Description
The PSLV-CA, CA meaning "Core Alone", model premiered on 23 April 2007. The CA model does not include the six strap-on boosters used by the PSLV standard variant. The fourth stage of the CA variant has 400 kg less propellant when compared to its standard version. It currently has capability to launch 1,100 kg to a 622 km Sun synchronous orbit.

Mission:
HysIS (Hyperspectral Imaging Spectrometer) is a small Indian earth observation satellite developed by ISRO. The primary goal of HysIS is to study the earth’s surface in visible, near infrared and shortwave infrared regions of the electromagnetic spectrum. It is launched along with 30 small satellites and cubesats for international companies.

Mission:
The NovaSAR-S spacecraft carries a radar imaging instrument, and the mission was developed in partnership between the British government and the British satellite manufacturer SSTL. The SSTL-S1 satellite, also built by SSTL, is a high-resolution optical Earth observation satellite identical to three DMC3/TripleSat reconnaissance craft launched in 2015. Beijing-based 21AT will lease imaging capacity on the SSTL-S1 satellite. There are also several secondary payloads.

Mission:
At an altitude of 550km and an inclination of 10-15 degrees, TeLEOS 1 will be Singapore’s first commercial near equatorial orbit satellite. The craft was built by ST Electronics and can image the earth at 1 metre resolutions every 12-16 hours. The satellite weighs 400kg, is powered by 4 solar arrays and has a planned lifetime of 5 years.
