PSLV Launched-India Sets World Record

India sets world record by successfully placing 10 satellites in the orbit. The satellites were placed in orbit by the India’s Polar Rocket. All this was done in one single mission and the satellites were placed along with India’s Remote Sensing satellite.

14 after lift off, the fourth stage of the ISRO’s workhorse launch vehicle, in its 13th flight, dropped the ten satellites, into the 635 kilometer polar Sun Synchronous Orbit (SSO). The rocket was launched from the launch pad at the Satish Dhawan Space Centre and soared into the clear sky in a textbook launch.

This happens to be the 12th successful flight of PSLV. Also it was the first time ISRO has has put 10 satellites in the orbit in single mission. It is for the first time in the world that ten satellites were launched in a single mission. Russia had earlier launched eight satellites together.

I am starting to believe that soon India would have the technology and confidence to launch a manned vehicle to moon.
