The spacecraft will also test a new technology in which the fourth stage of the launch vehicle will be used to perform in-orbit scientific experiments.

The mission proposes to demonstrate the utilization of the spent upper stage of the launch vehicle as a stabilized platform for scientific payloads subsequent to the separation of the satellites. The mission also placed two small satellites, a student satellite INSPIREsat-1, and a technology demonstrator satellite, INS-2TD, a precursor to India-Bhutan Joint Satellite INS-2B.

This was ISRO’s second PSLV mission of the year after it successfully launched the PSLV-C52 mission in February this year by injecting Earth Observation Satellite (EOS-04), into an intended sun-synchronous polar orbit of 529 km altitude.
