Capacity Building 74 'Space' In Parliament 111 Vigilance 112 Progressive use of Hindi 115 Right to Information 119 Audit Observations 121 Milestones 126 Acronyms 135 4 Highlights Department of Space has continued to provide its technological services to the country with the development and implementation of launch vehicles, satellites and applications, as envisaged. 2017 proved to be a busy year with many achievements that helped the country to not only showcase its capability in space technology, but also enabled it to reach newer heights with unique achievements. During the period of reporting, country witnessed many significant achievements of the Indian Space Programme. Four launch vehicle missions were successfully accomplished during the year that included GSLV-MkIII D1 the maiden developmental flight of India’s most powerful launch vehicle GSLV-MkIII, successful launch of GSLV-F09 and two PSLV launches from Satish Dhawan Space Centre SHAR, Sriharikota. Also, ISRO could place seven Indian satellites and 57 foreign satellites into the orbit. The seven Indian satellites included two earth observation satellites, three communication satellites and two experimental small satellites. The successful launch of GSLV-MkIII D1 was one of the important highlights during the year, which could place a 3,136 kg high throughput communication satellite GSAT-19 into a Geosynchronous Transfer Orbit (GTO). Yet another important achievement, as part of this success, was the maiden flight of indigenously developed “C25 high thrust cryogenic engine and stage”. GSAT-19 is the heaviest satellite to be launched from the Indian soil so far. During the year, ISRO was also successful in launching GSLV-F09, that could successfully place the South Asia Satellite (GSAT-9) into GTO, which is a gift from India to SAARC nations. Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV) had two successful launches during the year, (i) unique distinction of launching a record number of 104 satellites in a single mission during February 2017 and (ii) launch of 31 satellites during June 2017. The launch of GSAT-17, a communication satellite was accomplished from French Guiana during June 2017. However, the 41st flight of PSLV carrying India’s eighth navigation satellite IRNSS-1H could not place the satellite in the designated orbit and hence was not successful. In 2017, India’s Mars Orbiter Mission (MOM) spacecraft completed three years in its orbit around Mars, while AstroSat, India's multi-wavelength observatory, successfully completed two years in orbit. Both these satellites are in good condition and performing satisfactorily. Important events of the Indian space programme during 2017 are highlighted in a chronological order as follows: • On February 15, 2017, PSLV-C37 successfully launched a total of 104 satellites into a 505 km polar Sun Synchronous Orbit (SSO). Besides Cartosat-2 series satellite and two ISRO Nanosatellites, 96 satellites from the US, one each from The Netherlands, Switzerland, Israel, Kazakhstan and UAE constituted the 104 satellites launched. • GSLV-F09 successfully launched South Asia Satellite into GTO on May 05, 2017. This was the eleventh flight of GSLV. 5 • On June 05, 2017, the first developmental flight of GSLV-MkIII vehicle was successfully accomplished when GSAT-19, the satellite carried onboard, was successfully placed in GTO. • PSLV-C38 successfully launched 31 satellites in a single mission during June 2017. This included India's Cartosat-2 Series Satellite as primary payload and one university/academic institution satellite as well as 29 satellites from 14 countries with a total weight of 955 kg as co-passengers. • During June 2017, the communication satellite GSAT-17 was successfully launched into the designated GTO by Ariane 5 vehicle. • The launch of PSLV-C39, carrying IRNSS-1H satellite (1,425 kg) during August 2017, was unsuccessful. Year 2018 started with successful launch of PSLV-C40 placing 31 satellites into intended orbits on January 12. By January 2018, ISRO is successful in establishing a constellation of exclusive Meteorological, Earth Observation, Communication & Navigation Satellites, in addition to a multi-wavelength astronomical observatory and a spacecraft orbiting planet Mars. During the reporting period (April 2017 - January 2018), ISRO could accomplish 11 missions. Space Transportation System There were three PSLV launches during the year 2017. The first of them launched 104 satellites and the other launched 31 satellites. But the third PSLV launch was unsuccessful. GSLV-MkII, equipped with the indigenous Cryogenic Upper Stage (CUS), successfully launched South Asia Satellite on May 05, 2017. This mission (GSLV-F09) further demonstrated the reliability of CE7.5 cryogenic engine and stage developed by ISRO. This was the fourth consecutive successful flight of GSLV-MkII. GSLV-MkIll D1 Mission could successfully launch GSAT-19 into GTO. This was the first full-fledged GSLV-MkIII mission with its C25 cryogenic engine and stage that proved to be successful in demonstrating the capability of putting 3.2 ton class of satellite into GTO. PSLV-C40, in its forty second flight on January 12, 2018, proved its versatility by placing multiple satellites in to single orbit and a satellite into different orbit. Besides, the developmental efforts on semi-cryogenic engine and realisation of critical technologies for human spaceflight were also pursued during the reporting period. 6 Space Infrastructure Successful launch of three communication satellites and two earth observation satellites were the highlights pertaining to the Indian satellite programme in 2017. Besides, two ISRO nanosatellites were also launched during the year. In 2017, two 715 kg Cartosat-2 series satellites with Panchromatic and Multispectral cameras for earth observation were launched by PSLV into a polar sun synchronous orbit. Two Nanosatellites were also launched as co-passengers during this time. In the communication satellite domain, three communication satellites, viz., South Asia Satellite, GSAT-19 and GSAT-17 were launched within a short span of less than two months. The 2,230 kg South Asia Satellite (GSAT-9) was launched by GSLV-F09 on May 05, followed by the GSAT-19, a month later. Three weeks after this launch, GSAT-17 equipped with C, extended C and S-band transponders as well as transponders for meteorological data relay and satellite aided search and rescue, was also launched into GTO through procured launch arrangement. These three communication satellites

    Report No. 6 of 2020 CHAPTER V : DEPARTMENT OF SPACE 5.1 Grant of additional increments Department of Space did not take action for more than five years on the advice of Ministry of Finance to consider immediate withdrawal of payment of two additional increments being granted to its Scientists/Engineers. This resulted in payment of ``` 251.32 crore towards continued grant of the two additional increments during the period December 2013 to March 2019 in 15 test checked centres and Autonomous Bodies under the Department. Government of India (October 1998) approved granting of two additional increments to Scientists and Engineers of Department of Space (DOS) with effect from 1 January 1996 on promotion to four pre-revised pay scales 1. DOS issued (August 1999) a clarification that value of additional increments so granted was not to be counted as pay for the purpose of various allowances 2, promotion, pension, etc. In opposition to the said clarification, some employees of DOS took to litigation (2001) and eventually obtained orders of the Hon’ble High Courts of Kerala (January 2007) and Uttarakhand (August 2012) for considering these additional increments as pay for all further payments including pension. DOS also appealed against the said court orders, however, Special Leave Petitions filed by DOS in the Hon’ble Supreme Court of India were dismissed (April/August 2011 and October 2013). Subsequently, DOS referred (November 2013) the matter to Ministry of Finance (MoF) for further advice regarding complying with the court orders and grant of the benefits to similarly placed employees of DOS. Meanwhile, based on the recommendations of the Sixth Central Pay Commission (August 2008), a new performance based pecuniary benefit called Performance Related Incentive Scheme (PRIS) was introduced (September 2008) for the employees of DOS.
