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.
The Scouting Mission satellites will launch from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre aboard PSLV C49 (a rideshare launch including satellites from other organisations such as Spire Global) into a 37-degree inclination

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.

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.

PSLV-C47 / Cartosat-3 MissionIndia’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.
