Where -
The Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle or PSLV lifted off from Sriharikota in Andhra Pradesh.
The PSLV-C40 placed 31 satellites, originating from seven countries.
This is the 42nd ight of the PSLV.
The 30 other satellites onboard include two other satellites from India and 28 satellites from six
countries — Canada, Finland, France, Korea, the United Kingdom and the United States.
The Cartosat-2 satellite, the third in the series, was deployed to relay high resolution scene speci c spot
imageries.
The images will be useful for cartographic applications, urban and rural applications, coastal land use
and regulation, road network monitoring, water distribution, creation of land use maps and change
detection to bring out geographical Land Information Systems and Geographical Information System
applications.
The mission is a unique one, since the satellites were launched in two orbits.
Thirty of the satellites were launched in an orbit 550 km about, and one 359-km above the Earth.
This was done through what scientists call the “multiple burn technology” under which the rocket’s
engine is switched off and then switched on to control its height.
