Craft celebrating the upcoming launch of the EOS-06 Mission on the PSLV-CA rocket by ISRO
Mission : EOS-6 (Oceansat-3) & BhutanSat
EOS-06, also named Oceansat-3A, is an Indian satellite designed to provide service continuity for operational users of the Ocean Colour Monitor (OCM) instrument on Oceansat-2. It will also enhance the potential of applications in other areas. The main objectives of OceanSat-#A are to study surface winds and ocean surface strata, observation of chlorophyll concentrations, monitoring of phytoplankton blooms, study of atmospheric aerosols and suspended sediments in the water.
BhutanSat is a Bhutanese SSO satellite.
(more information yet to be made public)
Where are the satellites going? :
Parking Orbit:
(> 600 X 600) km SSO (Sun-Synchronous Orbit)
at a 95º inclination
Drop-off Orbit:
700 x 700 SSO Orbit at a 95º inclination
A Sun-synchronous orbit (SSO), also called a heliosynchronous orbit, is a nearly polar orbit around a planet, in which the satellite passes over any given point of the planet's surface at the same local mean solar time.
Rocket: PSLV-CA
Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV) is the third generation launch vehicle of India. It is the first Indian launch vehicle to be equipped with liquid stages. After its first successful launch in October 1994, PSLV emerged as the reliable and versatile workhorse launch vehicle of India with 39 consecutively successful missions by June 2017. During 1994-2017 period, the vehicle has launched 48 Indian satellites and 209 satellites for customers from abroad.
Besides, the vehicle successfully launched two spacecraft – Chandrayaan-1 in 2008 and Mars Orbiter Spacecraft in 2013 – that later traveled to Moon and Mars respectively

Craft Notes:
- Auto-Launch to Orbit by Preprogrammed Vizzy. (Throttle 100%)
- Multiple Pad and Rocket Camera setups
- Preprogrammed Vizzy till > 600km Parking/Initial Orbit (95º inclination)
*Fairing Deploy to be done after 110 km AGL (manuallly)
*FInal orbit insertion (SSO ~ 700 x 700 km) and payload deploy to be done manually
Deploy Space-craft at a 15s delay from each other for stabilisation

It isn't working for me, is it because I am playing the old version 0.9.508.0?

@NotVedhaspace Thanks !! & will definitely give it a try.
Also what did u use in the comment for the faint horizontal line. Might come in very handy for the descriptions.
Please put in the code in a separate comment -

Very cool!
Also nice description
Then you can't make PSLV-3S because it's just a concept and it won't be launched
And it never did before -

@FILLAEROSPACE most probably
