PSLV-C28 (a.k.a.DMC3 mission) was the 29th consecutive successful mission (overall 30th) of thePSLV program. The PSLV-C28 carried and successfully deployed 5satellites in theSun-synchronous orbit. With a launch mass of 320,000 kilograms (710,000 lb) and payload mass of payload mass 1,440 kilograms (3,170 lb), the C28 was the heaviest commercial mission undertaken by theIndian Space Research Organisation andAntrix Corporation. The PSLV-C28 carried three identical opticalEarth observation satellites (DMC3-1, DMC3-2 & DMC3-3), an opticalEarth observationtechnology demonstratormicrosatellite (CBNT-1), and an experimentalnanosatellite (De-orbitSail). All the satellites were built bySurrey Satellite Technology (SSTL). Although built by SSTL, the "De-orbitSail" belonged to the Surrey Space Centre.^{[1][2][3][4][5][6]}
