Thanks for posting this...I'm happy that they had a PSLV success after several problems. I assume this is their last Russian upper stage, and not the indigenous one that they are developing. Things are a little tight for them with their upper stage inventory...

Good to see another successful launch by ISRO yesterday. Youthsat and two others went into a 800km orbit.

YouthSat is a 92 kg satellite, developed by students of Russian and Indian universities to study the relationship between solar variability and thermosphere-lonosphere changes. The satellite has a two-year life will carry two Indian and one Russian payloads.

I've not seen any mention of frequencies in relation to Youthsat, anyone know which part of the spectrum it's operating in?
