It contains a cartosat 2 series weighed 712 kg , 30 co passenger satellites weighed of 243 kg ,out of them 29 are nano satellites .The satellites are positioned in the space around 505 km from the earths orbit . The total satellites carried by PSLV C-38 is 955 kg . The launch was done from Satish Dawan Space Centre, Sriharikota , Andhra pradesh , India .
