ISRO's Cartosat-2 Satellite Completes Safe Disposal, Re-Enters Earth's Atmosphere
ISRO has successfully brought down its Cartosat-2 satellite, launched 17 years ago, to Earth's atmosphere.
The satellite re-entered the atmosphere over the Indian Ocean, either burning up or its remnants falling into the sea.
Originally expected to take 30 years to de-orbit naturally, ISRO used leftover fuel to lower its perigee for safe disposal, following international guidelines on space debris.
This exercise also provided an opportunity to assess indigenous tracking capabilities, with the satellite reaching about 130 km altitude before demise.
This successful de-orbiting represents a significant step for ISRO in ensuring long-term sustainability of outer space activities.
