Nellore: While Singapore is helping Andhra Pradesh to build its capital, the Satish Dhawan Space Centre at Sriharikota is launching seven satellites for Singapore during its 50th Independence Day celebrations.“This will build the emotional bond between Singapore and Andhra Pradesh. Singapore is keen on entering space research in a big way with the help of India,” a senior Isro official said.
Meanwhile, the Isro is also launching three satellites for the UK-based DMC International Imaging International. DMCII is the company that manages the disaster monitoring constellation of the International Charter for Space and Major Disasters.
The PSLV-C28 would carry the three satellites weighing about 500 kg each by mid-2015. The ISRO is planning to launch the GSLV with GSAT-6 payload between July and August 2015.
