Mission Director S.R.Biju told PSLV rockets are the workhorses of ISRO and they never fail to deliver.
This is the 56th flight of the Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV) and the 24th Flight of PSLV-XL version with 6 PSOM-XLs, as per ISRO.
The primary objective of the mission is to ensure the data continuity of Ocean colour and wind vector data to sustain the operational applications.

Around 17.17 minutes after take-off, the rocket’s fourth stage injected EOS-06 (Oceansat-3) into a 742.7km orbit. EOS-06 is a third-generation satellite in the Oceansat series.
This will provide continuity services of Oceansat-2 spacecraft with enhanced payload specifications as well as application areas.
