With this, ISRO is all set to take over the space race once again. The mission’s main payload would be Cartosat-2 series earth observation satellite.

It will be the first PSLV mission after the unsuccessful launch of navigation satellite IRNSS-1H in August this year.
ISRO Chairman Kiran Kumar said, “We are planning our next launch in the second half of December, all things are in place… It will be a satellite of Cartosat-2 series along with other co-passengers.”
