Yesterday, ISRO successfully launched five British commercial satellites on board PSLV-C28 from the spaceport of Sriharikota in one of heaviest commercial mission ever undertaken by it.
ISRO’s trusted workhorse PSLV-C28 placed the five satellites in sun synchronous orbit about 20 minutes after lift-off at 9.58 pm from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota.
