Explanation:
Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) made India
proud when it created a world record by launching 104 satellites
in a single rocket. The satellites were launched from Sriharikota
of Andhra Pradesh, and it has made India the first country to
launch such a huge number of satellites together.
Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) made India
proud when it created a world record by launching 104 satellites
in a single rocket. The satellites were launched from Sriharikota
of Andhra Pradesh, and it has made India the first country to launch such a huge number of satellites together. India, apart
from outdoing its own previous achievements, has also moved
ahead of Russia by a long margin. Russia had held the record
earlier, for the most satellite launches in a single mission and
the number was 37. Russia had achieved that feat in 2014. This
record is followed by the US space agency NASA, which has
launched 29 satellites in a single mission. When ISRO had put
into earth’s orbit 10 satellites on the PSLV-C10 on June 2008,
it had created a world record. But it was subsequently broken
many times by Russian and American rockets.
ISRO had commenced the 28-hour countdown for the
launch on Tuesday, which was the shortest for any Polar Satellite
Launch Vehicle ever. The PSLV-37 is ISRO’s workhorse and on
its 39th mission, carried the 104 satellites. This single mission
launch is India’s second attempt and the first time it had
launched 23 satellites in one go. That mission was launched in
June 2016. India’s most powerful rocket the XL variant, which
was used in the momentous Chandrayaan and during the Mars
Orbiter Mission (MOM) has been used by ISRO in this launch
too. In the launch, 100 satellites are foreign made, including
some from the US, and rest of the 3 belong to India, which in
itself is a big achievement. Earlier, ISRO had reportedly planned to launch 83 satellites by January end. But later 20 more were
added. PM Modi’s pet South Asian satellite project is scheduled
to be launched in March 2017 and it will be a part of GSAT-9, that
will be launched in March 2017. Meanwhile, Modi congratulated
to the space organisation for the successful launch of PSLV-C37
and CARTOSAT satellite together with 103 nanosatellites.
This was ISRO’s first space mission for the year 2017, and
the most complicated mission it has ever carried out. Prime
Minister Narendra Modi and President Pranab Mukherjee
congratulated the space agency for the historic event that
significantly boosts India’s space programme.
The PSLV-C37/Cartosat2 Series satellite mission included
the primary satellite (Cartosat-2) and 101 international nano
satellites. It also launched two of its own nano satellites, INS1A and INS-1B.PSLV first launched the 714 kg Cartosat-2 Series
satellite for earth observation, followed by the INS-1A and INS1B, after it reached the polar Sun Synchronous Orbit. It then
went on to inject 103 co-passenger satellites, together weighing
about 664 kg, in pairs.
