According to the space agency, the satellites were launched by the Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV-C54) at 11:56 a.m. from Sriharikota’s Satish Dhawan Space Center.The third-generation OceanSat satellite, constructed specifically for ocean research, is the Earth Observation Satellite-6.The primary payload Earth Observation Satellite (Oceansat) was safely launched after a 17-minute flight, and the scientists successfully launched the passenger satellites into sun-synchronous orbits after lowering the rocket’s altitude to around 528 kilometres. The most recent launch occurs about a week after Vikram-S, which marked the entrance of the private sector into the space industry.
