This launch is now planned NET March

PM3 · « **Reply #1 on:** 02/14/2019 02:03 pm »

There are indications that C45 will not launch before mid March. This would continue the scheme of at least 6-7 weeks between PSLV launches. So Cartosat-3 looks rather like NET April than NET March.

According to Times of India (Dec 2018), it will launch with NEMO-AM. Cartosat-3 is a remote sensing satellite, and NEMO-AM an eath observation (Aerosol Monitoring) sat.

Cartosat-3 coming within weeks? Must be that time again. How's the josh?

zubenelgenubi · « **Reply #3 on:** 03/30/2019 02:34 am »

The next PSLV flight, C45, is scheduled to launch on April 1 UTC from the SLP.

The previous launch from the FLP was PSLV C44, on January 24. It's been a little over two months now since then.

Is there any sign of a launch campaign in progress at the FLP, for the PSLV C46 launch?

From the EMISAT end of launch speech, this is now on C47 and will be after RISAT 2BR1 on C46 in the middle of May. So this makes this launch NET May.

Regarding the scheduling of this upcoming launch:

Deducing from the launch threads here for Cartosat-2C, 2E, and 2F, there should be a "flag-off" notice or notices for Cartosat-3, yes?

Also, would not UTIAS Space Flight Laboratory release news of a successful delivery of NEMO-AM?

As reported in the RISAT 2B speech by the ISRO Chairman, this launch is now after Chandrayan 2 which has a window from 9 to 16 July. Thus this launch is now NET July.

And I'm still trying to be absolutely certain what "NET" means

. Before, after, during, not before..?
Interesting that they changed the launch date of Cartosat-3. It seemed pretty certain it was a June launch, before Chandrayaan. There would be separate teams working on these missions, so it can't be a personnel issue.

With the final preparations at the SLP for the launch of Chandrayaan-2, is there any sign of activity at the FLP?

It has been two months since the last launch from the FLP, PSLV-CA C46.

Is there a PSLV being assembled on the FLP?

If so, could it be for this launch? Or another PSLV payload?

FLP is bring upgraded and these works may be slowing the manifest down a bit. SVAB coming online for SLP and TLP beginning soon will help to accelerate launches. SSLV and other experimental launches from FLP and Indian PM wanting a Spaceport in his home state has also created unrelated issues.

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.

There's usually something different about each of these missions, so for this one..I think I got it, offhand

, it's the combination of the largest main satellite with many co-passengers. There was a heavier satellite, RISAT-1( 1858kg) launched in 2012, but there were no other satellites on board. The other Cartosats, Oceansats et al, may have had more satellites travelling with them, but the main satellites themselves were lighter.

This particular satellite on PSLV C-47, Cartosat-3, weighs in at 1625kg. All the best for a flawless, successful mission!

The first TLE for the PSLV launch is out: 44804/2019-081A is presumably Cartosat 3, in a 500 x 519 km x 97.5 deg, 0930 LTDN sunsync orbit.

Has anyone estimated the aperture and focal length of Cartosat-3's telescope?

Rondaz · « **Reply #122 on:** 11/29/2019 04:34 am »

It looks like we have sufficient separation and good TLEs to allow us to make IDs for the 12 Planet cubesats from yesterday’s CARTOSAT 3 launch. Making updates now.
