Mission overview
edit- Some Highlights:
Primary payload: EOS-06 (aka Oceansat-3) (1117 kg) satellite.
Secondary payloads: Eight ride-sharing small satellites.
Mission duration: 125 min. 21.36 sec. (last s/c separation)
Target Orbit 1 : 738 km (SSPO), Inclination = 98.34°
Target Orbit 2 : 511 km (SSPO), Inclination = 97.45°
Two Orbit Change Thrusters (OCT) introduced in the Propulsion Bay Ring.
Launch Azimuth: 140°
PSLV configuration : XL
56th flight of PSLV
24th Flight of PSLV XL
- Propellant:
- Stage 1: Composite Solid
- Stage 2: Earth Storable Liquid
- Stage 3: Composite Solid
- Stage 4: Earth Storable Liquid
The PSLV C54 rocket has four stages; each one was self-contained, with its own propulsion system, thereby capable of functioning independently. The first and third stages used composite solid propellants, while the second and fourth stage use earth-storable liquid propellant.
