BENGALURU: Indian Space Research Organisation today said it would launch SCATSAT-1 for ocean and weather related studies and seven co-passenger satellites into polar Sun Synchronous Orbit (SSO) on September 26.

The Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle, in its 37th flight, (PSLV-C35) will launch the satellites at 9:12 hours on September 26, 2016 from Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota, ISRO said.

The 377 kg SCATSAT-1 satellite will have satellites from Algeria, Canada and USA, as well as two satellites from Indian Universities as its co-passenger.


ISRO said SCATSAT-1 would be placed into a 720 km Polar SSO, whereas the two Universities satellites and the five foreign satellites will be placed into a 670 km polar orbit.

This is the first mission of PSLV in which it will be launching its payloads into two different orbits.

ISRO said PSLV-C35 will be launched from the First Launch Pad (FLP) of Satish Dhawan Space Centre and it will be the 15th flight of PSLV in 'XL' configuration (with the use of solid strap-on motors).

Scat?

Scatterometer Satellite -1 (ScatSat-1).
The satellite will also be used by NASA and ESA as well.

Further this satellite has been made from used material a lot reducing it's cost to 60%.
It's a replacement (more advanced) against OceanSat.

About the Mission:
India has been launching multiple satellites in a single launch for many years, but this is first time that they will be placed in multiple orbits as well.

PSLV C 35 Lifted off successfully from Shriharikota.

SCATSAT-1
SCATSAT-1 is a continuity mission for Oceansat-2 Scatterometer to provide wind vector data products for weather forecasting, cyclone detection and tracking services to the users. The satellite carries Ku-band scatterometer similar to the one flown onboard Oceansat-2. The spacecraft is built around standard IMS-2 Bus and the mass of the spacecraft is 371 kg. The spacecraft will be put in SSP orbit of 730 km altitude with an inclination of 98.1 deg by PSLV-C35. The mission life of the satellite is 5 years.

The SCATSAT-1 is scheduled to be launched by PSLV-C35 on Monday morning at 9:12 hrs (IST) on September 26, 2016 from the First Launch Pad of SDSC SHAR , Sriharikota.

Another feather in the cap

I know a bit early in the day but

Lovely ji

Success... What abt the remaining 7 satellites ?? they were release successfully?

 

[Fireurimagination]

All satellites placed in required orbits, congratulations all!

 

[Abingdonboy]

These successes are now becoming routine, such little interest here speaks for itself.


Congrats once again to ISRO, job well done as always.

I agree, this has become a norm. Next round of applause would be for LEX and REX.
