SAN ysThe Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV), in its thirtieth flight (PSLV-C28), will launch three identical DMC3 optical earth observation satellites built by Surrey Satellite Technology Limited (SSTL), United Kingdom (UK). The three DMC3 satellites, each weighing 447 kg, will be launched into a 647 km Sun-Synchronous Orbit (SSO) using the high-end version of PSLV (PSLV-XL) from Satish Dhawan Space Centre, Sriharikota (SDSC-SHAR), the spaceport of India, PSLV-C28 will be the ninth flight of PSLV in “XL configuration. The PSLV-C28, in addition to the three DMC carry two auxiliary satellites from UK, viz., CBNT-I, a technology demonstrator earth observation micro satellite built by SSTL, and DeOrbitSail, a technology demonstrator nano satellite built by 3 satellites, will also Surrey Space Centre. With the overall liftoff mass of the five satellites amounting to about 1440 kg, this mission becomes the heaviest commercial mission ever undertaken by Antrix/ISRO. Accommodating the three DMC3 satellites each with a height of about 3 metre within the existing payload fairing of PSLV, was a challenge. To mount these satellites onto the launcher, a circular Launcher adaptor called as L-adaptor and a triangular deck called Multiple Satellite AdapterVersion 2 (MSA-V2), were newly designed and realised by ISRO for this specific purpose. These international customer satellites are being launched as part of the agreement entered into between DMC International Imaging PSLV-C28 at First Launch Pad (DMCii), a wholly owned subsidiary of SSTL, UK and Antrix ‘Corporation Limited (Antrix), the commercial arm of Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO), a Government of India Company under Department of Space.

Major application areas include surveying the resources on earth and its environment, managing urban infrastructure and monitoring of disasters, See Zaks SURREY Ome International Imaging CBNT-1 (left) and three DMCS satellites (right) in clean room 447 Kg 647 km (Nominal) 98.06 degree High resolution Imager 1m Panchromatic, 4m MultiSpectral (Blue, Green, Red, NIR) 23.35 km Lithium lon 480 Whr, Solar panel - 230 W Peak BO!

Antrix promotes and commercially exploits the products and services emanating from the Indian Space Programme. Antrixwas awarded the ‘MINIRATNA status in the year 2008. So far, Antrix has provided launch services on-board PSLV for 40 customer satellites from 19 countries, In addition to providing launch services for international customer satellites, Antrix provisions communication satellite transponders for broadcasting and telecommunication services, markets data from Indian Remote Sensing (IRS) satellites, builds and markets satellites, and satellite subsystems and extends mission support services for satellite launches.Satellites of other countries launched by PSLV SLNO.
