This mission will take three Singaporean satellites to Low Earth Orbit: 365 kg DS-EO, 155 kg NeuSAR, and 2.8 kg Scoob-1 .

DS-EO carries an Electro-Optic, multi-spectral payload that will provide full-color images for land classification. With an imaging capability of 0.5 m, it will serve Humanitarian Assistance and Disaster Relief needs. The satellite, operated by the Defense Science and Technology Agency of Singapore and ST Engineering, will be injected into orbit with a semi-major axis of 6948.137 + 20 km at an altitude of 570km measured from the equator.

NeuSAR, built by Starec Initiative, is Singapore's first small commercial satellite carrying a SAR payload, which is capable of providing images day and night, under all weather conditions.

SCOOB-I is the first satellite in the Student Satellite Series, a hands-on student training program from the Satellite Research Centre at Singapore's NTU School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering.

The Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle - Core Alone (PSLV-CA) is an expendable rocket built and operated by the ISRO.

Stats

Height: 44 m (144 ft)

Diameter: 2.8 m (9 ft 2 in)

Mass: 230,000 kg (510,000 lb)

Stages: 4

The rocket provides domestic launch services for India and is also available for other international missions.

The PSLV-CA costs approximately $18 million USD per mission -- making it quite attractive to companies looking for reliable and low-cost access to space.

Standing 44 m (144 feet) tall, the PSLV-CA is a 4 stage solid and liquid fueled rocket that flew for the first time on April 23, 2007.

The Second Launch Pad (SLP) at the Satish Dhawan Space Centre (SDSC) in Sriharikota, India, is one of ISRO’s primary launch complexes. Operational since 2005, it was developed to support the growing number of satellite launches and to reduce dependence on the older First Launch Pad. The SLP is a versatile and modular facility, capable of launching all of ISRO's current rockets, including the Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV), Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle (GSLV), and LVM3 (formerly GSLV Mk III).

Located on the eastern coast of India, the site allows for launches over the Bay of Bengal, ideal for a range of orbital inclinations. The SLP features a Mobile Service Tower (MST) and a Fixed Umbilical Tower (FUT) for vehicle integration, fueling, and payload access, enhancing launch preparation efficiency and safety. It has been used for major missions like Chandrayaan, Mars Orbiter Mission, and several NavIC satellites.
