PSLV-C5 was the fifth operational launch and overall eighth mission of the Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle program. This launch was also the fifty-second launch by the Indian Space Research Organisation (IRSO) since its first mission on 1 January 1962. The vehicle carried and injected India's remote sensing satellite Resourcesat-1 (also known as IRS-P6) into a Sun-synchronous orbit; this was the heaviest and most sophisticated satellite built by IRSO through 2003. PSLV-C5 was launched at 04:52 hours Coordinated Universal Time (10:22 hours Indian Standard Time) on 17 October 2003 from Satish Dhawan Space Centre.{{cite news|title=PSLV-C5|publisher=Indian Space Research Organisation|accessdate=26 August 2016|url=http://www.isro.gov.in/launcher/pslv-c5}}{{cite news|title=PSLV-C5 brochure|publisher=Indian Space Research Organisation|accessdate=26 August 2016|url=http://www.isro.gov.in/sites/default/files/pdf/pslv-brochures/PSLVC5.pdf}}{{cite news|title=ISRO Timeline|publisher=Indian Space Research Organisation|accessdate=26 August 2016|url=http://www.isro.gov.in/about-isro/isros-timeline-1960s-to-today#52}}{{cite news|title=PSLV-C5 launched successfully|work=The Economic Times|accessdate=26 August 2016|url=http://articles.economictimes.indiatimes.com/2003-10-17/news/27558322_1_pslv-c5-polar-satellite-launch-vehicle-heaviest-satellite|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160916174303/http://articles.economictimes.indiatimes.com/2003-10-17/news/27558322_1_pslv-c5-polar-satellite-launch-vehicle-heaviest-satellite|url-status=dead|archive-date=September 16, 2016}}{{cite news|title=Countdown starts for PSLV-C5's launch|work=The Times of India|accessdate=26 Aug 2016|url=http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/Countdown-starts-for-PSLV-C5s-launch/articleshow/234440.cms}}{{cite news|title=PSLV|publisher=spacelaunchreport.com|accessdate=26 August 2016|url=http://www.spacelaunchreport.com/pslv.html|archive-url=https://archive.today/20130104225437/http://www.spacelaunchreport.com/pslv.html|url-status=usurped|archive-date=January 4, 2013}}{{cite news|title=IRS-P6|publisher=NASA|accessdate=26 August 2016|url=https://nssdc.gsfc.nasa.gov/nmc/spacecraft/display.action?id=2003-046A}}
