If PSLV-C60/SpaDeX launches as scheduled from FLP, it will be the shortest period between two consecutive orbital launches for ISRO from same pad at 25.25 days after PSLV-C59/PROBA-3 launch on 5 December.
Previous shortest gap was 31.02 days between GSLV-F09/GSAT-9 and GSLV MkIII-D1/GSAT-19 from SLP.

“This year also a government official came to check farm fires and the farmers sort of surrounded him. Then he told us that ‘char bhaje ke baat satellite nahi chalta’ (the satellite doesn’t pass over the areas after 4 pm) and indicated us to burn after it,” the farmer said."

It will be stationed in 68E slot after orbit raising burns and it will take about two weeks. The confusion about satellite bus is due to ISRO's misleading information over past 7 years on this.. They kept saying it is I-3K based as recently as 2022 when it clearly was not and hid its configuration changes (like discarding EPS) from public.

Tape measure antennas are very common on cubesats. Put them on, fold them, secure with nylon thread cut it with heating nichrome wire. Simple and reliable!

"In other words, Trump did not gain any votes in 2024, but the Democratic Party lost close to 15 million votes. Not to Trump, not to Jill Stein or Cornel West, but to people who sat out the elections. These people knew how much was at stake but chose this option, rather than voting either Trump or Harris.
(…)
It is because Kamala shifted to the right as a campaign strategy that she lost to Trump."

"On October 31, 2024, one of the objects of space debris resulting from the explosive destruction of Intelsat, missed the American telecommunications satellite « SES-1» at a distance less than 50 meters (which is less than the forecast error built according to ground-based optical measurements).
🔭To date, this is the most dangerous detected event involving fragments of I-33e."

Just to nitpick slightly, the ISRO cost figures for these missions are essentially the cost of materials and consumables and not other expenses.
For example here is official Right To Informaion (RTI) reply on MOM, breaking down its allocated budget.
