'''PSLV-C28''' ([[Pseudonym|a.k.a.]] ''DMC3 mission'') was the 29th consecutive successful mission (overall 30th) of the [[PSLV]] program. The PSLV-C28 carried and successfully deployed 5 [[satellite]]s in the [[Sun-synchronous orbit]]. With a launch mass of {{convert|320000|kg|lbs}} and payload mass of payload mass {{convert|1440|kg|lbs}}, the C28 was the heaviest commercial mission undertaken by the [[Indian Space Research Organisation]] and [[Antrix Corporation]]. The PSLV-C28 carried three identical optical [[earth observation satellite]]s ([[UK-DMC 3|DMC3-1]], DMC3-2 & DMC3-3), an optical [[earth observation]] [[technology demonstration|technology demonstrator]] [[Miniaturized satellite|microsatellite]] (CBNT-1), and an experimental [[Nano Satellites|nanosatellite]] (De-orbitSail). All the satellites were built by [[Surrey Satellite Technology]] (SSTL). Although built by SSTL, the "De-orbitSail" belonged to the Surrey Space Centre.<ref name="PSLV-C28 / DMC3 Mission">{{cite news|title=PSLV-C28 / DMC3 Mission|publisher=[[ISRO]] website|accessdate=7 Jun 2016|url=http://www.isro.gov.in/launcher/pslv-c28-dmc3-mission}}</ref><ref name="Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle">{{cite news|title=Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle|publisher=[[Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre]] website|accessdate=7 Jun 2016|url=http://www.vssc.gov.in/VSSC_V4/index.php/launchers/launchers-pslv}}</ref><ref name="DMC 3-FM3">{{cite news|title=DMC 3-FM3|publisher=[[NASA]] website|accessdate=7 Jun 2016|url=https://nssdc.gsfc.nasa.gov/nmc/spacecraft/display.action?id=2015-032C}}</ref><ref name="Carbonite 1">{{cite news|title=Carbonite 1|publisher=[[NASA]] website|accessdate=7 Jun 2016|url=https://nssdc.gsfc.nasa.gov/nmc/spacecraft/display.action?id=2015-032D}}</ref><ref name="ISRO successfully Launches PSLV-C28 carrying 5 UK satellites">{{cite news|title=ISRO successfully Launches PSLV-C28 carrying 5 UK satellites|work=[[The Times of India]]|accessdate=7 Jun 2016|url=http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/Isro-successfully-launches-PSLV-C28-carrying-5-UK-satellites/articleshow/48023816.cms}}</ref><ref name="10 things you should know about PSLV-C28">{{cite news|title=10 things you should know about PSLV-C28|publisher=scoopwhoop.com|accessdate=7 Jun 2016|url=http://www.scoopwhoop.com/inothernews/isro-pslv-c28-satellite-launch/}}</ref><br />
