ISRO sucessfully puts three satellites into orbit on board the PSLV C-52

ISRO’s first launch of 2022 and under the new Chairman S. Somanath went off without a glitch, placing all the three satellites into their intended orbit with precision

Thick orange fumes from the Indian Space Research Organisation’s PSLV C-52 lit up the pre-dawn dark sky and Pulicat Lake as it soared into the skies with the silence of the morning broken by the booming noise of the launch vehicle that carried three satellites on board. 

ISRO’s first launch of 2022 and under the new Chairman S. Somanath went off without a glitch, placing all the three satellites into their intended orbit with precision. The PSLV C-52 was the 54th flight of the PSLV and the 23rd mission using the PSLV-XL configuration.

The success of the launch was crucial for ISRO that had a very muted 2020 with just two launches, one of which - the GSLV- F10 failed after launch.
