LD OCEANSAT 3 LST
Oceansat-2 was injected into space first and the remaining
were fired into the orbit one after another.
Wednesday's PSLV was a core alone version without six
strap on motors that surround the first stage in the standard
PSLV format.
PSLV's fourth stage fired five satellites into orbit and
the two Rubin satellites will remain permanently attached to
the vehicle's fourth stage, doing their work, ISRO officials
said.
Oceansat 2 was placed in polar sunsynchronous orbit of 720
km above earth, as in the case of its predecessor.
The eight band Ocean Colour Monitor carried by Oceansat-2
images a swath (strip of land or ocean) of 1,420 km with a
resolution of 360 metres and works in the visible and Near
infrared region of the electromagnetic spectrum.
The Scatterometer covers a swath of 1,400 km and operates
continuously. PTI VIJ
