The launch of SSLV-D3 developmental flight
Four objects tracked:
24147A(60454),i,a×p = 37.39°, 524×444
24147B(60455),i,a×p = 37.40°, 511×412
24147C(60456),i,a×p = 36.70°, 391×388
24147D(60457),i,a×p = 37.37°, 475×432
Leaving two spent stages (SS3, VTM) in orbit isn't exactly neat! (especially if they can break up..)
