The Indian Satellite Research Organisation (ISRO) has successfully launched the Small Satellite Launch Vehicle (SSLV-D2) in its second attempt this morning from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota, Andhra Pradesh.

With three satellites successfully placed in their respective orbits, ISRO Chairman said that they had identified the problems with SSLV-D1 and resolved them in the second development. The chairman congratulated all the teams for successfully placing the satellites in their orbits in what can be called the first launch this year.

The rocket took off at 9:18 am and accomplished its mission within 15 minutes. It put the earth observation satellite EOS-07, Janus-1 and AzaasiSat2 in a 450km orbit surrounding the earth. ISRO took to Twitter to make the official announcement of the success of the mission.
