List of ISRO’s Upcoming Missions 2023

Recently, Dr Jitendra Singh, India’s Minister for State, Science & Technology, informed the Lower House of Parliament that India would be performing five science missions by 2025.

“Aditya-L1, at a cost of Rs.3.7billion, launch by Q1 2023; Chandrayaan-3, at a cost of Rs.2.5billion, launch by Q1 2023, XPoSAT, at a cost of Rs 0.60 billion, launch by Q2 2023, Space Docking Experiment, at a cost of Rs.1.24billion, launch by Q3 2024 and Gaganyaan at a cost of Rs.90.23 billion, whereas the first milestone of Gaganyaan Abort Demonstration will be carried out by Q4 2022” as shared in the Lok Sabha.

Indian Space Research Organization, ISRO has carried out 124 spacecraft missions. 93 missions have also been launched and various missions have been planned. Take a look at various missions planned from 2021 onwards below. 

ISRO is planning to take on 15 student satellites and is working with 431 foreign satellites as well.

ISRO: List of Upcoming Missions

Take a look at all the missions that would be taken up by ISRO in the coming years. 

RISAT-1A: This is a radar imaging satellite. It matches the RISAT-1 configuration. It is a land-based mission. The primary application of this satellite is in terrain mapping and analysis of land, ocean and water surface. 

Gaganyaan-1: Gganyan is an Indian crewed orbital spacecraft. It is intended to be the basis of the Indian Human Spaceflight Programme. This spacecraft is being built for three people only. An upgraded version would be equipped with rendezvous and docking capability. It will be most probably launched in 2024.  

Chandrayaan-3: It is a lunar rover that was launched on July 14 from Sriharikota. It would be launched to attempt a soft landing of the lunar surface. The follow-on of Chandrayaan-2, Chandrayaan-3 will make landfall on South Pole of the lunar surface on August 23, 2023.

Aditya-L1: It is one of the first Indian observatory class missions. It will be the first Indian solar mission. It would study the solar corona using a solar coronagraph. X-Ray spectroscopic instrument would be providing flare spectra while in situ payloads would observe solar events. It is expected to be launched by the end of August or September 2023. The craft has already reached the seaport of Sriharikota. After Chandrayaan-3 lands on the Moon, ISRO will most likely focus on the solar mission. 

PSLV-C57/Aditya-L1 Mission:

Aditya-L1, the first space-based Indian observatory to study the Sun ☀️, is getting ready for the launch.

The satellite realised at the U R Rao Satellite Centre (URSC), Bengaluru has arrived at SDSC-SHAR, Sriharikota.

Gaganyaan-2: It would be an uncrewed spacecraft flight test. It would be the second of the two flight tests prior to the inaugural crewed mission. 

NISAR: NASA-ISRO Synthetic Aperture Radar (NISAR) is a joint project between NASA and ISRO. It would be co-developed and launched with a dual frequency synthetic aperture radar satellite that would be used for remote sensing.
