Mr Sivan said KALAMSAT, a student satellite, will be launched by PLSV-44 on January 24.
On the next PSLV missions lined up, Isro scientists said, PSLV- C45 mission is planned before the first quarter of this year for the launch of advanced electronic intelligence satellite EMISAT with DRDO and 30 commercial satellites.PSLV- C46 is slated in February for the launch of the earth observation satellite Cartosat-3 with high-resolution cameras and optical devices for effective imaging. Then, PSLV-C47 mission planned in March is set for the launch of RISAT 2BR 1, a Radar Imaging Satellite for reconnaissance and strategic surveillance.
Senior officials said Isro also planned to launch by October this year GSAT20, a telecommunications satellite, to provide 100 Gbps broadband connectivity and a satellite each for microwave remote sensing and advanced geographic imaging.
About the HTSs, Dr. Sivan said, “Our target is to deliver close to [a Net data speed at the rate of] 100 Gbps through them. We have planned a fourth one, too — the GSAT-20. It will be a four-tonne-class HTS and will be launched towards the second half of 2019 on our GSLV MarkIII vehicle. With that, our current national requirement should be met.”

GSAT-20 to ensure faster internet this yrThe satellite will complete a constellation of satellites which use special transponders to beam high frequency signals for better connectivity in the country.Published: 13th January 2019 03:01 AM | Last Updated: 13th January 2019 07:06 AM | A+A A-By Akram MohammedBENGALURU: Come 2019, Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) will launch GSAT-20 — its second five-tonne class satellite after GSAT-11 — completing its network of high throughput communication satellites.This along with GSAT-19, GSAT-29 and GSAT-11, all launched in 2018, is expected to boost communication capabilities of the country by providing high-speed internet of 100 Gbps or more to even rural areas in India. GSAT-20 will be among the 32 missions planned by ISRO in 2019 and will be the second heaviest satellite built by ISRO.The satellite will complete a constellation of satellites which use special transponders to beam high frequency signals for better connectivity in the country. ISRO chairman K Sivan said on Friday that GSAT-20 is also expected to provide inflight internet connectivity also. “The launch of GSAT-20 will complete Government of India’s ‘Digital India’ programme. Along with the other GSATs (launched in 2018), it will meet the requirement of high-speed communication technologies of our country,” he said.32 missionsGSAT-20, which is expected to be launched in September, will be among the 32 missions of ISRO in 2019. While 14 will be launch missions, 18 will be spacecraft missions. Of the 14 launch missions, eight will use PSLV, two using Geosynchronous Launch Vehicle, two GSLV Mk-III and two using Small Satellite Launch Vehicle. Among the important spacecraft missions planned is Chandrayaan-2, which will be launched during mid- April or later in June if ISRO misses the April window.
Sivan listed launches and projects lined up for 2019 apart from Gaganyaan. Among them are key tests of the Re-usable Launch Vehicle, a PSLV launch that will test a new technology on its fourth stage and GSAT-20, planned for October-September.

Isro team is all set to develop the space shuttle ‘Gaganyaan’ to send a three-member crew to space for seven days by December 2021. Ahead of that, an unmanned mission is planned in December 2020 and tests will be carried out for that.

CHENNAI: The Indian space agency will fly two small defence satellites in July/August on its new rocket --now known as Small Satellite Launch Vehicle (SSLV) - said a top official of Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO)."We are planning to fly two defence satellites, each weighing about 120 kg in our new rocket SSLV this July or August. The rocket design recently underwent a detailed integrated technical review," K. Sivan, ISRO Chairman, told IANS on Wednesday.He said the total weight of the payload that will be carried by the SSLV on its maiden flight will be about 500 kg. While the two satellites would weight about 120 kg each, there will be adaptors and others that would weigh about 300 kg.The total weight of the rocket will be 110 tonne, Sivan said.
