TeLEOS-2 (Synthetic Aperture Radar Satellite) Lumelite-4 (Technology Demonstration Nano-Satellite) On April 22, from Sriharikota spaceport at 14:19 hours IST

ISRO' Singapore Satellites launch

Third major launch of The Indian Space Research Organisation And a commercial mission through NewSpace India Ltd (NSIL)

Why these Satellites are called the Singapore Satellites?
