 "The sun to moon: India's space sector is gearing up for an eventful 2023")
Megha-Tropiques-1 (MT1) mission will be terminated by the Indian Space Research Organisationon (Isro) on Tuesday. The satellite will be intentionally crashed into the Earth's atmosphere. The MT1 mission was launched into the Low Earth Orbit (LEO) in 2011 in collaboration with the French space agency, CNES. For more than a decade, the mission delivered critical data on tropical weather and climate change.
The MT1 was originally meant to function as a three-year mission, but it was given an extension due to its continued provision of valuable data, supporting regional and global climate models until 2021.
Isro initiated the process in August 2022
