AzaadiSAT-2 satellite successfully launches!

AzaadiSAT-2 satellite successfully launches!ISRO (Indian Space Research Organisation) was able to complete the second developmental mission of SSLV with three satellites successfully launched from Sriharikota.
During the 15-minute flight of the new rocket, three satellites were placed into a circular orbit. The orbit was 450 kilometres in diameter.
The Small Satellite Launch Vehicle (SSLV) is assigned as SSLV-D2.
This is the first launch of a satellite that has taken place in 2023. The installation of solar panels and the beginning of power generation have both been verified.
ISRO (Indian Space Research Organisation) is responsible for the design, development, and production of the EOS-07 satellite.
Key facts!

The three satellites placed in the target orbit are:

ISRO's Earth Observation Spacecraft - EOS 07
Janus-1 satellite is developed by the American company Antaris
AzaadiSAT-2 satellite was created by the space startup company SpaceKidz.

EOS-07's primary mission purpose is to design and build payload instruments that are compatible with new microsatellite technologies.
These technologies are necessary for the development of future operational spacecraft.
Additionally, it will design and create a microsatellite that can accommodate new technology payloads.
This would be done in a short amount of time and with greater efficiency.
Around 750 girl students from different parts of India worked together to build AzaadiSAT-2.
AzaadiSAT-2 weighs more than 8 kilograms.
The satellite AzaadiSAT-2 was developed under the direction of Space Kidz India in Chennai.
According to ISRO, SSLV is capable of providing "launch-on-demand" services.
It is targeted for satellites weighing up to 500 kilogrammes.
SSLV demands a limited launch infrastructure and has a low turn-around time.
In addition, it gives low-cost access to space.
Furthermore, ISRO scientists claim that it enables flexibility in hosting several satellites, and offers low-turnaround time.
