Another success of isro 17 year old satellite fell safely to Earth Atmosphere

The Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) has achieved another success. The Cartosat-2 satellite launched 17 years ago was successfully dropped by ISRO in the Earth’s atmosphere from space. According to PTI report, satellite entered the Earth’s atmosphere above the Indian Ocean at 3.48 pm Indian time on 14 February. ISRO says that either the satellite must have been burnt or the remaining part would have fallen into the sea. If such satellite falls in population areas, you can do harm. ISRO Tell It is that we will not be able to find the falling part in the sea. According to ISRO, the Cartosat-2 satellite was launched on 10 January 2007. Then his weight was 680 kg. The satellite was working in Surya Polar Orbit at an altitude of 635 km from Earth.

According to ISRO, Cartosat-2, if he himself came down, was expected to take about 30 years to happen. However, ISRO decided that it would use Cartosat-2’s remaining fuel to reduce its circumference. Cartosat-2 was then dropped successfully in the Earth’s atmosphere.

By doing this, India has introduced Nazir for countries like America, China and Russia. Because the debris of satellites in space remains a big challenge for our existing missions. This garbage in the form of satellite keeps floating in the space. Most of the space agencies have left it on its condition.
