Glad that the ISRO launch of MOM has been successful. I have some info on the s/c gleaned from the Internet.
MOM is based on a modifieed I-1000 satellite bus, first used in the METSAT-1 weather satellite of 2002, which was later renamed Kalpana-1 to honor the late Indian-Amercian astronaut Kalpana Chawla, who died abord space shuttle Columbia. Rob |
