#2 Looks like Israeli Spy Satellite is next...

The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) is busy preparing to launch an Israeli satellite called Polaris by a Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV) between September 17 and 20 from the spaceport at Sriharikota in Andhra Pradesh.

A core-alone PSLV without its six strap-on booster motors strung around its first stage will put the Polaris in orbit.

It is a remote-sensing satellite that weighs about 300 kg. It can take pictures of the earth through cloud and rain, day and night
