The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) will start the new year with the launch of several commercial satellites, including Brazil’s Amazonia and three Indian satellites. “In the end of February or early March 2021, we will be sending our rocket Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle-C51 (PSLV-C51). The primary payload will be the Brazilian satellite called Amazonia, an earth observation satellite,” ISRO Chairman K. Sivan told Indian news agency
IANS.
“The PSLV-C51 mission will be a very special mission not only for ISRO but also for India as the rocket will be carrying the Earth Observation satellite Anand made by an Indian startup called Pixxel (Incorporated as Syzygy Space Technologies Pvt Ltd),” Sivan said.
The sun is finally setting on 2020, easily the worst year of this century and one of the worst for a generation of people. This was a year that saw a raging virus, a mishandled pandemic, fatalities beyond imagination, and widespread economic mismanagement. However, the year gone by will also be remembered for human endurance, an undying spirit and the courage to find solutions. Even as the world suffered unforeseen losses, it clawed its way back, albeit slowly, as the ball kept rolling. The year will go down in the annals of history as one of such brief windows that saw intellectuals collaborating, scientists exchanging data and global conglomerates sharing critical researches to survive together.
