On 11 December the Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV) will create history with the launch of its 50th payload, reports The Hindu Business Line.
PSLV is called the workhorse of Indian space programme and for the last 26 years it has proven its reliability which has allowed Indian Space Research Organisation's (ISRO) gain international recognition.
India is now considered a leader when it comes to launching satellites in space and has launched satellites for several countries over the years. ISRO has many international clients who want their smaller satellites put into orbit using the PSLV.
In the last 26 years, PSLV launched 50 Indian satellites and 222 foreign satellites for over 70 international customers from 20 countries.
PSLV was also used to launch Chandrayaan-1 in 2008, and the Mars Orbiter in 2013.
Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
