The Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle PSLV-C-15 carrying remote sensing Cartosat-2B along with four satellites blasted-off from the spaceport near Sriharikota this morning.
The four-stage 44.4 meter tall PSLV-C-15 lifted off at the end of a 51-hour countdown from the Satish Dhawan space centre at 9.22 AM.
The rocket soared into skies in clear weather leaving behind plumes of smoke.
It will place four satellites into orbit, including Alsat from Algeria, two nano satellites from Canada and Switzerland, and a pico satellite Studsat built by seven engineering students of Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka.
