All faces (except the top and bottom) were covered with solar cells. It was built to conduct experiments in X-ray astronomy, aeronomics, and solar physics. ]]> 2021-06-16 09:48:18 UTC https://padlet.com/Haziq_192007/aryabhata_mission/wish/1609637485 Haziq_192007 https://padlet.com/Haziq_192007/aryabhata_mission/wish/1609640432 It was built by the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO).The launch came from an agreement between India and the Soviet Union directed by UR Rao and signed in 1972. It allowed the USSR to use Indian ports for tracking ships and launching vessels in return for launching various different Indian satellites.]]> 2021-06-16 09:50:52 UTC https://padlet.com/Haziq_192007/aryabhata_mission/wish/1609640432 Haziq_192007 https://padlet.com/Haziq_192007/aryabhata_mission/wish/1609645167 At that time we didn't have the technology to view the launch from ground. So this is the graphical video of its launch.]]> 2021-06-16 09:55:17 UTC https://padlet.com/Haziq_192007/aryabhata_mission/wish/1609645167 Haziq_192007 https://padlet.com/Haziq_192007/aryabhata_mission/wish/1609647974 A power failure halted experiments after four days and 60 orbits with all signals from the spacecraft lost after five days of the operation. Spacecraft mainframe remained active till March 1981. Due to orbital decay the satellite entered Earth's atmosphere on 11 February 1992 and was destroyed.
