India set a record when its Polar Satellite Launch vehicle launched ten satellites into in a precisely timed sequence. As each satellite winder out of the vehicle, it had to be re-oriented to prevent collision. The feat proved the versatility, reliability and flexibility of the PSLV. THis was the 13th PSLC launch that has turned out to be successful. And full credits to the Indian space research Organisaiton (ISRO) for this amazing feat. When asked for his comments he said " This was a memorable occasion for Indian Space Research Organisaiton. We have set a record for launching 10 satellites." Very few countries have done or even tried this amazing feat and there are no official records that this has been already done before.
This is a major boost to the Space industry in the country and ISRo has once again made India Proud. The former president of the country Dr.A.P.J.Abdul kalam has congragulated the ISRO chairman Madhavan Nair for this amazing achievement. out of the ten satellites that were actually launched, only two belonged to India and the rest of the 8 satellites belonged to different countries and were built at different universities in different parts of the world. The Indian satellites in the ten were Cartosat-2A used for preparing maps and the India Mini satellite used for Remote sensing.
The ISRO has always been an asset to the Indian Space research and will continue to make India proud and make us Indians keep their head held high in the World arena. The president, the prime minister and the president of the congress party have also congragulated the major feat. We can expect many more of such achievements in the future. Way to go ISRO and hats off to Madhavan nair for the momoent of success. Catch ya guys later.
