ISRO schedules December launch for PSLV with Cartosat-2 series satellite on board, along with 15 to 20 nanosatellites

The Indian Space Research Organisation plans to launch a satellite on board Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV) in December, the first since its unsuccessful mission to orbit a navigation spacecraft nearly one-and-a-half months ago. The ISRO is getting ready for the Cartosat-2 series satellite mission in mid-December from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre or Sriharikota High Altitude Range (SHAR), an official of the space agency told PTI. [caption id=“attachment_4133173” align=“alignleft” width=“380”] ![The Cartosat 2c. Image: ISRO](https://images.firstpost.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/isro-cartosdat.jpg) The Cartosat 2c. Image: ISRO[/caption] This would be the third satellite in the Cartosat-2 series. In February this year, **PSLV-C37 launched** the first Cartosat-2 series satellite along with **103 co-passenger satellites in a single flight** . In June, India’s workhorse launch vehicle launched the second one along with 30 co-passenger satellites – the 39th consecutively successful mission of PSLV. But a PSLV-C39 flight carrying IRNSS-1H navigation satellite on **31 August was unsuccessful** , in what is seen as a setback to ISRO. “We plan to launch Cartosat-2 series satellite 3 mission, which is a follow-on mission in the Cartosat-2 series with the primary objective of providing high-resolution scene specific spot imagery, in mid-December,” the official said. “There will be a few foreign co-passenger satellites…about 15 to 20 (nanosatellites),” he said. The total number of customer satellites from abroad placed in orbit by PSLV so far is 209, according to ISRO.
