Sriharikota:
The Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle or PSLV lifts off today from Sriharikota in Andhra Pradesh. The PSLV carries 31 satellites in total from countries including India and six other countries. Cartosat 2 -- a surveillance satellite that was part of India's 100th satellite was placed into sun synchronous orbit according to ISRO. The satellites are to be launched in two orbits which makes the mission a unique one according to scientists. The entire lift-off process along with the process of placing the satellites in two orbits is to take the satellite 2 hours and 21 minutes. The liftoff was earlier postponed by one minute after a fear of collision of space debris.
