The 3x Diamond "Technology Demonstration Model" NanoSats are scheduled to launch from India on April 27th approx, aboard flight C-38, (subject to delays/issues)
Launch Location - ISRO, Sriharikota Launching Range @ the Satish Dhawan Space Center (SDSC) in Andhra Pradesh.
This is where SAS Nano's will be loaded onto an Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) Rocket,
The rocket in question is a PSLV-XL (S-12) and pumps out 162,000 pounds of thrust, This will be the 40th mission for ISRO, and the 17th mission for the rocket in XL configuration (Each launch costs about $15 million to undertake)
The Three diamonds Nanosats (A satellite under 10kg is classed as a Nanosat) these are being made and assembled by GOMspace of Denmark, and will be underway to India now or may have already arrived?
These Nano satellites are the GomSpace 3U-Gomax-3's with a custom payload from SAS, the size of these units are only 300mm x 100mm x 100mm, and i think the weight in at about 6.5kg.
Anyway I hope this makes things a bit clearer, it's just a brief overview of what is going on, as far as i know......
DYOR - happy with any feedback...... "the future is here" Jack
