A senior official from NSIL told TOI: “The next foreign satellite launch is scheduled on the PSLV-C53 mission. Given that this is a commercial mission, the details about the country from which the satellite is coming cannot be revealed at this moment. But the discussions are in really advanced stages and should be completed soon.”

Dhruva Space to test its Satellite Deployer onboard ISRO PSLV C53 Mission on June 30

Quote
As a part of its Launch Services Agreement signed with NewSpace India Limited (NSIL), Dhruva Space will be utilising the PSLV Orbital Experimental Module (POEM) which allows in-orbit scientific experiments using the spent PS4 stage as an orbital platform.

Quote
Speaking ahead of the PSLV C53 mission, Sanjay Nekkanti, CEO, Dhruva Space Private Limited, shares, “The PSLV C53 mission is a key milestone in the journey of Dhruva Space. The mission will demonstrate the in-house developed CubeSat Deployers ahead of the launch of our Satellite Missions, Thybolt-1 & Thybolt-2, onboard the PSLV C54 Mission. This will also enable Dhruva Space to support our international clients with CubeSat Deployers, Integration and Launch Services”.

PSLV-C53 carries three satellites. These include DS-EO, a 365kg satellite and NeuSAR a 155kg satellite -- both belonging to Singapore. The third satellite is a 2.8kg Scoob-1 of Nanyang Technological University (NTU), Singapore.

DS-EO carries an electro-optic, multi-spectral payload that will provide full-colour images for land classification, and serve in humanitarian assistance and disaster relief needs.

NeuSAR is Singapore's first small commercial satellite carrying a SAR payload, which is capable of providing images in day and night and under all weather conditions.

The SCOOB-I satellite is the first satellite in the Student Satellite Series (S3-I), a hands-on student training programme from the Satellite Research Centre (SaRC) at Singapore's NTU School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering.

Quote
The PSLV Orbital Experimental Module (POEM) activity is of performing in-orbit scientific experiments using the spent PS4 stage as an orbital platform.

POEM carries six payloads including two from Indian Space Start-ups – the M/s Digantara and M/s Dhruva Space, enabled though IN-SPACe and NSIL.

Digantara CEO Anirudh Sharma told STOI: "We will be launching a weather satellite. We intend to solve the shortage of empirical space weather data with our patented technology, ROBI (ROBust Integrating proton fluence metre), the world’s smallest digital space weather sensor. What makes ROBI special is that it is extremely small, less than 1cm in size, and consumes less than 20mW of power."
