Malcolm Merlyn Posted June 22, 2016 Posted June 22, 2016 Quote The Indian Space Research Organisation on Wednesday successfully launched a record 20 satellites using its trusted workhorse, the PSLV-C34 from Sriharikota. The rocket's main cargo is India’s 725.5 kg Cartosat-2 series satellite for earth observation. This satellite is similar to the earlier Cartosat-2, 2A and 2B. The other 19 satellites weighing totally around 560 kg are from US, Canada, Germany and Indonesia as well as one satellite each from Chennai’s Sathyabama University and College of Engineering, Pune. The mission would last for 26 and a half minutes by which time all satellites will be put into a polar synchronous orbit of 505 km height one by one. Though Isro has been placing multiple satellites into the orbit in a single launch for the last few years, Wednesday’s event is the biggest ever embarked by the space agency in terms of the number of satellites. With 20 satellites, the agency beat its previous record of placing 10 satellites in April 2008. Till date India has launched 57 foreign satellites successfully. Russia holds the world record for placing the most number of satellites in a single launch. Its Dnepr rocket launched 37 satellites in 2014. http://www.rediff.com/news/report/twenty-satellites-in-26-minutes-isro-makes-space-history/20160622.htm maniac, tweaker, sourab10forever and 2 others 5
chewy Posted June 22, 2016 Posted June 22, 2016 does ISRO have a private business unit?, they should create a private entity, do a public listing to raise funds from private investors. randomGuy 1
