PSLV-C47 was a mission of the Indian
The mission's main payload was Cartosat-3, a mapping satellite. Cartosat-3 was injected into an orbit of 509 km at an inclination of 97.5-degree to the equator, 17 minutes and 38 seconds after lift-off.
Launch
The mission is the 74th mission from
The mission had Vikram 1601 processor, for first time, as navigation computer of launch vehicle. It was made by Semi-Conductor Laboratory.[2] after being test flown in redundant configuration[3] on PSLV C46 mission.[4][5][6]
Payloads
Cartosat-3 shared the ride with 13 commercial 3U CubeSats including twelve SuperDoves (Flock-4p)[7] by Planet Labs and one Meshbed by Analytical Space of United States were also put in orbit using the same launch vehicle.[8][9] Commercial ride-share was arranged by NewSpace India Limited, Spaceflight Industries and ISILaunch.[10][11]
