NOTAMed areas for respectively:
- 1st stage debris
- Fairing debris
- 2nd stage debris
- 3rd stage debris
This is the flight profile for PSLV-CA not PSLV-XL
Looks like the launch date is holding after all. Any idea which pad this will be launched from?

Welcome to the forum, sporty and thanks for the valuable information!
As per my observation, this is the 50th rocket launch from Sriharikota (considering all SLVs - SLV, ASLV, PSLV, GSLV & LVM3). Can some one validate this point?
Here are some important milestones:
01. SLV3-E1 10-Aug-1979
05. ASLV3-D1 13-Jul-1987
10. PSLV-D2 15-Oct-1994
15. PSLV-C3 22-Oct-2001
20. PSLV-C6 05-May-2005
25. PSLV-C10 21-Jan-2008
30. GSLV-D3(M2) 15-Apr-2010
35. PSLV-C18 12-Oct-2011
40. PSLV-C25 05-Nov-2013
45. GSLV-X1(M3) 18-Dec-2014
It took around ~35 years for ISRO to achieve this feat. One can observe a faster pace of launches in last few years (2nd 25 in last 7/8 years time period). Hope to see the century soon...
. I believe, ISRO will reach it within next 5-7 years time frame.
Thx
~Prasad
ISRO is counting '49 Launch Vehicle Missions' so far
So yeah this will be 50th.

In flight profile, they've mentioned fourth stage restart as well.

To get rid of it I suppose?
I think they want to validate in-orbit restart of the modified engine which will be used both in PAM-G and Orbital Vehicle.
Interesting. This is the first time I am seeing fourth stage restart being mentioned in flight profile (but not sure if they were doing it earlier as well and just didn't put it in brochure). If it's not done before, and if it's to validate PAM-G, then it would be cool
hi Guys,
sorry to correct you... Athenoxat-1 has nothing to do with National University of Singapore.
It is developed and build by Microspace Rapid Pte Ltd, a private company in Singapore.
Cheers.

If the last stage ( 4th stage for PSLV ) gets restarted in this mission, then this will be the first time that any ISRO launch vehicle is doing this feature. It will be an achievement, but disappointingly ISRO is late to accomplish such feature. Chinese Long March 3A had accomplished this feat in the late 80s. All the Long March 3 series of Launchers and Ariane 5 ES have restart capability for the last stage. Japanese H-IIA and H-IIB Launchers have 16 restarts capability for the last stage. Not to speak of US and Russian Launchers.

What is the main challenge in the restart of a hypergolic upper stage, given that it does not require an igniter? Is it the difficulty in pushing propellent from tanks to the engine when the stage is experiencing zero acceleration? Or is it something else?
. I believe, ISRO will reach it within next 5-7 years time frame. 
So yeah this will be 50th.
