First Up for 2019: PSLV Launch of 20 Next-Generation Doves
Our first launch of 2019 is here! 20 next-generation Dove satellites - Flock 4a - are scheduled to launch on ISRO’s PSLV-C45 rocket on April 1, 2019 IST (March 31 Pacific). All 20 Dove-series satellites will ride as secondary payloads and will be sent to a Sun Synchronous Orbit (SSO) with a mid-morning crossing time. Flock 4a will join our current constellation of 100+ Doves, replenishing our on-orbit fleet and furthering our daily global monitoring mission. However, these Dove satellites aren’t solely for replenishment. They’re equipped with the latest technology - upgrades to our imaging chain to improve image sharpness, radiometric consistency, and spectral precision - and push the boundaries of what our on-orbit Doves are capable of. This marks our first launch of 2019, and our 22nd launch of Dove satellites since our founding. As always, our manufacturing team did a stellar job getting all 20 satellites built and delivered on time, flexing the muscle of our state-of-the-art manufacturing lab to ensure we never miss a delivery date.
