The lift-off was postponed by a minute from 9:28 am as there was fear of collision due to space debris. The surveillance satellite from the “Cartosat 2” series will keep watch on India’s hostile neighbors. The last launch of IRNSS-1H – India’s first privately built satellite — on August 31 last year had failed because of a freak accident. This would be the 42nd flight of the PSLV.
