The mission failed: Sensor failure and subsequent programming error caused satellites to be injected into 76 x 356 km unstable orbit which they would re-enter quickly. It was Indian Space Research Organization's 78th launch, 3rd this year and humanity's 6,280th orbital launch attempt. It was the 1st SSLV flight. The payload was bound for low Earth orbit (LEO).
