- ISRO will launch an electronic intelligence satellite 'Emisat' for the Defence Research Development Organisation (DRDO).
- ISRO, for the first time, will also demonstrate its new technologies like launching three different satellites in three different orbits.
- Emisat is based on ISRO's Indian Mini Satellite -2 (IMS-2) bus platform. The satellite is intended for electromagnetic spectrum measurement.
- Emisat is dubbed as India’s “Spy in the Sky”.
PSLV-C45
- PSLV-C45 is a four-stage rocket where each stage uses different kind of fuel.
- Stage 1: Composite Solid
- Stage 2: Earth Storable Liquid
- Stage 3: Composite Solid
- Stage 4: Earth Storable Liquid
- This will be the first launch in PSLV C-45 history to use solar panels to make the fourth stage last longer in orbit.
- Using the solar panels in the fourth stage, the PSLV can provide power to attached payloads almost indefinitely.
- Stage four will keep the launch vehicle in orbit for about six months to carry out experiments.
- It will use microgravity to carry out the experiments and will carry a small payload built by the Indian Institute of Space Science and Technology (IIST), Trivandrum.
