The crisply edited one-minute video begins with the final countdown to the launch, as PSLV-C44 lifted off from the first launch pad at Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota at 11.37pm. It was PSLV’s 46th flight and first flight with a new variant called PSLV-DL with two strap-ons, each carrying 12.2-tonne solid propellent.

The video shows the stage separations as the rocket roars through the dark sky. The video ends with clips from the cameras installed on PS4, the fourth and final stage of the rocket, which captured the separation of the heat shield and Microsat R satellite. The satellite was injected into a 277.2km orbit.
The video ends showing the injection of the primary satellite.
The mission was declared successful, and Isro scientists demonstrated a new technology post the injection of the primary satellite. PS4 of PSLV coursed through space to 450km before the ‘dead’ stage was revived and Kalamsat, aa 10cm cubesat made by Chennai students, which was secured to the stage, was activated for experiments.
