Eight of those pint-sized satellites will be part of San Francisco-based Spire\u2019s low-Earth-orbit constellation for tracking maritime traffic and monitoring the weather. Seattle-based Spaceflight played a role in getting Spire\u2019s Lemur-2 satellites on the flight, and celebrated the successful liftoff from India\u2019s Satish Dhawan Space Center. \u201cCongrats on another great launch,\u201d the company told the Indian Space Research Organization in a tweet. Spaceflight has lined up more customers for future PSLV launches. One customer, Redmond, Wash.-based Planetary Resources, is aiming to have an Arkyd 6 imaging satellite put into orbit in October to test its asteroid-hunting strategy.<\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"PSLV-C38 launches Cartosat-2E\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/i6ggDHgWFOA?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen=\"\" data-ratio=\"0.5625\" data-width=\"800\" data-height=\"450\" style=\"display: block; margin: 0px; width: 800px; height: 450px;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SpaceX\u2019s Falcon 9 rocket wasn\u2019t the only launch vehicle that took to the air today: India\u2019s PSLV-C38 rocket sent an Earth-watching spacecraft called Cartosat-2E into a pole-to-pole orbit, along with 30 nanosatellites.
