The 49-hour countdown for launch of ISRO's PSLV C23 carrying a French Earth observation satellite along with four others from Singapore, Canada and Germany on June 30, commenced at the spaceport of Sriharikota today.
"The 49 hour countdown of PSLV C23 Mission started at 08:52 am at Satish Dhawan Space Centre at Sriharikota," ISRO said.
The Launch Authorisation Board, which met yesterday at Sriharikota, cleared the launch, paving the way for the start of the countdown. The launch, originally fixed at 9.49 am on June 30, has been rescheduled for 9.52 am due to the probability of space debris movement during the launch window.
