LIVE: PSLV C20 - SARAL - February 25, 2013 (12:31 UTC)

• 59 hour countdown! Sounds like a lenghty countdown, is it possible to get a breakdow n for the different operations / checkouts? How does it compare for other vehicles?
  
  I suppose the major time consumeing operations would be the propellant loading of the the two liquid fuel stages and the R.CS.
