PSLV-C54/EOS-06 Mission Successfully Accomplished

The Indian Space Research Organisation has successfully launched the PSLV-C54/EOS-06 mission with Oceansat-3 and eight nanosatellites, including one from Bhutan, on board the Sriharikota spaceport today, November 26, 2022.

ISRO confirmed the launch through its social networking sites. On Twitter, it wrote, “PSLV-C54/EOS-06 Mission: EOS-06 spacecraft separation is successful. The spacecraft’s health is normal. The mission is continuing… The PSLV-C54/EOS-06 mission is accomplished. The remaining satellites have all been injected into their intended orbits”.

About PSLV

The Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV) was launched in 1993 by the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) to launch Indian Remote Sensing (IRS) satellites into sun-synchronous orbits.

The vehicle has been used for India’s first interplanetary mission, the Mars Orbiter Mission, and India’s first space observatory. It continues to support Indian and foreign satellite launches, particularly for low-earth orbit satellites.

ISRO plans to hand over the production and operation of the vehicle to private industry through a joint venture. In September 2022, Hindustan Aeronautics Limited and Larsen & Toubro signed a contract with ISRO for the production of five PSLV-XL launch vehicles.

As of July 1, 2022, the PSLV has made 55 launches, with 52 successfully reaching their planned orbits. This marks the 56th flight of the PSLV and the 24th flight of the PSLV-XL version with 6 PSOM-XLs. The PSLV-C54 launch is planned from the First Launch Pad, SDSC, and SHAR.
