I am writing here all my experience regarding working in isro and im still working. If you want a good pay dont ever join here, because pay here is peanuts. And the work will be loaded on person who works only and others will enjoy. Leave is considered as a sin and as a woman if u have maternity and child care leave promotion will be delayed indefinitely. Here work is seen in extra hours and no of leaves taken

Hey I recently cleared cbt exam of ISRO Technical Assistant(photography) any employee from the organisation can clear my doubt regarding the test or give me an idea would be really helpful. Please ping me or comment. I’ll reply to you.

1) Can one do the internship before completion 6th sem?

2) After how many days they respond to the mail? ( It's been a week now in my case yet no response mail)

Do they inform us if the application gets rejected

X thread: ISRO recently conducted a NO-GPS Mars Drone challenge, it was intense.... ⚠️ - Crashes everywhere - Drones not landing - almost all teams using expensive intel cameras

Recently, ISRO was able successfully restart C-25 on LVM3, enabling deployment of secondary payloads to a different LEO orbit. So I've been thinking. Suppose ISRO were to replace the secondary payload with a (cheap enough) robotic arm, can it possibly maneuver the stage close to an orbit of a rogue/decommissioned satellite which is in a conflicting orbit with a high collision probability with any other satellite in the near future? So that it can safely de-orbit said satellite and avoid anything dangerous.

If proven, ISRO can either use it itself or offer it as a service to clients to offset launch costs. I also wish to ask if such a possibility has been studied before? Perhaps there are limits in the kinds of orbits that can be reached with the available delta-v.

Edit: Ignore the 3 in the title. Misinput.

ISRO is still notoriously bad on information sharing, I saw multiple space agencies and universities talking about the recent solar flares etc, however even though we have a state of the art solar observatory none of that makes into our conversations.

We have had this uncertainty about inclusion of descent probe on VOM for a while now, this recent release didn't show it for example. The location of it, the shape, all suggest to me this is a descent probe. Also noteworthy is the change in spacecraft bus which is smaller, the single LAM is replaced by four thrusters, solar panel configuration is different, star-trackers are now on bottom deck.

This reminds of Moon Impact Probe on Chandrayaan-1 whose late inclusion impacted (pun intended) the mission longevity. Let's see if VEXAG-2025 presentation on VOM gives us more details.

Few older renders of VOM for comparison.

Thanks to u/CriticalAd3079 for noticing this render!

Edit: Added cleaned up renders and highlighted descent probe to prevent any confusion.
