What's the source for the delay from the 25th of May to "June"?I am one of the students involved in one of the QB 50 satellites (COMPASS 2 to be precise) and right now we have no information on the current launch date from any official side, that's why I am asking...
LPSC director S Somnath had earlier said that the GSLV-Mk III is set to launch the communication satellite GSAT-19 by May end and then Earth observation satellite Cartosat-2E will be launched via PSLV-C38 by June first week.
Primary objective:In order to provide high resolution, this satellite will prove more specific scene spot imagery. PSLV-C38/Cartosat-2 Series Satellite mission is scheduled to be launched from ISRO's trusted workhouse - SDSC SHAR, Sriharikota, located in Andhra Pradesh.About the mission:* This is similar to earlier launched satellites in the series. The Cartosat-2 Series Satellite along with co-passenger satellites from abroad is planned to be launched by PSLV-C38 into the altitude of 500 kmCartosat-2 Series has the capability of a long-track and across-track steering, up to 26 degrees* ISRO has invested an amount of Rs. 160 Crores for this mission* The satellite will have a single panchromatic camera along with multi-spectral cameras which can detect scene specific images* Co-passenger satellites includes nano-satellites, one each from various countries. Using the panchromatic camera, the satellite will have a multi-spectral instrument, which will support it in adapting high-resolution land observation and cartography* Cartosat-2 Series whose PAN camera covers 50 degrees of the payload area can steer up to 45 degrees on-track as well as across and will cover the entire earth in 1867 orbits on a 126-day cycle* Not only capturing images, the satellite also has the ability to record videos from the sky. It will help in scanning a wide range of activities involving military and civil planningFacts* The satellite can produce images of up to 100 cm in resolution but in black and white specifically, compared to the 80 cm offered by Ikonos* In the past, India used to buy in bulk images from Ikonos at about USD 20 per sq km of imagery* With Cartosat-2 offering better resolution at 20 times lower cost per sq m of imagery, buying images from Ikonos has declined.
Cartosat-2 Series follow on satellite and Student Satellite NIUSAT flagged off from ISRO Satellite Centre to SDSC-SHAR Launchpad on 09th June 2017.
