Last Updated on by
ISRO’s GSLV Mk III-D2 mission is accomplished! GSLV stands for Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle, ‘Mk’ stands for mark, III represents that it is a three stage vehicle, ‘D2’ represents second development flight.
GSLV Mk III-D2 launched the sattelite, GSAT-29. ‘GSAT’ stands for Geo synchronous Satellites.
The mass of the sattelite is about 3423 kg, which is the heaviest satellite launched by ISRO.
It was successfully launched on 5:08 PM (Indian Standard Time) on November 14, 2018.
GSAT-29 carries Ka/Ku-band high throughput communication transponders which will bridge the digital divide of users including those in Jammu & Kashmir and North Eastern regions of India. It also carries Q/V-band payload, configured for technology demonstration at higher frequency bands and Geo-stationary High Resolution Camera. carried onboard GSAT-29 spacecraft. An optical communication payload, for the first time, will be utilized for data transmission.
Some information of the mission is illustrated in the two infographics below:

INTRODUCTION
In this article, we shall discuss about our home, the solar system and its history which is quite violent.
1. SOLAR SYSTEM
The solar system is the gravity-bounded system comprising of the Sun and the objects that orbit it, either directly or indirectly, the largest eight are called ‘Planets’ and rest are smaller ones like ‘Asteroids’, ‘Comets’, ‘Dwarf Planets’ etc. and are as important as the bigger ones.
