The entire mission is like to last about 8,200 secs (2 hrs 20 mts) during which the primary satellites and nano satellites will be launched in two different SolarSunsynchronous Polar Orbits (SSPOs).

After the ignition and separation of all the four stages, the EOS-06 will be separated in Orbit-1 after a flight duration of 1,032.68 secs.

Subseqeuntly, Orbit change will be done by using two Orbit Change Thrusters (OCTs) introduced in the Propulsion Bay Ring of the PSLV-C54 Vehicle.
