The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) is gearing up for its next big mission to launch a customer satellite in an orbit around the planet. The TeLEOS-2 mission will launch onboard ISRO's workhorse Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV) on its 55th mission to date.
The ISRO is set to launch the TeLEOS-2 satellite on April 22, from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota.
TeLEOS-2 satellite is a Singaporean Earth Observation Satellite, which has been designed to capture round-the-clock, all-weather satellite imagery.
The 750-kilogram satellite, developed by ST Engineering, will provide imagery that could be used for hotspot monitoring and haze management, air crash search and rescue operations, and much more.
The XL variant of PSLV, which will be used during the C-55 mission, has 6 solid rocket strap-on motors to augment the thrust.
The rocket is capable of launching 1,750 kg of payload to Sun-Synchronous Polar Orbits at 600 km altitude and 1,425 kg into Geosynchronous and Geostationary orbits.
The Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV) is the first Indian launch vehicle with liquid stages. The PSLV is called the 'the Workhorse of ISRO' as it has consistently delivered various satellites to Low Earth Orbits.
