<p>"All three satellites were placed in the targeted orbits with high precision," the Indian Space Research Organisation said in a statement here.<br /><br />In its 17th consecutive successful flight, PSLV-C16 injected Resourcesat-2, Youthsat and X-sat (of Nanyang Technical University, Singapore) into polar sun synchronus orbit on Wednesday last.<br /><br />With the precise injection of Resourcesat-2, about 20 kg of fuel allocated for the probable dispersions in injection was saved which would help enhance the five year operational life of the satellite, it said.<br /><br />Immediately after injection of Resourcesat 2, its two solar panels were deployed and three Imaging Cameras oriented towards Earth, it said.<br /><br />Orbital trimming manoeuvre was conducted successfully on April 22 and Resourcesat-2 is now placed in the final orbital configuration in a sun-synchronous polar orbit.<br /><br />Operation of the Imaging cameras is scheduled to commence on April 28, the statement said.<br /><br />The first imaging pass on April 28 is expected to cover about 3000 km stretch of Indian land mass from Joshimut in Uttarakhand to Kannur in Kerala.<br /><br />The statement said the health of Youthsat is normal. Control and command operations for Resourcesat-2 and Youthsat satellites are being carried out from ISRO’s Telemetry Tracking and Command Network Centre (ISTRAC) at Bangalore, connected to a network of ground stations at Lucknow, Mauritius, Biak (Indonesia), Svalbard (North Pole) and Troll (South Pole).<br /><br />The Earth Station of National Remote Sensing Centre at Shadnagar (near Hyderabad) has been geared up for Resourcesat-2 data reception on April 28.<br /><br />Payload data from Youthsat is being processed at the Indian Space Science Data Centre at Bylalu, (near Bangalore).<br /><br />A report by Nanyang Technological University, Singapore stated that the health of X Sat and performance of various on-board sub-systems are normal.<br /><br /><br /></p>
