Major Programmes for 2010-2011
Integration and launch of PSLV Flights PSLV-C16 (Resourcesat-
2, XSAT, Youthsat), PSLV-C17 (RISAT-1), PSLV-C18 (Megha-
Tropiques), PSLV-C19 (SRE-2, PROTIERS) and PSLV-C20
(SARAL, SAPPHIRE, NLS-7)
http://expressbuzz.com/nation/isro-plan-to-launch-8-spacecraft-a-year/206898.htmlQuoteOn the PSOM-XL motor fabricated by Ramakrishna Engineering Company, Veeraraghavan said while the six solid propellant strap-on motors in the standard PSLV carried nine tonnes of propellant, the new version PSOM-XL with a length of 13.5 metre had the capacity to carry a 12-tonne propellant. It would boost the capability of PSLV from 1,450 kg to 1,750 kg for a sun synchronous orbit. The motor will be used in the launch of PSLV C18 and PSLV C19 in the middle of next year, he added.

"Russia and India have defined the launch date for YouthSat satellite, ITAR-TASS informs, quoting Roscosmos Deputy Head Anatoly Shilov.
Youthsat, a micro satellite carrying scientific payloads, is a participatory scientific mission with a payload from Russia designed by Lomonosov Moscow State University and two from India. The launch site would be Sriharikota." -

Final go-ahead for GSAT-5P launch to be given on December 20
(source)
Edit on Nov 26: December 20 is rather the indicated planned launch date -

In the referenced article it is written
"top space scientists would meet on December 10 to conduct a mission-readiness review and give the final go-ahead for the launch on December 20."
Does "December 20" refer to the final go-ahead or to the launch?
Is it one meeting or two?
I understand that there is a meeting on December 10, and the launch on December 20.
Do you share my view? -

My first reading was as yours and then I had a second thought...
but your reading seems correct according to this last release:
http://www.domain-b.com/organisation/isro/20101126_twin_launches.html
since the launch window mentionned is December 10-20, I'd say Dec 20 is the most probable date at this time! -

As there appears to be some confusion on the designation of the payload:
Apparently these are two different Satellites: GSat 5 (Insat 4D) and GSat-5P
The payload here on thes December 2010 GSLV launch is GSat 5P, which has no Insat designation.
ISRO report 2010 (section Communication) http://www.isro.org/rep2010/citizens.htm has two entries:Quote from: http://www.isro.org/rep2010/communication3.htmGSAT-5 PRIME
GSAT-5P is being planned as replacement for INSAT-3E and will carry 24 Normal C Band and 12 Extended C Band transponders with India Coverage. The spacecraft will be positioned at 55 deg East longitude with a mission life of 12 years.
The spacecraft weighs 2330 kg and payload power requirement is 1700W. Spacecraft configuration and equipment panel layouts are finalised. Payload subsystems and other subsystem packages are under advanced stage of realisation.Quote from: http://www.isro.org/rep2010/communication4.htmGSAT-5/INSAT-4D
Configured as an exclusive C-band communication satellite, GSAT-5/INSAT-4D will carry 12 normal C-band transponders and six extended C-band transponders with wider coverage in uplink and downlink over Asia, Africa and Eastern Europe as well as zonal coverage with a minimum of 35 dBW EIRP.
The spacecraft has a mission life of 12 years. The spacecraft weighs 2330 kg and has a power generation capability of 2000W. The layouts for all equipment panels are finalised. Fabrication of bus system elements have been initiated. -

Thanks Gunter for pointing to these differences between GSAT-5P and Insat-4D.
BTW, it would help if ISRO could update their description for GSAT-5P which appears at
http://www.isro.org/scripts/futureprogramme.aspx
and which could create confusion..Quote from: http://www.isro.org/scripts/futureprogramme.aspx as of November 28, 2010GSAT-5P
Configured as an exclusive C-band communication satellite, GSAT-5P/INSAT-4D will carry 12 normal C-band transponders and 6 extended C-band transponders with wider coverage in uplink and downlink over Asia, Africa and Eastern Europe as well as zonal coverage with a minimum of 35 dBW EIRP. The spacecraft has a mission life of 12 years and planned to be launched onboard GSLV-F06. -

The two cube-shaped satellites -- each measuring just 20 centimetres (eight inches) per side and weighing seven kilograms (15 pounds) -- are part of a joint project with Canada and Poland entitled "BRITE" (Bright Target Explorer).
QuoteThe Austrian satellites will be launched aboard an Indian rocket in late July, although a clear date as not yet been set.
Four further satellites, two from Poland and two from Canada, will then follow in 2012. -

GSLV-F06 will fly with russian C15 upper stage. It is a first indo-russian GSLV MkII.
The satellite is heavier too...GSLV MK-I series was supposed to have 2T capacity and MK-II series with 2.5T
The cryo engine has changed from C12.5 to C15...and the rocket is taller too 49 m to 51 m
May be they end up buying C25 stage for GSLV MK-III too..It will be better than waiting another 10years for one...
