ISRO's PSLV C45 lifted off from the Satish Dhawan Space Center in Sriharikota today, carrying India's EMISAT satellite along with 28 nanosatellites of global customers. The nearly 50-meter tall rocket blasted off from the second launch pad at the spaceport of Sriharikota (Andhra Pradesh) at 9.27 am.
On Monday, ISRO's PSLV-C42 blasted off from Sriharikota and injected two UK satellites into a very precise orbit 583km above Earth. After a lull of about five months, the launch marked the first of many ISRO has planned over the next few months - 18 more launches are expected by March 2019.
