“We are in discourses with numerous satellite producers over the world for the [already established] PSLV and now the GSLV. There is a decent reaction to the GSLV,” said V.S. Hegde, Antrix Corporation’s executive and overseeing chief in a workshop yesterday.

There lack of dispatches in 1,000-1,500 little to medium-sized satellites portion and space organizations will dispatch satellites in this section in coming two-three years, for that reason they will utilize GSLV, said Hedge. In spite of the fact that, there is appeal for GSLV in the worldwide market yet ISRO will concentrate on satisfying national requests in the first place, then just it will turn towards different nations.

Of six satellite, one is a 500 kg earth perception rocket that will be propelled in December. “The 500 kg devoted satellite (TeLOS-1) will be a business dispatch for Singapore Technologies Electronics Ltd while five other littler satellites are from Singapore Universities,” said Hedge.

To guarantee that these satellites work round the clock and transmit continuous signs, every one of the six satellites will be put in a sun-synchronous polar circle 550 km over the earth. As per auxiliary organization Satcom and Sensor Pte LTD, these satellites will be utilized for a few purposes including screen environment, debacle administration, security purposes, sea wellbeing, and so on.
