  • 5 years ago
Prime Minister Narendra Modi reached Sriharikota in Andhra Pradesh on Sunday evening to witness the historic launch on Indian Space Research Organisation's PSLV C-23 rocket on Monday.

The 230-ton Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV) will lift-off at 9:52 am on Monday from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota. The launch was originally fixed at 9.49 am, but was delayed by three minutes due to the probability of space debris movement during the launch window.

The PSLV will carry five satellites from four countries - France, Germany, Canada and Singapore.

Soon after landing in Sriharikota, Mr Modi was taken to the first launch pad where senior scientists briefed him about the launch mission.

The Prime Minister also visited the GSLV-Mk III Vehicle Assembly Building and was briefed there by senior scientists.
