ISRO's PSLV-C34 lifts off with Cartosat, Google's SkySat Gen2-1, 18 other satellites and Job Done.
Isro launches 20 satellites
The Indian Space Research Organisation (Isro) created a record by launching 20 satellites, including those from the US, Germany, Canada and Indonesia, on Wednesday from the Satish Dhawan Space Center in Andhra Pradesh’s Sriharikota.
9: 38 am The PSLV rocket standing 44.4 metre tall and weighing 320 tonne, tore into the morning skies at 9.26 a.m. with a growl breaking free of the earth’s gravitational pull. The 20 satellites weighed 1,288 kg. 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.
9:50 am Mission accomplished as Isro has successfully placed record 20 satellites into their respective orbits.
PSLV has ‘done it’s job’ and put 20 satellites in the Orbit, said Chairman Kiran Kumar.
