ISRO Chief Dr. K Sivan said, "I am happy that PSLV-C47 injected precisely in the orbit with 13 other satellites. Cartosat-3 is highest resolution civilian satellite; We have 13 missions up to March- 6 large vehicle missions and 7 satellite missions."

He congratulated the teams behind both the satellite as well as the launch vehicle, besides various review teams and industry partners involved in the mission.

On future missions, the ISRO chief said, "Our hands are full," with 13 missions slated upto March 2020.

"They combine some six launch vehicle missions and seven satellite missions," he said.

Sriharikota: The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) on Wednesday launched PSLV-C47, carrying a third-generation earth observation satellite Cartosat-3.

"Propellant filling of second stage (PS2) of PSLV-C47 completed. Updates will continue...," ISRO earlier tweeted.

The launch was scheduled at 9:28 am today.

Commencing the countdown for the launch of PSLV-C47 on Tuesday, ISRO had tweeted: "26-hour countdown for the launch of PSLV-C47 mission commenced today at 7.28 am from Satish Dhawan Space Centre (SDSC) SHAR, Sriharikota."

With an overall mass of 1,625 kg, CARTOSAT-3 would address increased user's demands for large scale urban planning, rural resource and infrastructure development, coastal land use and land cover. It will also serve military purposes.

PSLV-C47 is the 21st flight of PSLV in 'XL' configuration (with 6 solid strap-on motors). The 13 commercial nano-satellites from the US are being carried as part of commercial arrangement with NewSpace India Limited (NSIL) of the Department of Space.

Among the 13 commercial nano satellites are FLOCK-4P, 12 in numbers, with mission objective of earth observation, and one satellite named MESHBED, whose objective is communication testbed.

ISRO has said this would be the 74th launch vehicle mission from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre, Sriharikota. The PSLV is in its 49th mission while PSLV-XL variant on its 21st mission.

CASRTOSAT-3 is the ninth in the Cartosat series and today's launch is the fifth for ISRO in 2019.
