ISRO's PSLV-XL will loft TDS-01, a geostationary technology-demonstration satellite, toward GTO from Satish Dhawan's First Launch Pad. The spacecraft will prove about 35 new systems, led by an indigenous 300 mN electric thruster for orbit raising, plus atomic clocks, travelling-wave-tube amplifiers, and a quantum-key-distribution payload (QuTDS).
