ISRO's Latest PSLV Launch Carries India's HySIS Earth Imaging Satellite
Indian rocket Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV) lifted off successfully from Sriharikota on Th with the country's Hyperspectral Imaging Satellite (HysIS), an earth observation satellite, and 30 other foreign satellites.
The PSLV-CA (Core Alone) version (without its usual strap-on motors), continuing 44.4 metres tall and weighing about 230 tonne, took off at 9.58 a.m. from the kickoff launch pad here, spewing thick orange flame. The PSLV rocket, a 4 stage launch vehicle with alternating solid and liquid stages/engines had the 380 kg HysIS and thirty others together weighing 261.5 kg equally its luggage.
According to ISRO, the entire mission volition exist completed in virtually 112 minutes after the rocket's elevator off.
Sixteen minutes into the flying, the rocket's fourth stage/engine will exist switched off. Merely over 17 minutes into the flight, the PSLV rocket will place the HysIS satellite with a mission life span of five years in 636 km polar lord's day synchronous orbit. After that the rocket will be brought to a lower altitude of 503 km from 642 km.
Mail service ejection of HysIS, the rocket's fourth phase volition exist restarted at 59.65 minutes after the elevator off. Subsequently, the engine will be switched off and on twice earlier the terminal passenger is put into orbit virtually 112.79 minutes later on the rocket'south lift off. The ISRO had before carried out a satellite mission for over two hours in January.
The primary goal of HysIS is to study the globe'southward surface in visible, virtually infrared and shortwave infrared regions of the electromagnetic spectrum. It will as well exist used for strategic purposes.
The co-passengers of HysIS include one micro and 29 nano satellites from eight different countries. All these satellites will be placed in a 504 km orbit. While 23 satellites are from the US, the rest are from Australia, Canada, Columbia, Finland, Malaysia, the netherlands and Spain.
These satellites have been commercially contracted for launch through Antrix Corporation Limited, the commercial arm of ISRO.
