ISRO To Launch PSLV-C54: Scientific Report

The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) is set to launch the PSLV-C54/EOS-06 mission on November 26, 2022, with Oceansat-3 and eight nanosats, including one from Bhutan, on board the Sriharikota spaceport.

The Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV) was launched in 1993 to allow India to launch its Indian Remote Sensing (IRS) satellites into sun-synchronous orbits.

The PSLV has been used for India’s first interplanetary mission, the Mars Orbiter Mission, and India’s first space observatory.

The parent organization, ISRO, plans to hand over the production and operation of the vehicles to private industry through a joint venture.

Hindustan Aeronautics Limited and Larsen & Toubro signed a contract with ISRO on September 5, 2022, to produce five PSLV-XL launch vehicles.

As of July 1, 2022, the PSLV has made 55 launches, with 52 successfully reaching their planned orbits, two outright failures, and one partial failure, yielding a success rate of 94%.
