'''PSLV-C48''' was a mission of the Indian [[Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle]] (PSLV) rocket, launched on Thursday, December 11, 2019, at 15:25 Hrs (IST) by the [[Indian Space Research Organisation]] (ISRO) from the [[Satish Dhawan Space Centre Second Launch Pad|second launch pad]] of the [[Satish Dhawan Space Centre]] at [[Sriharikota]], Andhra Pradesh.

The mission's main satellite was [[RISAT-2BR1]] along with other commercial satellites from various countries. RISAT-2BR1 was injected into an orbit of 576 km at an inclination of 37 degree to the equator, 16 minutes and 23 seconds after lift-off.

PSLV-C48 was the 50th launch of the [[Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle]] and the 75th launch vehicle mission from [[Satish Dhawan Space Centre]], Sriharikota. This is the 2nd flight of PSLV in 'QL' configuration (with 4 solid strap-on motors).

The first stage ignited for about 1 minute and 51 seconds, and got separated. This was followed by the second stage ignition and heat shield separation. The second stage separated at 4 minutes and 23 seconds. PS3 ignited and separated at 9 minute and 59 seconds. After ten seconds, last stage ignited and separated at 15 minutes and 24 seconds. [[RISAT-2BR1]] separated at 16 minutes and 26 seconds, at an altitude of 578 km.
Customer satellites separated from 17 minutes 26 seconds to 21 minutes 19 seconds.<ref>{{cite web|url= https://www.isro.gov.in/mission_PSLV_C48_RISAT_2BR1.html|title=PSLV-C 48 curtain raiser |website=isro.gov.in|accessdate=28 September 2023}}</ref>
