The PSLV-C55 mission successfully carried PSLV Orbital Experiment Module (viz., POEM-2) recently. This module was exclusively made by ISRO with an aim to provide a platform wherein NGE and research institutes working in space technology can carry out in-orbit testing of their experiments.
Notably, this is the second mission of PSLV carrying POEM while the first POEM was carried in the PSLV-C53 mission.
Director technical directorate of IN-SPACe Rajeev Jyoti informed that each of these experiments is unique and the valuable on-orbit data received offer scope for further development and new opportunities. He also added that IN-SPACe has encouraged NGEs in identifying potential experiments on POEM and enabling them to demonstrate their system in the next available opportunity.
