"SSLV-D2/EOS-07 Mission is successfully accomplished ...

The first test-flight of the rocket took place on August 9, 2022, and ended up failing to inject satellites in desired orbits, as they were placed in a highly elliptical orbit due to a shortfall of velocity, an investigation into the failure showed.

India Successfully Puts 3 Light Satellites Into Orbit
11:49 10.02.2023 (Updated: 11:51 10.02.2023) MOSCOW (Sputnik) - India has successfully put three new light satellites into orbit on Friday after launching them on the Small Satellite Launch Vehicle (SSLV) carrier rocket, the Indian Space Research Organization said.
"SSLV-D2/EOS-07 Mission is successfully accomplished ...

It is already the
second launch of the SSLV carrier rocket that intends to send light satellites of up to 500 kilograms to low Earth orbit and provides "
low-cost access" to space, according to the space research organization.
The first test-flight of the rocket took place on August 9, 2022, and ended up failing to inject satellites in desired orbits, as they were placed in a highly elliptical orbit due to a shortfall of velocity, an investigation into the failure showed.
