India’s space agency ISRO continues to amaze the world with its historical stance launch record. The organisation has set new benchmarks of success by launching 104 satellites(3 Indian and 101 foreign satellites) in a single mission on board its trusted Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV), breaking Russia’s record of launching 39 satellites in a single mission in 2014. This successful launch has once again proved ISRO as one of the world’s most reliable and trusted space agencies. In this article, we will discuss some key facts about the PSLV-C37 launch and ISRO that you should know.
Top 10 Facts of ISRO’s Historical Stance on World Record PSLV C37 Launch
- Fact 1: The PSLV C37 spacecraft carried 3 Indian satellites and 101 satellites from other nations.
ISRO launched 104 satellites, three of which were made in the United States, while the rest came from across the world. The United States is one of our most popular destinations for international consumers.
- Fact 2: There were 103 nanosatellites in all.
Additionally, PSLV carried 103 “nanosatellites” that weighed a total of 664 kilogrammes, including a main earth observation satellite that was 714 kilogrammes in weight;
- Fact 3: The major Indian cartography satellite, CARTOSAT-2.
Also on board is an Indian cartography satellite, which is intended to be able to capture high-resolution images. Both China and Pakistan would be subject to 24/7 observation. In addition, two spacecraft from the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) are currently in orbit.
- Fact 4: Sriharikota
The ISRO’s PSLV launch took place at the Sriharikota spaceport in Andhra Pradesh. Chennai is around an hour and a half away by car.
- Fact 5: Just 18 Minutes
In little over an hour, all satellites were sent into orbit.
- Fact 6: The economy is gaining strength
The space market is growing more competitive, and Indian firms are making an impact. With this PSLV launch, India is creating a reputation for itself in the multi-billion-dollar space industry. Commercial satellites may be sent into orbit for a fee.
- Fact 7. India has shown its scientific competence earlier with two large space missions: Chandrayan and Mangalyaan.
- Fact 8: The second expedition to Mars is scheduled to launch in 2021-2022. A robot may be dispatched to Mars as part of the present plans.
- Fact 9. ISRO is contemplating trips to other planets like Jupiter and Venus.
- Fact 10: ISRO is also developing a Reusable Launch Vehicle, which is often referred to in India as the country’s space shuttle.
Why was ISRO’s PSLV-C37 mission so important?
The PSLV-C37 mission was very important for many reasons. First, it was the first time that India attempted to launch more than 10 satellites at one go. Second, all the satellites belonged to other countries. Third, it was the first time a private company attempted to launch 29 satellites. Normally, satellites belonging to a particular country are launched by their space agency, and satellites belonging to other countries are launched by the space agency of the country they are owned. The launch of 96 satellites belonging to 88 countries proves India’s soft power and global image.
Top 3 takeaways from ISRO’s Historical Stance World Record Setter:
- ISRO has emerged as the most trusted and reliable space agency globally.
- PSLV-C37 launch has once again proved ISRO as one of the world’s most trusted and reliable space agencies.
- The organisation has set new benchmarks of success by launching 104 satellites in a single mission on board its trusted Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV). Most importantly, the launch has also proved that India can launch satellites for other countries and be a reliable partner in space exploration.
Conclusion:
With PSLV-C37, ISRO has once again proved that it is one of the world’s most trusted and reliable space agencies. The organisation has set new benchmarks of success by launching 104 satellites in a single mission on board its trusted Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV) and has once again proved that India is capable of launching satellites for other countries and can be a reliable partner in space exploration.
