PSLV-C50 injected the satellite into the predefined orbit around 20 minutes 12 seconds after the lift-off from the second launch pad at the space center. The solar panels of CMS-01 were automatically deployed, and ISRO’s Master Control Facility at Hassan assumed control of the satellite. ISRO said that CMS-01 is the 52nd communication satellite of the space agency and the 22nd flight of PSLV in XL configuration. The satellite would be providing services in the Extended-C Band of the frequency spectrum covering India, Andaman and Nicobar, and Lakshadweep islands.
