http://www.deccanchronicle.com/visakhapatnam/isro-focus-satellite-gps-477Speaking at the first convocation of the Gitam University here on Saturday, the Isro chairman, Dr K. Radhakrishnan, said the organisation would launch microwave RISAT-1 next year that has all-weather imaging capabilities. INSAT-3D with imager and sounder for retrieving water vapour, wind and temperature, SARAL for sea surface altimetry and small satellites for measuring aerosols and trace gases.
http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/chennai/ISRO-to-launch-two-more-satellites-by-December/articleshow/6502654.cmsThe Indian Space Research Organization ( ISRO) has planned two more launches a PSLV and a GSLV mission in December.
The first would be PSLV-C16 mission which would place Resourcesat satellite and two other satellites -- a 90 kg satellite developed by Singapore University and a 90 kg Youthsat, developed by students of Russian and Indian universities -- in orbit.
This would be followed by a GSLV-F06 mission, using the Russian cryogenic stage, to place Indian Communication Satellite GSAT-5B in the GST orbit.

Small updates...
1. GSLV-F06 is planned in OCT 2010.
2. PSLV-C16 is planned after GSLV-F06 (Initial plan was to launch in 2 weeks after GSLV-F06). I think, it will be completed by Dec 2010, in the worst-case. :-)

http://www.spacenews.com/satellite_telecom/100929-orbcomm-use-ohb-craft-ais.htmlUnder the agreement disclosed to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Sept. 28, Orbcomm will pay OHB $2 million, with milestone payments starting immediately, for exclusive use of two small satellites being built by OHB’s LuxSpace affiliate in Luxembourg and scheduled for launch in May and June 2011.
OHB, in response to Space News inquiries, issued a statement Sept. 29 saying the company has secured a launch of one of the two LuxSpace-built satellites on an Indian PSLV rocket and is in final negotiations for the launch of the second on an Indian or Chinese rocket. The company said the agreement “ends all Orbcomm claims against OHB, subject to certain exceptions.”

http://www.spaceflightnow.com/news/n1010/12gslv/The next two GSLV missions will fly with Russian stages, beginning with a launch in December to deploy the GSAT 5 communications satellite. Another GSLV will launch by the middle of 2011 with India's last Russian cryogenic engine, according to Radhakrishnan.
India is also designing a cryogenic stage for the third-generation GSLV slated to debut in 2012 or 2013. The GSLV Mk.3 will be powered by a third stage consuming double the propellant of the indigenous GSLV Mk.2 engine that is now the focus of ISRO's rocket engineers.

http://www.dnaindia.com/india/report_india-plans-two-rocket-launches-in-december_1461634India plans two rocket launches in December
Published: Wednesday, Nov 3, 2010, 15:24 IST
Place: Bangalore | Agency: PTI
India is planning two rocket launches next month that would carry on board home-made communication and remote sensing satellites, along with a Russian payload and a Singaporean micro spacecraft.
The first to go up would be a geosynchronous satellite launch vehicle (GSLV), carrying GSAT-5 Prime, a communication satellite, to augment communication services vis-à-vis TV, broadcasting and telecommunications.
The GSAT-5P is equipped with 24 normal C-band transponders and 12 extended C-band transponders.
Sources in the Bangalore-headquartered Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) said that GSAT-5P, with a mission life of 12 years, is slated to be launched in the second week of December.
As of now, the space agency is looking at December 10 as the likely launch date.
Top ISRO officials are meeting on November 10 in the spaceport of Sriharikota in Andhra Pradesh, from where the twin launches would take place, to review the upcoming GSLV mission and firm up the date.
Preparations are also in full swing for the launch of the PSLV-C16 which would carry on board India's advanced remote sensing satellite Resourcesat-2 and auxiliary spacecraft of Youthsat and X-sat, expected towards the end of December.
