India’s EMISAT satellite was successfully launched on-board the polar rocket PSLV-C45 from this spaceport on Monday.
After a perfect lift-off at the end of a 27-hour countdown, the nearly 50 metre-tall PSLV C-45 injected the 436-kg EMISAT into orbit about 17 minutes later. The EMISAT satellite is aimed at electromagnetic measurement.
The 28 foreign customer nano-satellites would be released into different orbits nearly two hours later, after restarting the fourth stage of the rocket, ISRO said.
After the release of all the satellites, ISRO would undertake orbital experiments, including on maritime satellite applications, making the mission a first of its kind for the space agency.
