Here is a link showing the launch date as 15th April – together with the total payload of other satellites.

Here is another site that lists us as being 15^th April. http://spaceflight101.com/calendar/

On this site - if you scroll down to our flight number (PSLV C38) you’ll see it is scheduled for June. We appear to be one of 9x customers other satellites launched from the “First” launch pad on this mission.

This site (Gunters Space Page) shows the shows the PSLV C38 being “XL” format. It names 17 x different satellites in the payload – no date other than some time in April.

PSLV-XL is the uprated version of Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle in its standard configuration boosted by more powerful, stretched strap-on boosters. Weighing 320 tonnes at lift-off, the vehicle uses larger strap-on motors (PSOM-XL) to achieve higher payload capability. PSOM-XL uses larger 1-metre diameter, 13.5m length motors, and carries 12 tonnes of solid propellants instead of 9 tonnes used in the earlier configuration of PSL.

NOTE - Mission success rate for the PSLV-XL is 100% - i.e. 17 out of 17 missions.

Looks like we could now be less than a month away from launch if April 15th is the correct date.

Thanks for the post. Wiki timeline of June launch seems to more up to date as the information is validated before they are uploaded in the wiki site per my understanding. April I think was the original planned timeline. Wiki also has mention of our three diamonds. Let's see how does it go.
