'''PSLV-C40''' was the 42nd mission of the Indian [[Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle]] (PSLV) program in the [[PSLV-XL|XL]] configuration. PSLV-C40 successfully carried and deployed 31 [[satellite]]s in [[sun-synchronous orbit]]s.<ref name="is1">{{cite web|title=PSLV-C40/Cartosat-2 Series Satellite Mission - ISRO|url=https://www.isro.gov.in/launcher/pslv-c40-cartosat-2-series-satellite-mission|website=www.isro.gov.in|publisher=ISRO|access-date=12 January 2018|language=en}}</ref><br />

==Overview==<br />
Two [[Surrey Satellite Technology]] satellites were launched, the 100&nbsp;kg [[Carbonite-2]] Earth Observation technology demonstrator and the 168&nbsp;kg [[Telesat]] LEO Phase 1 communications satellite.<ref name=sstl-20180112>{{cite web |url=https://www.sstl.co.uk/Press/SSTL-confirms-the-successful-launch-of-CARBONITE-2 |title=SSTL confirms the successful launch of CARBONITE-2 and Telesat LEO Phase 1 satellite |publisher=Surrey Satellite Technology Limited |date=12 January 2018 |access-date=2 March 2018}}</ref><ref name=pixalytics-20180103>{{cite web |url=https://www.pixalytics.com/tag/what-is-carbonite-2/ |title=Earth Observation's Flying Start to 2018 |publisher=Pixalytics |date=3 January 2018 |access-date=6 March 2018}}</ref><br />

Four [[SpaceBEE]] sub-[[CubeSat]]s were launched to test "2-way satellite communications and data relay", probably for the Silicon Valley company [[Swarm Technologies]]. However the U.S. [[Federal Communications Commission]] (FCC) had denied regulatory approval for Swarm Technologies 10&nbsp;cm × 10&nbsp;cm × 2.8&nbsp;cm BEE satellites as they were too small to be reliably tracked by the [[United States Space Surveillance Network]], so may become an impact hazard to other satellites. If confirmed the FCC may take regulatory action over these satellites.<ref name=spectrum-20180309>{{cite news |url=https://spectrum.ieee.org/tech-talk/aerospace/satellites/fcc-accuses-stealthy-startup-of-launching-rogue-satellites |title=FCC Accuses Stealthy Startup of Launching Rogue Satellites |last=Harris |first=Mark |newspaper=IEEE Spectrum |date=9 March 2018 |access-date=10 March 2018}}</ref><ref name=cnbc-20180309>{{cite news |url=https://www.cnbc.com/2018/03/09/swarm-technologies-slammed-by-fcc-for-unauthorized-satellite-launch.html |title=Former Google engineer's start-up slammed by FCC for unauthorized satellite launch |last=Sheetz |first=Michael |publisher=CNBC News |date=9 March 2018 |access-date=18 March 2018}}</ref><br />
