This link says Resourcesat 2A is flying in August.

This is a Polish site which mentions the situation as it was in early 2016 when Resourcesat-2A and Scatsat were planned to be launched together

Thanks input~2. Do you have a reference indicating they are to be separate launches?

The Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV-C35) mission is scheduled between September and November. It will launch ResourceSat 2A satellite into a low-Earth orbit and ScatSat 1 satellite into higher geostationary orbit besides two satellites developed by students and four international satellites. In addition to this, the first test flight of GSLV Mk-III, the giant among India’s rockets, using active cryogenic stage is expected in December.

Mr Krishnan said they also have plans to launch PSLV-C36 in between GSLV Mk III and PSLV-C35 or in January next year.

I believe the author of the article got a bit confused. It should be referring to two different PSLV launches between Sep and Nov, one for Resourcesat and the other for Scatsat.

PSLV-C36 / Resourcesat-2A

Resourcesat-2A is a follow on mission to Resourcesat-2 and intended to provide data continuity to the users. The configuration is similar to Resourcesat-2 having three-tier imaging capability, with a unique combination of payloads consisting of three solid-state cameras, namely, a high resolution Linear Imaging Self Scanning Sensor – LISS-IV, a medium resolution Linear Imaging Self Scanning Sensor – LISS-III and an Advanced Wide Field Sensor (AWiFS).  The spacecraft mass is around 1200 kg with a power generation capacity of 1250 W and a mission life of 5 years. The satellite will be placed in SSP orbit of 817 km altitude with an inclination of 98.69 deg. 

The satellite is scheduled for launch during Fourth Quarter of 2016 onboard PSLV from SDSC SHAR, Sriharikota.

"Soon after the success of PSLV-C35 launch, preparations are on for the next PSLV C-36 mission in November for the launch of Resourcesat-2A which is a follow on mission to remote sensing satellite by ISRO created for providing accurate data about Earth surface," Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre (VSSC) director K Sivan told TOI.

In addition to Resourcesat-2A satellite, the PSLV-C36 will have a payload of customer satellites including a NIU satellite from Noorul Islam University in Tamilnadu and a couple of foreign satellites, he said.

According to scientists at VSSC, the foreign satellites planned for launch with PSLV- C36 mission include Italy's Max Valier satellite and Latvia's Venta-1 satellite.

THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Six students from the state will get a chance to view a full-fledged space mission from the Sriharikota spaceport in November. All the expenses of the expedition will be borne by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO). The six students are winners of an all-Kerala quiz contest conducted by the ISRO units in Thiruvananthapuram as part of this year’s World Space Week (WSW-2016) celebrations. Their visit will be a first for ISRO, as this is the first time that the space agency is extending a formal invitation to school students to witness a launch, ISRO officials said.

Quote
“They will be taken to the Satish Dhawan Space Centre, Sriharikota, to witness the Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle-C 36 (PSLV-C 36) mission slated for November this year. This is the first time that the ISRO chairman, A S Kiran Kumar, is issuing an invitation to school students for a mission,” VSSC spokesperson S R Vijayamohana Kumar said. The PSLV C-36 mission will place the Resource-2A satellite in orbit in November. The satellite is a follow-on project to the Resource-2 satellite, and has the same configuration.

The final nod of Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) for launch of NUISAT disaster management and warning satellite of Noorul Islam University (NIU) on board ISRO's PSLV-C36 rocket on November 23 will set the stage for NIU to foray into possibilities of developing commercial satellites. Madhya Pradesh and Jharkhand government agencies have approached NIU for assembling satellites. Jharkhand government has presented a Rs 150 Cr project for developing a satellite. NIU also plans to develop satellites with synthetic aperture radars to monitor weather even amidst dense clouds.

Quote
"The project is a realisation of the dream of my father Majeed Khan after his concern to minimise disaster risks in the wake of tsunami in 2004 that claimed many lives. It is made possible by scientific experts led by former ISRO distinguished scientists Dr A E Muthunayagam and Dr M Krishnaswami as its project directors with faculty and students of the 150-member satellite team. Government agencies in MP and Jharkhand have approached us for developing satellites to monitor crops and weather," he said. Roughly, it incurred an expenditure of Rs 40 crore to develop NIUSAT and received Rs 5 crore worth components as part of ISRO student satellite program. ISRO offers the satellite launch facility free of cost and the support to innovate and inspire an educational institution is highly commendable, he said.

Quote
Further, NIU plans to develop satellite with synthetic aperture radars to monitor weather even amidst dense clouds which is not possible with NUISAT's optical payload. It also plans to develop satellites with `Automatic Identification System' to monitor 20,000 ships in the sea and even beyond 20 km of the national waters.

Ideally this launch should be with PSLV-G version.
Referring previous launches -
PSLV-C05 (G)   Resoursesat-1 with 1360 Kg into 821 Km HPSSO at 98.76° and
PSLV-C16 (G)   Resoursesat-2 with 1404 Kg (incl aux payloads) into 822 Km CPSSO at 98.731°

Thx

Trivandrum: The first private nano satellite built by University students for disaster management and warning has been handed over by Kerala Governor Justice P Sathashivam to ISRO.  It is expected to be launched from Sriharikkotta by ISRO.

The students of Noorul Islam University (NIU) proudly exhibited their nano satellite called Noorul Islam University Satellite (NIUSAT) at a function in Kanakakkunnu Palace earlier this week. The project, which took 5 years to complete, was undertaken by students and faculty members of Kanyakumari district’s science and technology university Noorul Islam University (NIU). 150 students of NIU participated in the making of the satellite.

Quote
The satellite can detect the spread of infections of crops and can warn farmers, detect water sources for irrigation, detect environmental pollution, help in national security, assess the magnitude of flood and forest fires. With these functions the satellite can mitigate the effects of natural disasters and help in disaster management and warning.
