The outer space has always been a mesmerising concept to the human race and they have invented various methods and technologies to fulfil their dream of exploring the depths of the universe. The most interesting development was made when the humans travelled to space and built satellites to explore the other planets and celestial bodies.
The knowledge gained from these incredibly large masses in the universe can explain many natural causes and also can help us find, what we need to survive. In recent times the scientists have been in search for a different planet that can support human life and ISRO is one such organisation which has made many attempts of studying the planet Mars. The space organisation has now turned their interest to Venus and Jupiter for analysing and studying its characteristics.
According to The Tribune, ISRO is looking at Venus and Jupiter to explore its characteristics and nature to make more inventions and discoveries that the earth can benefit from. At the planetary session on science technology held at the Indian Science Congress in Tirupati, M Nageswara Rao, Associate Director of ISRO (Indian Space Research Organisation) explained that the mission analysis for the above mentioned exploration is based on what type of satellite needs to be built and which type of rocket they need for the same.
Bangalore Mirror explains that the ideal time to launch a satellite for Venus comes every 19 months and it takes 97 days to travel 38 million Km and reach the planet, whereas the ideal time to launch a satellite to Jupiter comes every 33 months and takes 26 months to travel 610 million miles and reach the largest planet in the solar system. After the success of the Mars Orbiter Mission (MoM), ISRO is expanding its boundaries and will create a memorable moment in history.
ISRO further states that they will be following up with their Mars satellite by going as close as 70,000 km to the planet, while they are also working on creating the Chandraayan 2. The budget for the Jupiter mission needs to be very high and the organisation is developing plans to reach the budget to ensure the efficiency.
