Chennai: India's space agency ISRO is all set to launch 2 soon. According to the Portal of Satish Dhawan Space Centre, GSLV is scheduled to be launched in August and PSLV in September, though the dates are yet to be announced. GSLV rocket will carry earth observation satellite GISAT-1, which is to be placed in the geostationary orbit, 36,000 km from the ground.

In addition, works like farming, forests, minerals, warning for disasters will also be included.
