That input-2. The article saysA date for SPOT-7 will be discussed when signing the agreement. “One can expect the launch from December onwards,” Dr. Radhakrishnan said.so shouldn't you have Dec. 2013 as the launch date?
Thanks input-2, but that document was created on 20 September 2012, so might be out of date.

ISRO, which successfully launched a GSLV with indigeonous cryogenic engine would conduct an experimental launch of GSLV Mark III in June this year, said Radhakrishnan. Another PSLV carrying a French satellite SPOT 7 and four other foreign satellites were also to be launched in the same month, he said.
The C-23 is a ‘PSLV-CA (Core Alone)’ model meaning that the rocket will not be sporting strap-on motors.

Pitch and yaw control of the PSLV during the thrust phase of the solid motor is achieved by injection of an aqueous solution of strontium perchlorate in the nozzle to constitute Secondary Injection Thrust Vector Control System (SITVC). The injection is stored in two cylindrical aluminum tanks strapped to the solid rocket motor and pressurized with nitrogen. There are two additional small liquid engine control power plants in the first stage, the Roll Control Thrusters (RCT), fixed radially opposite one on each side, between the triplet set of strap-on boosters. RCT is used for roll control during the first stage and the SITVC in two strap-on motors is for roll control augmentation.
The rocket launch is slated for last week of June.
piggybacking on the main luggage will be four more small satellites - two from Canada and one each from Germany and Singapore
