Upcoming Blockbuster missions of ISRO in 2021.

In 2020 due to covid pandemic ISRO's approx all missions forwarded to next year so this year would be busy for ISRO as many missions are panding and many are planned so I make a list of ISRO's upcoming possible missions in 2021.

1: Launching of SSLV: SSLV (small satellite launch vehicle) is ISRO's new rocket for launching small satellites in orbit. This rocket is with less payload of 500kg and can be launch frequently with very low cost. It would be launch in last week of January 2021.

2: Lex test of RLV-TD: RLV is India's first reusable launch vehicle recently it's hex test has conducted in which it's hypersonic re-entry in earth's atmosphere from orbit was tested.

Now it's runway landing test will be tested it would be an air drop test in which RLV-TD will be drop by helicopter to perform autonoumus runway landing. This mission would be in February month of 2021.

3:Chandrayan 3: Chandrayaan 3 is planned a lunar exploration mission after failur of Chandrayaan 2 due to some snag in communication because Chandrayaan 2's  lander could not get  soft landing.
So basically this mission will be same as Chandrayaan 2 but this mission only have lander and rover,orbitor of Chandrayaan w will be used. This mission would be in 2nd half of 2021.

4: launch of EOS of pixxel:
Pixxel is an India's startup who made India's first private earth observation satellite Anand. This satellite will launch by ISRO's pslv C51 in February.

5: Gaganyan: it is India's first man mission but it's is forwarded to 2022 but in this year we would see it's 1st un crewed mission for Gaganyan and pad abort test.

6: X-POSAT : launch of X- ray polarisation satellite. It will be quite unique and highly hard-core mission for all over the world because it would give x-ray polarisation of 50 bright sources.

It will be launched by PSLV C51. Launch date is still not confirmed may be in 2nd half of 2021.
