The Indian Space Research Organisation on Thursday completed launch rehearsal of the PSLV-C51 mission slated for February 28. India s Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV-C51) is scheduled to launch Brazil s Amazonia-1 as primary satellite and 18 co-passenger satellites from first launch pad of Satish Dhawan Space Centre, SHAR, Sriharkota, about 100 km from Chennai, at 10.24 am on Sunday. The Bengaluru-headquartered space agency had announced on February 5 that there would be 20 co-passenger satellites. Prime Minister Narendra Modi s engraved picture on a co-passenger satellite and sending Bhagavad Gita on-board in electronic format are some of the notable aspects in the launch. Indian Space start-up Pixxel announced two days ago that due to certain software issues its first satellite Anand would no longer be part of the payload on board the PSLV-C51 rocket.

New Delhi, Feb 25 : As the stage is almost set for selective rollout of 5G (fifth generation) mobile network technology in India by 2021-end, the Telecom Ministry is facing insufficiency of spectrum with the defence and space sectors seeking nearly half of the spectrum.
Of the 300 megahertz which are available, 25 megahertz are required for certain satellite uses by Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) and 100 megahertz is wanted by the defence sector.
If these 125 megahertz are deducted from the available spectrum, only 175 megahertz will be available with the Department of Telecommunications (DoT), under the Telecom Ministry, to divide it among three present operators.
ANI - The 18 co-passenger satellites include four from IN-SPACe (three UNITYsats from the consortium of three Indian academic institutes and One Satish Dhawan Sat from Space Kidz India) and 14 from NSIL., , isro, Amazonia-1, 18 Co-passenger satellites, PSLV-C51, Sriharikota Range, satish dhawan space centre, Nellore, andhra pradesh
