ISRO PSLV-C48/RISAT-2BR1 MISSION
SRIHARIKOTA: By placing the country’s fourth radar imaging earth observation satellite and nine other foreign satellites in their orbits on Wednesday, Isro’s workhorse PSLV crossed several milestones. It was PSLV’s 50th flight and 48th successful flight since its first successful launch on October 15, 1994. Around 16 minutes after PSLV-C48 lifted off from the first launch pad at Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota, the rocket injected 628kg RISAT-2BR1 into a 576km orbit.
