PS1 Ignition |
| The PSLV's solid-fueled first stage motor ignites when the countdown clock reaches zero. |
|
| T+01:51 |
First Stage Separation/Second Stage Ignition |
| Flying at an altitude of nearly 53 kilometers, or about 33 miles, the PSLV's solid-fueled first stage burns out and separates after consuming more than 300,000 pounds of propellant. The PSLV's Vikas second stage engine ignites less than a second later. |

Payload Fairing Jettison |
| The 3.2-meter, or 10.5-foot, diameter aluminum payload fairing jettisons once the PSLV flys above the dense lower atmosphere, exposing the Spot 7 satellite to space. |
|
| T+04:22 |
Second Stage Separation |
| The PSLV's Vikas engine shuts down and the second stage separates at the conclusion of its burn at an altitude of 219 kilometers, or about 136 miles. |
|
| T+04:23 |
Third Stage Ignition |
| The PSLV's third stage solid-fueled motor begins a 112-second burn. |
|
| T+08:41 |
Third Stage Separation |
| The PSLV's third stage separates from the fourth stage, beginning a 10-second coast period before the fourth stage fires to complete the powered phase of the launch. |
|
| T+08:51 |
Fourth Stage Ignition |
| The PSLV's fourth stage, powered by two hydrazine-fueled engines, ignites to propel the Spot 7 payload into a near-circular 656-kilometer (407-mile) orbit. The burn will last about 8 minutes, 25 seconds. |
|
| T+17:17 |
Fourth Stage Shutdown |
| The fourth stage shuts down after achieving a near-circular orbit with a perigee of 655.1 kilometers (407.1 miles), an apogee of 657.7 kilometers (408.7 miles) and an inclination of 98.23 degrees. |

|
| T+18:34 |
AISat Separation |
| The PSLV fourth stage deploys the 14-kilogram (30.8-pound) ship-tracking AISat satellite for DLR, the German Aerospace Centre. |
|
| T+19:04 |
CanX-4 Separation |
| The PSLV fourth stage deploys the 15-kilogram (33.1-pound) CanX-4 technology demonstration satellite for the University of Toronto Institute for Aerospace Studies Space Flight Laboratory. |
|
| T+19:34 |
CanX-5 Separation |
| The PSLV fourth stage deploys the 15-kilogram (33.1-pound) CanX-5 technology demonstration satellite for the University of Toronto Institute for Aerospace Studies Space Flight Laboratory. |
