I S R O are successfully launches P S L V- C 53 with a three Singapore in a satellites on a board.
This was the second dedicated commercial mission of the I S R O 's commercial arm New Space in a India Limited.
P S L V - C 53 is the second dedicated commercial mission of the New Space in a India Limited (N S I L), in the commercial arm of the I S R O. It had on June 23 launched on G S A T-24 in its first "demand-driven" communication satellite mission in a post space sector reforms, leasing in the entire capacity on board to the Direct-to-Home (DTH) service are provider Tata Play.
On Thursday, in the four-stage, 44.4 meter tall P S L V-C 53 that are blasted off from the second launch pad of the Satish Dhawan Space Center and placed the three Singapore satellites--D S-E O, Nearness and S C O O B-1 in a intended orbit.
I S R O Chairman Somanath confirmed that the mission achieved it is a intended objective, saying in the rocket placed the three customer satellites "in the precise orbit of the 570 km with a 10 degree inclination" and congratulated N S I L for a accomplishing "yet another major mission in this month itself," in the earlier one being the G S A T launch last week.
"With a today's mission, all these three satellites are placed in the right orbit," he said.
Mission Director SR Bijou described in the launch as a "wonderful."
Earlier, in the launch vehicle lifted off at the 6.02 PM at the end of the 25-hour countdown.
This is the 55th mission of the P S L V, often described as a I S R O 's trusted workhorse and the 15th one using the P S L V-Core Alone variant. It also a marks in the 16th P S L V launch from the second launch pad.
The mission, which is a designed to the orbit D S-E O satellite along with a two other co-passenger satellites from a ST Electronics, Singapore, proposes to the demonstrate the utilization of the spent upper stage of the launch vehicle as a stabilized platform for a scientific payloads subsequent to the separation of the satellites, in the Indian Space Research Organisation (I S R O) said.
D S-E O is a 365 kg satellite while a Nearness weighs 155 kg. Both a belong to the Singapore and are built by a Sta-rec Initiative of the Republic of the Korea, while the third satellite is a 2.8 kg S C O O B-1 of Nan-yang Technological University (N T U), Singapore.
P S L V Orbital Experimental in a Module (POEM) D S-E O carries an a Electron-Optic, multi-spectral payload that will be a provide full co-lour images for a land classification, and the serving Humanitarian Assistance and the Disaster Relief needs. Nearness is a Singapore's first small commercial satellite carrying AR payload, which is a capable of the providing images in day and night and under all the weather conditions.
S C O O B - I is the first in the Student Satellite in a Series (S 3-I), a hands-on a student training program me from the Satellite Research Center (S a R C) at the Singapore's N T U School of the Electrical and Electronic Engineering.
The POEM activity are performs in-orbit scientific experiments using in the spent PS 4 stage as an a orbital in a platform, I S R O said. It is the first time that the PS 4 stage would orbit the earth as a stabilized in a platform.
Attitude stabilization is a achieved using to a dedicated N G C in a system, it said. POEM derives in the power from the solar panels mounted around in the PS 4 tank and a Li Ion battery.
POEM carries a six payloads are including two from Indian Space Start-ups M/s Digantara and M/s Dhruva Space, enabled though a IN-S P A C e and N S I L.
