Mission PSLV-C43 will be launched from the first launch pad of the Satish Dhawan Space Center, the 34th of its kind, from 9:30 am on November 29th. (Image Source: ISRO) [19659004] The Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) will launch mission PSLV-C43 / HysIS of the Satish Dhawan Space Center in Sriharikota early in the day of 29 November. This mission, the sixth this year to use a vehicle polar satellite launch (PSLV), will see the launch of HysIS – India's Earth Observation satellite. The satellite will be accompanied by 29 other satellites developed by various nations, including 23 from the United States.
More details about the mission, as well as the latest Indian satellite for terrestrial imagery.
Launch Schedule, Orbit and Payload
On November 29, at 0958, the satellite will be launched from the Satish Dhawan Space Center. The PSLV launcher, with a total length of 39.4 m, consists of a four-stage rocket, alternating solid and liquid stages. . The PSLV-C43 is a standalone version of the launcher and the lightest in operation. This launch, if successful, will be the 13th successful launch of this PSLV model.
The PSLV-C43 payload consists of the HysIS satellite, a micro-satellite and 29 nano-satellites. The total weight of the satellites is 641.5 kg. While the 30 foreign satellites will be launched at an altitude of 504 km from the surface of the Earth, the ISRO HysIS satellite will be launched at an altitude of 636 km. The satellite will be placed in a synchronous polar orbit, which will set it in motion along the axis that runs along the geographical geographic poles of the North and the South.

ISRO PSLV-C43 mission: HysIS satellite instruments, objectives
HysIS is an abbreviation of Hyper Spectral Imaging Satellite. The objective of the probe is to provide observations in the visible, infrared and short infrared bands of the electromagnetic spectrum. spectrum. In other words, the imaging tools will help the HysIS satellite to monitor atmospheric activity and climate change, while facilitating the study of the Earth's magnetic field. These observations will have many applications, among which the main ones concern agriculture, forestry, water management and coastal patterns.

(Image Source: ISRO) Built around the ISRO Mini Satellite-2 bus (IMS-2), HysIS measures 2.158 mx 1.386 mx 1.121 m and weighs nearly 380 kg. The satellite payload also includes a 730W backup power supply and a 64Ah Li-ion battery. HysIS will be launched at an altitude of 636 km from the surface of the Earth and the probe will be placed in a synchronous solar orbit, where it will be in the same position as the Sun and will maintain its revolutions with that of the Earth. . He will continue to make observations until the end of the mission until 2023.
After this launch, the next big event of the Indian space organization will be its mission expected on the Moon – Chandrayaan-2 – early 2019.
