According to ISRO, the PSLV-C56 was launched from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre's First Launch Pad (FLP) in Sriharikota.
Digital Desk: The launch of seven satellites by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) on Sunday, according to the Indian High Commission in Singapore, represents another significant development in the two nations' space partnership.
“India-Singapore space partnership marks another milestone with the launch of 7 Singaporean satellites by Indian space agency ISRO today,” the Indian High Commission in Singapore tweeted on Sunday.
From Satish Dhawan Space Centre (SDSC) SHAR, Sriharikota, the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) launched PSLV-C56 on Sunday carrying seven satellites, including the main satellite DS-SAR and six co-passenger spacecraft.
On Sunday at 6.30 a.m., the launch vehicle lifted off from Sriharikota.
"PSLV-C56/ DS-SAR Mission: The mission is successfully accomplished. PSLV-C56 vehicle launched all seven satellites precisely into their intended orbits. Thanks to @NSIL_India and Singapore, for the contract," tweeted ISRO.
This PSLV mission is the 17th to use the Core Alone configuration and the 58th overall. To ensure the rocket's upper stage had a shorter orbital life, all the satellites were injected after the rocket's upper stage was placed in a lower orbit.
According to ISRO, the PSLV-C56 was launched from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre's First Launch Pad (FLP) in Sriharikota.
The Dedicated Commercial Mission of NewSpace India Limited (NSIL) for ST Engineering, Singapore is PSLV-C56 / DS-SAR. The main satellite for the mission is DS-SAR, an Earth observation satellite with radar imaging. Six co-passenger client satellites belonged to Singapore.
The ISRO claimed in a previous announcement that all satellites would be placed into a 535 km circular orbit with a 5-degree orbital inclination.
The DSTA, which represents the Singaporean government, and ST Engineering collaborated to construct the DS-SAR satellite. once put into use and implemented. It will be applied to serve the satellite imagery needs of various agencies within the Government of Singapore.
It will be used by ST Engineering to provide their commercial clients with multi-modal, more responsive images and geospatial services. The Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) payload of DS-SAR was created by Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI).
The DS-SAR can now provide all-weather day and night coverage and, according to the ISRO, is capable of imaging at 1m resolution at full polarimetry.
