Excuse the ignorance, but how long does the POEM module stay up in space and functioning? Is the POEM that was on the PSLV launched last June( PSLV C-53) still operational? Would the payloads be transmitting info at this date?
This info came from Reddit:
PSLV Orbital Experimental Module-2 (POEM-2):

Passivized fourth stage of PSLV again will serve as an orbiting platform for one month of operational mission life with deployable solar-panels and 1N cold-gas thruster (OPACS) based active stabilization.

There supposed to be a Quantum Communication Payload named QuantESS developed by SAC onboard the POEM-2 i.e PS4 stage as per SAC director, but it was not mentioned in press kit....

C-56 is Aditya-L1, so no
