On November 26, the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) will launch Oceansat-3 and eight nano satellites.

ISRO Nano Satellite-2 for Bhutan (INS-2B), Anand, Astrocast (four satellites), and two Thybolt satellites are among the eight nano satellites. On November 26, the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) will launch Earth Observation Satellite - 06 (EOS-06) and eight nano satellites.

The Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV-C54) will launch the satellites from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota at 11.56 a.m., according to the space agency. The Oceansat EOS-6 is a third-generation satellite in the Oceansat series. ISRO is launching this satellite to continue the services of the Oceansat-2 spacecraft with improved payload specifications and application areas. ISRO Nano Satellite-2 for Bhutan (INS-2B), Anand, Astrocast (four satellites), and two Thybolt satellites are among the eight nano satellites. The NanoMx and APRS-Digipeater payloads will be carried by the INS-2B spacecraft. While the NanoMx payload was developed by the Space Applications Centre in Ahmedabad, the APRS-Digipeater payload was developed in collaboration with the Department of Information Technology and Telecom-Bhutan and the UR Rao Satellite Centre in Bengaluru.

The Pixxel-developed Anand nano satellite is a technology demonstrator for demonstrating the capabilities and commercial applications of miniaturised Earth-observation cameras for Earth observation using a microsatellite in Low Earth Orbit. Astrocast is a 3U spacecraft developed by Dhruva Space in Hyderabad. It is a satellite technology demonstrator for the Internet of Things.

Thybolt, a 0.5U spacecraft bus with a communication payload developed by Spaceflight in the United States, enables rapid technology demonstration and constellation development for multiple users. The PSLV-C54 will launch EOS-06 and eight nano satellites into two different Sun-synchronous polar orbits, according to ISRO.

"In Orbit-1, the primary satellite (EOS-06) will be separated. Following that, an orbit change was planned using two orbit change thrusters installed in the PSLV-C54's propulsion bay ring. "In Orbit-2, the passenger payloads will be separated," ISRO said.
