PSLV to Lift 31 Satellites
India’s Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle is set for liftoff from the Satish Dhawan Space Center on Friday at 3:58 UTC on its return to flight mission, coming back after an August 2017 failure to open up India's 2018 campaign by lifting a total of 31 satellites. The PSLV C40 mission is carrying India's Cartosat-2F imaging satellite as primary payload, two Indian micro/nano satellites and 28 international rideshare payloads of different shapes and sizes, flying on PSLV under a commercial arrangement.
