Additionally, there are 13 commercial nanosatellites from the United States that are being carried as part of the commercial arrangement with NewSpace India Ltd (NSIL), Department of Space.  Among the 13 nano-satellites, there are 12 FLOCK-4P satellites with a mission objective of earth observation, and one satellite named MESHBED, whose mission objective is a communication testbed.

The launch of the CartoSAT-3 aboard PSLV-C47 will take place at the second launch pad of Satish Dhawan Space Centre, Sriharikota, Andhra Pradesh.

This will be the 74th launch of a mission from SHAR.

How long will the CartoSAT-3 launch last? 

The PSLV-C476/CartoSAT-3 mission will last a little under 27 minutes, with India's indigenous satellite being released 17 minutes after the launch. The US nanosatellites will be released in two batches.

Where can I watch CartoSAT-3 launch live?

ISRO has made provisions for public viewing with a capacity to hold 5,000 people but registrations have now closed.

However, you can watch it online via the live launch that will start before the launch on the agency's website and YouTube channel.
