PSLV liftoff with Cartosat-2D and 103 other satellites
India's Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV) will be lifting off from the First Launch Pad at the Satish Dhawan Space Center in Sriharikota, India. The Cartosat-2D satellite is a part of a series of satellites and will be the fifth one launched. These satellites are Earth observation satellites that sit in a sun-synchronous orbit, meaning they orbit the Earth with the sun always in view. The PSLV launched from India at 10:58 pm EST on February 14th marking the 39th launch of the rocket. Along with carrying the Cartosat-2D satellite, it also brought up 103 small satellites exceeding the record of a number of satellites brought into orbit successfully.
