Kleos Space S.A (ASX:KSS, Frankfurt:KS1), a space-powered Radio Frequency Reconnaissance data-as-a-service (DaaS) company, has received confirmation that the Kleos Scouting Mission1 will launch on a PSLV rocket from Chennai, India in December 2019.

Spaceflight Announces Next Three Rideshare Missions on ISRO’s PSLV, Slated Through the End of 2019

The rideshare service provider will launch 14 customer satellites from four different organizations on the next three launches

 

SEATTLE – Oct. 15, 2019 – Spaceflight, the leading satellite rideshare and mission management provider, today announced it will launch 14 more spacecraft from India’s Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV) this year. Payloads will launch on PSLV’s C47, C48 and C49 missions, scheduled to launch in November and December 2019 from India’s Satish Dhawan Space Center. Customers aboard the missions include Analytical Space, Spire, iQPS and Kleos Space.

Analytical Space Inc.’s (ASI) second technical demonstration spacecraft, dubbed Meshbed, will be launching on PSLV C47 in November. ASI’s mission is an on-orbit demonstration intended to test technology that will enable users on Earth to gain faster access to satellite data. The spacecraft features a patented antenna from MITRE that could help enable faster access to space-based data, as well as government missions including tactical communications and intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance.

PSLV C48, slated for early December, will carry Japan’s iQPS SAR microsatellite and four multi-payload Earth observation nanosatellites that add to Spire Global's constellation of maritime, aviation and weather monitoring satellites. PSLV C49, also scheduled in December, will take Luxembourg-based Kleos’ Scouting Mission satellites, the foundational system in the company’s radio frequency monitoring constellation, and additional Spire nanosats to orbit.

“PSLV continues to be a reliable launch partner for us, enabling Spaceflight to launch a variety of customers,” said Curt Blake, CEO and president of Spaceflight. “By the end of 2019, we will have executed 11 launches on PSLVs and sent more than 100 satellites to orbit on this vehicle. The consistency of the PSLV has played a critical role is assisting our customers, especially those launching constellations, achieve their mission and business goals.”

The company’s last mission aboard this launch vehicle was PSLV C45 which deployed 21 rideshare spacecraft earlier this year. Spaceflight has completed five missions already this year, with another five planned in 2019. Other noteworthy 2019 missions include Spaceflight’s GTO-1, which deployed the first commercial lunar lander aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9, and two rideshare missions with Rocket Lab, which sent nine spacecraft to orbit. In December 2018, SSO-A, the company’s historic dedicated rideshare mission, successfully launched 64 unique smallsats, making it the single largest deployment of satellites from a U.S.-based launch vehicle.

Spaceflight also recently announced its purchase of the first commercial launch of the Small Satellite Launch Vehicle (SSLV) from NewSpace India Limited (NSIL), scheduled for early 2020.

There will be also "additional Spire nanosats to orbit" on PSLV C-49.

    Very nice to know that the GSLV Mk2 with GISAT-1 is going to be launched in November!  IIRC, this is going to be ISRO's first direct injection into GSO.

I think we achieved it during Chandrayaan-2 launch if I'm not wrong.

Chandrayaan 2 did NOT go directly to GEO. It was a typical GTO with an apogee of about 45,000 kilometers.

Planned launches
2019
...
End December- PSLV C49 - RISAT-1A + Kleos
...

It is highly unlikely, that RISAT-1A is the main payload on this launch. The Kleos satellites will go to a 37° orbit, which hints to RISAT-2BR2 as a main payload. RISAT-1A will replace RISAT-1, which is in an 96° orbit.

Input's new listings up-thread have no launch month for GISAT-1, and I haven't read any new news about that launch campaign.

That's certainly disappointing, because not long ago, it appeared very certain that there was going to be one GSLV Mark 2 launch( with GISAT-1), as well as one more GSLV Mark 3(GSAT-20) by year end. A few weeks ago the ISRO chairman stated that the Mark 2 mission at least, would be given high priority.  Wonder what has changed so significantly, that both these missions could now be put off until the new year. From Input's list, GSAT-20 may be launched only well into 2020.

Planned and delayed military missile tests could take range priority. Not sure how this works on India's range system.

Clarification of Cartosat-3 launch date/time, starting here:
November 10, within 03:30 to 05:30 UTC.

Twelve of Planet’s latest-generation SuperDoves, Flock 4p, are scheduled for launch on November 20, 2019, joining the 26 SuperDove prototypes already in orbit. This Flock will hitch a ride on the Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV),

Planet’s Flock 4p will mark the fifth launch of Planet satellites on India’s PSLV, and will be riding with India’s CartoSat-3 satellite as the PSLV-C47 mission’s primary payload.

During IAC2019 in Washington DC I spoke with S Somanath  (Director of VSSC) and R Umamaheswaran (Scientific Secretary)  from ISRO on Thursday 24th October.
...
The 50 min audio interview is vailable here https://astrotalkuk.org/?p=5703

- First SSLV end 2019 or early 2020 (at 22:50 in the podcast)
- Next GSLV III launch still targeted for mid 2020.
- Aditya-L1 slips to second half 2020 (after 29:00 in the podcast). Note there is a typo in the transcript, which says 2022.
- Shukrayaan-1 (Venus mission) still targeted for 2023

So, Aditya-L1 was actually pushed to 2022 or it was a typo.. Most likely was a typo otherwise wouldn't have mentioned about "second half".

And as 6 tonnes GTO cap Mk3 won't arrive in 2020, GSAT-20 (5.3 tonnes) wouldn't be launched in 2020 most certainly.
IMO its IDRSS' first satellite.

GSAT-20 is built on an I-3K bus, massing 3650 kg.  See launch thread starting here.

PSLV-C47 / Cartosat-3 Mission

India’s Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle, PSLV-C47 will launch Cartosat-3 and 13 commercial nanosatellites iinto Sun Synchronous orbit from Satish Dhawan Space Centre (SDSC) SHAR, Sriharikota. The launch is tentatively scheduled at 0928 Hrs IST on November 25, 2019, subject to weather conditions.

PSLV-C47 is the 21st flight of PSLV in 'XL' configuration (with 6 solid strap-on motors). This will be the 74th launch vehicle mission from SDSC SHAR, Sriharikota.

Cartosat-3 satellite is a third generation agile advanced satellite having high resolution imaging capability.  The satellite will be placed in an orbit of 509 km at an inclination of 97.5 degree.

PSLV-C47 will also carry 13 commercial nanosatellites from United States of America as part of commercial arrangement with NewSpace India Limited (NSIL), Department of Space.
