Is set to launch a stage Wednesday for the polar satellite launch vehicle (PSLV) in Sriharikota, about 80 km from here. The missile will be the gateway three satellites, including the Indian Space Research Organisation in (ISRO) Resurs 2 -.
54.5-hour countdown, which began early Monday goes smoothly, in accordance with Council. Satish, ISRO director of publications and public relations.
Phase will be completed fueling the missile, the second Tuesday, at around 10 pm
And PSLV – Rs.90 crore and standing 44 meters and weighs 295 tons, a four-stage (engine) rocket with the support of solid and liquid propellants instead.
And launched the first and third stages by a solid propellant while the second and fourth phases need liquid fuel.
According to ISRO officials, is set to launch PSLV Wednesday 10:12
The rocket will carry the load of 1404 kg.
This consists of three satellites –1,206 KG Resurs – 2.92 kg Russian-Indian Joint Youthsat small satellites of the studies is excellent and the atmosphere, and small satellites KG 106 X Sabbath to the imaging applications, and built by Nanyang Singapore-based University of Technology.
And Rs.140 crore was originally scheduled Resurs SAT 2 launch in January of this year, but got postponed to February to April in and later.
Apart from carrying three cameras sophisticated, the remote sensing Resurs – 2 satellite carries the automatic information system (AIS) of COMDEV in Canada to monitor ships in the band VHF to extract the position, speed and other information from ships.
“With the launch of Resurs – 2, and will be 10 ISRO remote sensing satellites in orbit – Oceansat – 2 Resurs 1, TES, Cartosat 1, 2, 2A and 2B, the International Monitoring System – 1, RISAT – 2,”, said Satish.
Remote sensing satellites send back images and other data for use. India has the largest constellation of remote sensing satellites in the world to provide images in a variety of spatial resolutions, one of the best of m ranging up to 500 meters, and is considered to be a major player in the sale of such data in the global market.
The data is used for multiple applications covering agriculture, water resources and urban development, mineral exploration, environment, forestry, drought and flood forecasting, and ocean resources and disaster management.
According to ISRO officials, the other remote sensing satellites scheduled for launch this year in the tropics megabytes, satellite radar images Saral – 1 (RISAT – 1).
