On July 30, the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) successfully launched the PSLV-C56 rocket carrying seven Singapore satellites from the Satish Dhawan Space Center, Sriharikota, off the Bay of Bengal.
In a statement on Twitter, ISRO confirmed that it had successfully completed the mission and the PSLV-C56 rocket accurately delivered all seven satellites into the intended orbit.
ISRO said the satellites separated from the rocket 23 minutes after take-off and entered the “predetermined orbit” after a distance of 535km.
According to ISRO chief S Somanath, the PSLV-C56 rocket carries seven satellites, including the main satellite DS-SAR and six companion satellites. DS-SAR is the main satellite in the constellation launched this time, with the mission of observing the Earth.
DS-SAR is a joint product of the Defence Science and Technology Agency (on behalf of the Singapore Government) and ST Engineering Technology Group in Singapore.
Equipped with synthetic aperture radar (SAR), DS-SAR satellites provide coverage day and night in all weather conditions.
