A third lunar mission

Rumours that India will launch Chandrayaan-3, its third Moon mission, have been confirmed. Work has already begun, and the next mission will consist for a lander and a rover, and while utilizing Chandrayaan-2’s operational orbiter.

The first flight of the SSLV

ISRO will conduct the maiden flight of the Small Satellite Launch Vehicle (SSLV), which will supplement the PSLV in catering to the small satellite market.

...

Launch of the Indian Data Relay Satellite System (IDRSS)

ISRO will launch 2 satellites as part of its planned data relay constellation, which K. Sivan explained is necessary for Gaganyaan.

The first solar mission

India’s first solar mission, Aditya-L1, will be launched in the second half of 2020. The 1,500 kg satellite will function as a solar observatory and will be inserted in a halo orbit around the L1 point.

Work on the two IDRSS satellites planned initially has begun. The first of them will be sent towards the end of 2020. It will precede the pre-Gaganyaan experimental unmanned space flight which will have a humanoid dummy. A second one will follow in 2021. The two will offer near total tracking, sending and receiving of information from the crew 24/7.

Q. You had a project to launch the Aditya-I, a space observation platform, with Isro. What is the status of this project?

A. Aditya-I will be launched by the end of next year or sometime in 2021. We are starting the integration of the payload within the frame of the satellite. It is not a joke to integrate this system because Aditya is going to study the corona of the sun. This necessitated upgrading our clean-room facilities in terra firma to test the efficacy of the system. We now have a 10-particle-per-unit cleanroom at IIA’s CREST facility in Hoskote where the integration and testing are being carried out. Following Aditya, we have also proposed to launch a next-generation UV telescope into orbit.

Q. This is a separate project?

A. Yes, this is a UV space observatory. It is called INSIST. It is an all-Indian spectroscopic Imaging space telescope, which will look at a galaxy, at a very high resolution.

Q. When can we see this project to materialise?

A. It is in what Isro calls the pre-project phase. The technology demonstration is being carried out. If this proposal goes through, we will have a launch in the middle of the next decade. No one else will have anything like this in space.

Isro is also launching dedicated two communication satellites — Indian data relay satellite system (IDRSS) to ensure that the Astronauts are in constant touch with the space agency’s scientists on ground throughout the mission.

Pointing out the need for a roundthe-clock communication system once a human is launched into space, Sivan said of the many options, IDRSS was the least expensive.

“I think August 2022 is a somewhat aggressive target given the complexity of human missions to Low Earth Orbit (LEO),” said Susmita Mohanty, CEO of Earth2Orbit, India’s first private space startup.

Financial Express Online was the first to report about the launch of the Brazilian Satellite in 2020. According to a representative of the Brazilian Space Agency (AEB), “The launch of Amazonia with PSLV later this year is confirmed. It is expected to be launched either in June or July.”

Has been, and will be, the FLP dedicated to the SSLV D1 launch campaign, since the previous launch from FLP in December, until April?

Will all orbital launches in the next few months be performed from SLP?

Kleos Space confirms shipping date of first satellites to ISRO launch site

Kleos Space (ASX: KSS) has received authorisation to ship its four Scouting Mission satellites to the integration and launch site on 11 February in preparation for launch.

The space-powered radio frequency reconnaissance data-as-a-service company will launch its first satellites aboard the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) PSLV C49 from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Chennai, India.

Later this year, ISRO is also scheduled to launch the Oceansat-3 mission (tentatively between June – October, 2020) from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre. The payload for Oceansat-3 consists of three instruments, including the 13-band Ocean Colour Monitor (OCM, 360 m spatial resolution). These instruments will collect data on ocean colour, sea surface temperature and wind vector data. Oceansat-3 (and the follow-on Oceansat-3A mission, to be launched in 2020/2021) is envisaged to provide service continuity for operational users of OCM data from Oceansat-2, as well as to enhance operational services like potential fishery zone (PFZ) advisories, using simultaneous ocean colour (chl) and sea surface temperature (SST) measurements.

Assuming:

That the FLP is occupied with the SSLV D1 launch campaign until it launches.

And therefore, that the SLP is the only one available for PSLV, GSLV Mk II, and GSLV Mk III, until SSLV D1 launches.

Perhaps for the next few orbital launches?:
