The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) has slated its first launch of the year — ocean study spacecraft SARAL — for February 14.
It will herald the 8 to 10 missions, including satellites and launch vehicles, which ISRO has planned this year,
Flights of the GSLV rocketwould be resumed and thefirst of the navigational spacecraft would be sent up, an ISRO official told The Hindu .
Along with the 450-kg Indo-French SARAL, the Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV) will put intoorbit six small experimental satellites built by western universities for more http://thehindu.com/sci-tech/science/isro-lines-up-saral-for-february-restored-gslv-for-april/article4317062.ece/?maneref=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com%2Fsearch%3Fq%3DISRO%26hl%3Den%26ie%3DUTF-8%26prmd%3Divns%26source%3Dlnms%26tbm%3Dnws%26sa%3DX%26ei%3D4GD5UO68E431iQKtkIHQDQ%26ved%3D0CAoQ_AUoAw
 
But i cant understand this GSAT-7, a dedicated satellite for the Navy, is also set to be launched around May on a European Ariane rocket. Two other larger satellites, INSAT-3D and GSAT-10, will also use ‘procured’ or foreign launches on separate Ariane vehicles in the second half of this year.
