CHENNAI: The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) late on Friday night launched a Sounding Rocket (RH-560) to study attitudinal variations in the neutral winds and plasma dynamics from the SDSC SHAR, Sriharikota.
In a tweet, ISRO said ”Launch of sounding rocket (RH-560) to study attitudinal variations in the neutral winds and plasma dynamics carried out today at SDSC SHAR, Sriharikota”.
The sounding rockets are one or two-stage solid propellant rockets which are used for scrutiny the upper atmospheric regions and for space research.
They also serve as easily affordable platforms to test or prove prototypes of new components or subsystems intended for use in launch vehicles and satellites.
ISRO started launching indigenously made sounding rockets from 1965 and experience gained was of immense value in the mastering of solid propellant technology”, ISRO said. (AGENCIES)
