Planned missions of the PSLV rocket and its big brother GSLV would go on as scheduled in the coming months, according to statements made by ISRO Chairman A.S.Kiran Kumar at Sriharikota after the launch and separately by VSSC Director K.Sivan.The next PSLV mission is tentatively due in November or December to launch a Cartosat-2 series remote sensing satellite. It may also carry smaller customer satellites.A GSLV flight may take place later this year to put military communications satellite GSAT-6A to space to support the older GSAT-6. A heavy-lift GSLV Mark III carrying a large communications satellite is also likely in February 2018.
"We will resume the launches by November or December, with one of the remote sensing satellites though we are yet to finalise with which," said A.S. Kiran Kumar, Chairman of the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO).
The deadline for IRNSS-1I was around May of 2018. Dr. Annadurai said that as of now, the timeline remained the same. The launch of 1I, when it was ready, would also have to align with ISRO’s other missions, he said.
The 450-kilogram NovaSAR, whose total cost has been estimated at about 50 million British pounds ($65 million), is a partnership between the British government and SSTL. The government contributed about 21 million British pounds to NovaSAR’s development and launch.The satellite is scheduled for launch in early 2018 aboard an Indian PSLV rocket. The rocket is recovering from an Aug. 31 failure — its payload fairing failed to separate — and Indian authorities hope to return to flight late this year. The NovaSAR is scheduled for the flight after that.
GSLV-MkIII-D2/GSAT-29 Mission is scheduled to be launched during the first half of 2018.
Caleb Henry @CHenry_SNTelesat's Erwin Hudson: first LEO satellite launches November 28 on Soyuz. Second satellite scheduled for Dec. 30 (PSLV). Expecting to launch large batches in 2020, completing the constellation in 2021.
Peter B. de Selding @pbdesSmallsat builder @SurreySat ships #Telesat's LEO-1 Ka-band broadband prototype satellite to India for @isro PSLV launch late December; 2nd LEO prototype, built by @sslmda, launches Nov 28 on Russian Soyuz.
ISRO says its next launch will be in Dec end or Jan first week
It's all over: https://the-ken.com/teamindus-isro-call-off-glxp/QuoteTeamIndus and Isro have not made it public yet but they have called off the Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle launch contract signed for the GLXP mission. A host of issues led to this decision though primary among them is a payment cycle gone awry. A chartered PSLV flight costs anywhere between $25-30 million.TeamIndus continues its fund-raising efforts though it’s not clear whether it would go for an independent moon mission in 2018 or later or take a different growth path altogether.What was supposed to be a banner year for the Bengaluru company, hasn’t begun well but it could still have an expected end
