The PSLV rocket by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) has placed all seven Singaporean satellites into the near-equatorial orbit (NEO) after its successful launch from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Andhra Pradesh's Sriharikota. About 23 minutes after the lift-off, the rocket separated from satellites and after covering a distance of 535 km, deployed them into their intended orbits, said ISRO.

5 facts about ISRO PSLV-C56 mission

The DS-SAR satellite was developed in partnership with the Government of Singapore's Defence Science and Technology Agency and ST Engineering. It will be launched into a near-equatorial orbit (NEO) at 5 degrees inclination at a 535 km altitude.

Once deployed and operational, the DS-SAR satellite will be used to support the satellite imagery requirements of various agencies within the government of Singapore, as per ISRO.


The PSLV-C56 also carries six co-passenger customer satellites - VELOX-AM, a 23 kg technology demonstration microsatellite; ARCADE Atmospheric Coupling and Dynamics Explorer (ARCADE), an experimental satellite; SCOOB-II , a 3U nanosatellite flying a technology demonstrator payload; NuLIoN by NuSpace, an advanced 3U nanosatellite enabling seamless IoT connectivity in both urban and remote locations; Galassia-2, a 3U nanosatellite that will be orbiting at low earth orbit; and ORB-12 STRIDER, satellite is developed under an International collaboration.

Congrats..

Just great..... How much did they get in profit? any Idea..
 
@letsrock , what is ISRO trying to do by launching these useless missions?
Really sad that ISRO doesn’t listen to sane advice and continues to tread on a path which is of no use.
PSLV has a rated lift off mass of 320 tons but a payload of just 1.4 tonnes to GTO - and this is the XL version developed in 2018. China's equivalent workshorse LM-3b has lift of mass of 450tonnes but a payload of whopping 5.5 tonnes to GTO.

In the current lauch PSLV delivered only 800 kg that too to LEO (with lower lift off mass). Whichever you see - this is a wasteful rocket burning indian peoples money for show off to world. Indian people are living like below :

It's quite rich for a Pakistani to pontificate at India. You have similar intellect as your fatso former science and technology minister.

Fully agree with you. PSLV is a useless vehicle.

But Singapore wanted the satellites to be placed in NEO, which PSLV did. Should ISRO have launched them towards moon? Or placed them in GTO?
Actually, they should have, as a gesture of goodwill. After all there is a term called discount in the market. Ek pe ek free type. You ask for NEO and ISRO gives you GTO. What say?

I am also angry with Singapore. Why didn’t they go to Chinese or SUPARCO? Or NASA.

Really sad to see nations getting fooled by ISRO and getting their satellites launched into NEO while they could have sent them to Moon or Mars on Chinese rockets.

Crazy world I tell you.
