module for the uncrewed flight are undergoing integration at Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre and U R Rao Satellite Centre, respectively. 
"All systems will reach Sriharikota in one and a half months, and the launch will be in December," Somanath said, according to the Times of India.
India Prime Minister Narendra Modi formally announced the Gaganyaan (Sanskrit for "celestial vehicle") human spaceflight program in 2018. It seeks to make India only the fourth country to attain independent human spaceflight capabilities, following Russia (the former Soviet Union), the United States and China. 
The upcoming demonstration flight, G1, will test all systems for a full crewed flight, including the rocket modified for human spaceflight, the crew and service modules, reentry, parachute deployment and a splashdown in the Bay of Bengal.
Though it will be uncrewed, G1 will carry the "Vyomitra" (Sanskrit for "space friend") humanoid robot to help verify systems. Two further uncrewed test missions, G2 and G3, are expected to follow in 2025. 
If those trials are successful, the first crewed flight, called H1, will carry astronauts into low Earth orbit for the first time. ISRO shortlisted four "astronaut-designates" for the mission in February this year. The exact timing of the H1 mission has yet to be revealed.

BANGKOK (NNT) - Thailand is advancing its space ambitions through the Satellite Assembly Integration and Testing Center (AIT) located at the Space Inspirium in Sriracha district, Chonburi province. Managed by the Geo-Informatics and Space Technology Development Agency (GISTDA), the AIT center is equipped with state-of-the-art facilities, including a clean room and test bench for satellite research and development. Among the users of its services are Mu Space Corp, a Thai spacecraft and satellite producer, and the Royal Thai Air Force (RTAF).

The AIT center has already conducted crucial tests on the RTAF's Thai Universe-1 satellite, assessing its ability to withstand harsh space conditions through vibration and temperature testing. This is part of the center's offerings, which include mass property tests to determine a satellite's center of gravity.

The center plans to introduce tests for electromagnetic interference, enhancing its testing capabilities. The quality of the AIT's testing equipment has been validated by Surrey Satellite Technology Limited (SSTL) in the United Kingdom, confirming that it meets both UK and international ISO 9100 standards.

The AIT center recently facilitated testing for Thailand's THEOS-2A satellite, which is expected to launch from Satish Dhawan Space Center in India by the end of the year. Developed by a team of GISTDA engineers and SSTL experts over two years, THEOS-2A is designed to orbit 520 kilometers above Earth. It will serve national needs, including agricultural management, natural disaster response, and resource mapping.
