2541. ISRO's PSLV-C28 successfully launches 5 British satellites
- On 11 July, 2015, ISRO successfully launched five British commercial satellites on board PSLV-C28 from Sriharikota spaceport in the heaviest commercial mission ever undertaken by it.
- Indian Space Research Organisation workhorse Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle PSLV-C28 placed the five satellites in sun synchronous orbit about 20 minutes after lift-off at 9.58 pm from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre here.
- The three DMC3 satellites, each weighing 447 kg, was launched into a Sun-Synchronous Orbit (SSO) using the high-end version of PSLV-XL.

2542. PSLV-C30 successfully launches ASTROSAT into the orbit
- On 28 September, 2015, India successfully launched its first space research observatory ASTROSAT that will help in a detailed understanding of the universe and also put into orbit six foreign satellites including the first from the US.
- ISRO's trusted workhorse Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV), in its 31st flight, injected ASTROSAT and the six co-passengers into orbit about 25 minutes after a perfect lift-off from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre here.
- With a lift-off mass of about 1,513 kg, ASTROSAT was first injected into a 650 km orbit by PSLV-C30, followed by the other six satellites in the space of about three minutes.

2543. India launches six Singapore satellites onboard PSLV-C29
- On 16 December, 2015, India successfully put six Singapore satellites into orbit after a perfect launch of its polar rocket in its landmark 50th space mission from here that also gave a boost to its space business.
- The Singaporean satellites that would help the city-state gather information on disaster monitoring and urban planning were launched by ISRO's workhorse Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle(PSLV-C29) coinciding with the 50th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between Singapore and India this year
- In a textbook launch, PSLV C-29 blasted off from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre (SDSC) here, about 110 km from Chennai, at 6 pm and released the six satellites one by one into a 550 km circular orbit, completing the exercise about 21 minutes later.

2544. All you need to know about ISRO's record launch PSLV-C34
- On 22 June, 2016, The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) created history by launching 20 satellites, including 17 foreign payloads, using its flagship rocket Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV) C34 from the second launch pad of Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikotta.
- India's earth observation spacecraft Cartosat-2 Series satellite is similar to the earlier Cartosat-2, 2A and 2B.
- . According to ISRO, the total weight of all the 20 satellites is about 1,288 kg.

2545. PSLV-C35’s Historic Feat: ISRO Launches Satellites into Two Orbits for the First Time
- On 26 September, 2016, Indian Space Research Organisation successfully placed advanced weather satellite SCATSAT-1 and seven other satellites in orbits in its longest ever launch mission, which spanned over two hours and 15 minutes.
- It is for the first time that satellites were placed in two different orbits with a single rocket. Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre director K Sivan said, “The rocket has placed all the satellites in precise orbits.”
- The Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV-C35) carrying the eight satellites took off from Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota at 9.12am.
- After the first satellite injection, PSLV-C35 coasted for an hour before its fourth-stage engine was reignited and shut down, for about 20 seconds. This provided the rocket the necessary thrust to coast into the polar orbit at an altitude of 689km.

2546. ISRO satellite launch: Proud moment for India, 104 satellites placed in orbit
- On 15 February, 2017, Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) set a new precedent when it comes to launching satellites. It has successfully launched the PSLV-37 rocket which put in to orbit a record 104 satellites from seven countries.
- Using the time-tested and popular Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV), ISRO surpassed its personal best of sending up 20 satellites in one go. The bar, however, was previously set by Russia in 2014 when it launched 37 satellites in a single mission.

2547. PSLV-C38 succesfully sends 31 satellites into space; check out pics
- On 23 June, 2017, ISRO's PSLV-38 today lifts off from the Satish Dhawan Space Center in Sriharikota carrying earth observation satellite Cartosat-2 series along with 30 co-passenger satellites of various countries weighing 955 kg
- The co-passenger satellites includes a nano satellite designed by the Noorul Islam University in Kanyakumari district of Tamil Nadu and the other 29 nano satellites are from 14 countries namely Austria, Belgium, Chile, Czech Republic, Finland, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Latvia, Lithuania, Slovakia, the United Kingdom and the United States of America.
- The latest remote sensing satellite has a resolution of 0.6 metres, which means it can spot even smaller objects

2549. What is ISRO’s PSLV-C42 mission?
- On 16 September, 2018, PSLV-C42 or Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle-C42 of the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) launched two satellites of the United Kingdom from Sriharikota
- The mission entailed launching satellites — NovaSAR and S1-4 — into ‘Sun Synchronous Orbit’. The satellites launched into this orbit are usually used for imaging, reconnaissance and weather forecasts.
- The PSLV-C42 rose into the skies at 10.08 p.m and injected the satellites into orbit 17 minutes and 45 seconds after lift-off, placing them in the sun-synchronous orbit 583 km from the earth’s surface
