The PSLV Orbital Experimental Module (POEM), which is a part of the PSLV-C55 mission.
Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO), which is scheduled to launch the Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle C55 (PSLV-C55) mission on April 22 with Singapore’s TeLEOS-2 as major satellite tv for pc and Lumelite-4 as a co-passenger satellite tv for pc, will will perform in-orbit scientific experiments by utilizing the spent PS4 (fourth and closing stage of PSLV) as an orbital platform.
The PSLV-C55 mission has the PSLV Orbital Experimental Module (POEM), the place the spent PS4 of the launch automobile could be utilised as an orbital platform to hold out scientific experiments via non-separating payloads.
This is the third time that PS4 will be used after satellite tv for pc separation as a platform for experiments.
According to the area company, POEM has seven experimental non-separable payloads
- PiLOT (PSLV In orbitaL Obc and Thermals), a OBC package deal from Indian Institute of Space and Technology (IIST)
- ARIS-2 (Advanced Retarding Potential analyser for Ionospheric Studies) experiment from IIST
- HET-based ARKA200 Electric Propulsion System from Bellatrix
- DSOD-3U and DSOD-6U deployer items together with DSOL-Transceiver in S- & X- bands from Dhruva Space
- Starberry Sense Payload from Indian Institute of Astrophysics
The PSLV-C55 mission is a devoted business mission via NSIL. TeLEOS-2 and Lumelite-4 satellites are supposed to be launched into an eastward low inclination orbit.
ISRO stated that the TeLEOS-2 satellite tv for pc is developed below a partnership between DSTA (representing the federal government of Singapore) and ST Engineering. Once deployed and operational, it will be used to assist the satellite tv for pc imagery necessities of assorted businesses inside the authorities of Singapore. TeLEOS-2 carries a Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) payload. TeLEOS-2 will be capable of present all-weather day and night time protection, and be able to imaging at 1m full-polarimetric decision.
Lumelite-4 satellite tv for pc is co-developed by the Institute for Infocomm Research (I²R) of A*STAR and by the Satellite Technology and Research Centre (STAR) of the National University of Singapore. Lumelite-4 is a complicated 12U satellite tv for pc developed for the technological demonstration of the high-performance space-borne VHF Data Exchange System (VDES). Using the VDES communication payload developed by I²R and STAR’s scalable satellite tv for pc bus platform, Lumelite-4 goals to enhance Singapore’s e-navigation maritime security and profit the worldwide transport group.
