Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) launches 31 satellites, including three of India and 28 of six other countries. PSLV-C40 was launched from the First Launch Pad (FLP) of Satish Dhawan Space Centre (SDSC) SHAR, Sriharikota, Andhra Pradesh.

This is ISRO’s first launch in 2018 and also the first after the unsuccessful mission of IRNSS-1H in August last year.
