Rohini is a series of satellites launched by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO). The Rohini series consisted of four satellites, each of which was launched by the Satellite Launch Vehicle (SLV) [1] and three of which made it successfully to orbit.
RS-1 was a 35 kg experimental spin stabilized satellite designed with a power handling capability of 16W. It was successfully launched onboard SLV-3 from SHAR Centre on July 18, 1980 into an orbit of 305 x 919 km with an inclination of 44.7°.
Rohini Satellite 1 or RS-1 is the first satellite successfully launched by India using indigenously developed rockets. After the launch on 18 July 1980 by a SLV rocket, India became the 7th country to have rocket launching capability.
RS-D2 was a 41.5 kg experimental spin stabilized satellite designed with a power handling capability of 16W .It was launched onboard SLV-3 from SHAR Centre on April 17, 1983. The Smart Sensor Camera was the primary payload onboard the satellite.
RS-D1 was a 38 kg experimental spin stabilized satellite designed with a power handling capability of 16W. It was launched onboard SLV-3 from SHAR Centre on May 31, 1981.
Launch Date : May 30, 1981 Weight : 35 kg Lauched by : India, SLV-3 (D-1) rocket Orbit : 300 km x 900 km elliptical orbit (97 minutes period) Objectives : Carried a Land Mark sensor payload whose solid state camera performed to specifications.
The first experimental flight of SLV3, in August 1979, was only partially successful. The next launch on July 18, 1980 from Sriharikota Range (SHAR), successfully placed Rohini satellite, RS-1, into the orbit, thereby making India the sixth member of an exclusive club of space-faring nations.
Rohini-1B was the first Indian national satellite launched on 18 July 1980. It was launched on an SLV-3 rocket from the Sriharikota Space Center in Bengal Bay into a 302 x 919 km orbit. The satellite was spherical with a 0.6 m diameter, and weighed 35 kg.
India successfully launched its own satellite, the Rohini satellite (RS-1), into orbit using its indigenously developed SLV-3 rocket on July 18, 1980. This marked India's entry into the group...
Rohini is a series of sounding rockets developed by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) for meteorological and atmospheric study. These sounding rockets are capable of carrying payloads of 2 to 200 kilograms (4.4 to 440.9 lb) between altitudes of 100 to 500 kilometres (62 to 311 mi).
