CMS01

 CMS O1 

Covid 19 became a blockage for many ISRO Plans. They have to delay a lot of their projects and plans for this year.  CMS01 satellitite is the second mission achieved by ISRO this year. CMS01 is a communication satellite. In november PSLV C49 was sent in november. The cms01 is launched with the help of PSLV C50 /CMS01.

a lot to know and a lot to discuss as always. 

CMS01 is an extended c band communcation satellite.

It is sent to a geostationary orbit. 

Lets first talk about PSLV C50 

CMS01 is the 77th launch vehicle launched from sriharikota.PSLV stands for polar satellite launch vehicle. PSLV is 44 m high and has 4 stages with 6 strap on booster motors onto the first stage which gives it a higher thrust. 

Now lets have a glance on cms01!

You must have studied about electromagnetic waves. There are 7 types of waves in electromagnetic waves. Radio, micro, infrared, visible, ultravoilet xray, and gamma. The wavelength decreases in the given order above. But the frequency increases. Stuffs can be penetrated fastly. 

4G is less than 1 MHZ

5G works between 2 -3 Ghz frequency.

 C band starts after 4ghz.

cms01 is going to provide extended c band sevices. It will improve the coverage in other parts of the country. The weight of cms01 is 1410 kg. There are many types of satellite like Earth observation(mapping to find resources), communication, etc. Communication sateelites are placed in geostationary orbits. It is going to replace the GSAT12 satellite. GSAT satellite was launched on 15 july 11. gsat12 serverd for 9 years. Now it is going to be replaced by cms01. The expected life of cms02 is 7 years or more.

The next launch is going to be soon. 3 sattellites will be launched in the next mission. A startup named Pixxel india made a satellite called anand. The 2nd satellite is made by Space kidz india and the 3rd one is made by a university consortium called (unitysat).
