The PSLV-C45[1] is the 47th mission of the Indian Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV) program.

It was the first flight of PSLV-QL,[1] having 4 strap-on boosters and placed a primary payload EMISAT and a secondary payload of multiple cubesats, for example 4 Lemur-2 satellites and the M6P satellite, in Sun-synchronous orbits.

The specialty of this mission is that for the first time PSLV will launch satellites in Three different orbits.

[5][6][7] Another distinguished feature of the project is for the first time, PSLV with four strap-on[2] configuration has been identified for this mission.

[9] [2] The PSLV C45 rocket had four stages; each one was self-contained, with its own propulsion system, thereby capable of functioning independently.
