PSLV-C28 PSLV-C28 (a.k.a. "DMC3 mission") was the 29th consecutive successful mission (overall 30th) of the PSLV program. The PSLV-C28 carried and successfully deployed 5 satellites in the Sun-synchronous orbit. With a launch mass of 320000 kg and payload mass of payload mass 1440 kg , the C28 was the heaviest commercial mission undertaken by Indian Space Research Organisation and Antrix Corporation. The PSLV-C28 carried three identical optical earth observation satellites (DMC3-1, DMC3-2 & DMC3-3), an optical earth observation technology demonstrator micro satellite (CBNT-1) and an experimental nano satellite (De-orbitSail). All the satellites were built by Surrey Satellite Technology (SSTL). Although built by SSTL, the "De-orbitSail" belonged to the Surrey Space Centre.<ref name="PSLV-C28 / DMC3 Mission"> </ref>

Institute of Physics, Bhubaneswar Institute of Physics, Bhubaneswar(Odia: )is an autonomous research institution of the Department of Atomic Energy (DAE), Government of India. The Institute is entirely the brainchild of legendary and visionary academic and administrator, Late Professor Bidhu Bhusan Das, who was Director of Public Instruction, Odisha, at that time. Prof. Das had dreamed of a world class institute devoted to physics in Odisha owing to his cognizance of the large number of outstanding professors and scholars of physics from Odisha. Prof. Das set it up in 1972, supported by the Government of Odisha under the patronage of late Shri Banamali Patnaik, who was Odisha's education minister at that time, and it was Prof. Das who chose Dr. Trilochan Pradhan as its first director, when the Institute started theoretical research programs in the various branches of physics. Prof. Das tapped the talent and expertise - among others - of two internationally renowned physicists in the Institute's early days: Prof. T. P. Das, of SUNY, Albany, New York, USA and Prof. Jagdish Mohanty of IIT Kanpur and Australian National University, Canberra. In 1981 the Institute moved to its present campus near Chandrasekharpur, Bhubaneswar. The Institute was taken over by the DAE on March 25, 1985 and started functioning as an autonomous body.

PSLV-C5 PSLV-C5 was the fifth operational launch and overall eighth mission of the Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle program. This launch was also the fifty-second launch by the Indian Space Research Organisation (IRSO) since its first mission on 1 January 1962. The vehicle carried and injected India's remote sensing satellite Resourcesat-1 (also known as IRS-P6) into a sun-synchronous orbit; this was the heaviest and most sophisticated satellite built by IRSO through 2003. PSLV-C5 was launched at 04:52 hours Coordinated Universal Time (10:22 hours Indian Standard Time) on 17 October 2003 from Satish Dhawan Space Centre.

PSLV-C37 PSLV-C37 (also known as Cartosat-2 series satellite) was the 39th mission of the Indian Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV) program and its 16th mission in the XL configuration. PSLV-C37 successfully carried and deployed a record 104 satellites in sun-synchronous orbits. Launched on 15 February 2017 by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre at Sriharikota, Andhra Pradesh, it broke the earlier record of launching 37 satellites by a Russian Dnepr rocket on 19 June 2014. The cost of the launch was US$15 million. According to ISRO, the 101 international satellites were launched as part of a commercial arrangement between several countries and its commercial arm Antrix Corporation Limited, run under the auspices of the Indian Government's Department of Space.

Chandra X-ray Observatory The Chandra X-ray Observatory (CXO), previously known as the Advanced X-ray Astrophysics Facility (AXAF), is a Flagship-class space observatory launched on STS-93 by NASA on July 23, 1999. Chandra is sensitive to X-ray sources 100 times fainter than any previous X-ray telescope, enabled by the high angular resolution of its mirrors. Since the Earth's atmosphere absorbs the vast majority of X-rays, they are not detectable from Earth-based telescopes; therefore space-based telescopes are required to make these observations. Chandra is an Earth satellite in a 64-hour orbit, and its mission is ongoing as of 2017 .

PSLV-C1 PSLV-C1 was the overall fourth mission of the PSLV program by Indian Space Research Organisation. The vehicle carried IRS-1D satellite which was deployed in the Sun-synchronous Low Earth orbit. This was India's first launch vehicle built without Russian assistance and PSLV's first operational flight placed IRS-1D into a polar orbit. However, it could not place the satellite in the desired circular orbit but in an elliptical orbit due to a leak of helium gas from one of the components. The mission was termed partial failure since the satellite could not be placed at the desired altitude.
