It was PSLV’s 52nd flight from the Sriharikota spaceport and the rocket’s 22nd flight with an XL variant of strap-ons. Around 20 minutes after lifting off from the second launch pad at the Satish Dhawan Space Centre, PSLV-C50 successfully injected the satellite into a sub-geosynchronous transfer orbit (GTO).
Congratulating the team, Isro chairman K Sivan said PSLV-C50 had injected the satellite into the precise sub-GTO orbit. “Solar panels were successfully deployed, and the satellite is doing well,” he said.
