ЦитироватьLive coverage: Two British satellites set for launch from India

An Indian rocket is set to lift off with two British-built Earth-imaging satellites Sunday -- one developed with the financial backing of the UK government to demonstrate radar reconnaissance technology, and another destined for use by a commercial imaging company in Asia.

The spacecraft are se t for launch at 1638 GMT (12:38 p.m. EDT) Sunday aboard a Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle from the Satish Dhawan Space Center on India's east coast, according to the Indian Space Research Organization.

One of the satellites, named NovaSAR 1, is the product of a public-private partnership between the British government, satellite-builder SSTL, and Airbus Defense and Space, which supplied the mission's radar imaging payload.

NovaSAR 1's S-band radar, supported by solid-state power amplifiers, is the centerpiece of the tech demo mission, which aims to validate a radar imager lighter and more compact than those flown on most previous radar reconnaissance satellites.

Radar imagers in space can see through clouds, and are sensitive even in darkness, providing an all-weather, day-and-night surveillance capability.

The British government will be a primary user of NovaSAR 1 data, and Australian and Indian governments have agreements to access the satellite's imagery.

NovaSAR 1 carries a radio beacon receiver to help identify ships observed by the satellite's radar. The satellite will also assist in monitoring floods, crops and oil spills.

The SSTL S1-4 observation satellite, fitted with an optical camera and telescope, will accompany NovaSAR 1 into orbit atop the Indian PSLV. It was also built in Guildford, England, by SSTL, which will supply high-resolution imagery from the new satellite to 21AT, a company founded in China and now based in Singapore.

21AT currently uses images from a constellation of three DMC3 Earth-observing satellites launched in 2015. The new spacecraft launching Sunday is identical to the previous three, according to SSTL.

Both satellites are no bigger than a sports car, and each weigh less than 1,000 pounds (450 kilograms) at launch.

The PSLV mission Sunday is designated PSLV-C42, and it will be the 44th flight of a Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle, and the fourth Indian launch of this year.

The four-stage rocket will initially fly to the east from the Indian launch site on the coast of the Bay of Bengal, then turn south, following a track to ensure it does not overfly Sri Lanka for safety reasons.

The PSLV launching Sunday will fly in the "core alone" variant without any solid rocket boosters, the lightest version of India's workhouse launcher, which typically carries six strap-on solid motors.

The 145-foot-tall (44.4-meter) PSLV will carry the NovaSAR 1 and SSTL S1-4 satellites into a polar orbit 362 miles (583 kilometers) above Earth, according to flight data released by ISRO.

Deployment of the two satellites from the PSLV's fourth stage is expected at T+plus 17 minutes, 44 seconds.
