Shortly after its launch from Sriharikota, Andhra Pradesh, this morning, SSLV-D2, the new rocket developed by the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO), successfully deployed three satellites into the intended orbit. At 9:18 am, the rocket lifted off from the Satish Dhawan Space Center's first launch pad carrying three small, micro, and nano satellites. During its 15-minute flight, the rocket sent the satellites into a 450 km circular orbit around the Earth.
"Mission is accomplished successfully. SSLV-D2 placed EOS-07, Janus-1, and AzaadiSAT-2 into their intended orbits," the space agency tweeted.
