ISRO is preparing for its next major mission, PSLV-C56. The 56th launch of the Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV) will send seven payloads into orbit, with the DS-SAR satellite as the main target. The NSIL-contracted DS-SAR satellite will be deployed into a 535 km Near-Equatorial Orbit (NEO).
PSLV-C56 will launch on July 30, 2023, from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota, Andhra Pradesh, instead of July 26. The launch timing has been set at 6:30am.
ST Engineering and DSTA, representing the Singapore government, developed the 360-kg DS-SAR satellite. It serves Singapore government departments’ satellite imaging needs. ST Engineering hopes to use the satellite to provide commercial clients with multi-modal, highly responsive imaging and GIS services. The DS-SAR’s state-of-the-art Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) payload, developed by Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI), provides complete imaging in all weather situations, day and night. DS-SAR imaging at full polarimetry has a 1-meter resolution.
Six co-passenger spacecraft with different missions and capabilities accompany the DS-SAR. It includes a 23 kg VELOX-AM technology demonstration microsatellite, ARCADE, an experimental satellite, which stands for Dynamics Explorer and Atmospheric Coupling; SCOOB-II, a 3U nanosatellite with demonstrator payload technology; NuLIoN by NuSpace, an advanced 3U nanosatellite that enables seamless IoT connectivity in remote and urban locations; Galassia-2, a 3U nanosatellite in lower earth orbit; and ORB-12 STRIDER, a sate These co-passenger satellites help PSLV-C56 achieve its wide and profound goals.
After the Chandrayaan-3 Moon mission, the PSLV-C56 mission is crucial for India’s space exploration. ISRO’s DS-SAR and co-passengers demonstrate its commitment to space technology and international collaboration.
Conclusion:-
On July 30, 2023, ISRO will launch the 56th PSLV, PSLV-C56. The New Space India Limited (NSIL) mission will launch seven payloads, including the DS-SAR satellite. ST Engineering and DSTA, representing the Singapore government, designed the 360-kg DS-SAR satellite. It provides government agencies with satellite images and business clients with multi-modal and responsive imagery and geospatial services. Six co-passenger satellites have different goals and capabilities. ARCADE, SCOOB-II, NuLIoN, Galassia-2, and ORB-12 STRIDER. After the Chandrayaan-3 trip to the Moon, India’s PSLV-C56 mission is crucial. ISRO’s mission advances space technology and promotes international space collaboration.
