Small Satellite Launch Vehicle (SSLV) on Friday successfully launched three satellites into their intended orbits. In its second developmental flight, the SSLV-D2 vehicle placed EOS-07, Janus-1 and AzaadiSAT-2 satellites into their intended 450-kilometer circular orbit.
Department of Space, in a statement, said that it took-off from the first launch pad at Satish Dhawan Space Centre, Sriharikota at 09:18 AM and took about 15 minutes to inject the satellites.
SSLV is the new small satellite launch vehicle developed by Indian Space Research Organisation, ISRO, to cater the launch of small satellites up to 500 kilogram to Low Earth Orbits on ‘launch-on-demand’ basis.
With today’s successful launch, India has got a new launch vehicle which was aimed to commercialise the small satellite launches through Industry on demand basis. ISRO looks forward for catering to the increasing global need of launching smaller satellites into Space.
