India in multi-satellite launch. India successfully launches 10 satellites in a single mission, in a major boost to its capabilities in space. ...
The Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) added another feather to its cap on Monday by putting in orbit Cartosat-2A and delivered nine other satellites — the experimental Indian Mini Satellite IMS-1 and eight tiny commercial satellites — into a 637-km near-Earth orbit. Other Satellites include, the eight nanosats were built by universities in Canada, Denmark, Germany and the Netherlands. Called NLS-4 (a cluster of six), NLS-5 and RUBIN-8, they together weigh 50 kg. ISRO’s commercial arm Antrix Corporation charged $600,000 (about Rs 2.4 crore) for their launch. Among the satellites were CUTE from Japan and RUBIN from Germany.
In its thirteenth flight conducted from Satish Dhawan Space Centre (SDSC) SHAR, Sriharikota, today (April 28, 2008), ISRO’s Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle, PSLV-C9, successfully launched the 690 kg Indian remote sensing satellite CARTOSAT-2A, the 83 kg Indian Mini Satellite (IMS-1) and eight nanosatellites for international customers into a 637 km polar Sun Synchronous Orbit (SSO). PSLV-C9 in its ‘core alone’ configuration launched ten satellites with a total weight of about 820 kg (a record in its own).
For those who are unaware of PSLV, This was the 12th consecutive and successive PSLV flight from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre at Sriharikota. The same PSLV is being used to loft the Chandrayaan-1 lunar orbiter mission later this year.
The record multiple launch of 10 satellites in one shot started at 9.20 a.m. and lasted around 20 minutes. It once again showcased ISRO’s space transportation capability in polar, 1,000-km distances aboard the PSLV launcher
Yesterday night, after reaching the home, Switched on the TV and told my friend for 5 minutes to see what media has to say on this Glorious moment of India(he was busy very busy watching cricket), The Moment which will make India glow in the so called, western dominated world in the field of Polar Launch Vehicles.
Switched between the 2-3 news channels and I was too much disappointed to see the headlines. Headlines started like, Bhajji got this many matches punishment, Bhajji will loose 3 crore of rupees, BCCI yet to decide on the punishment and what others have to say on this. Nearly this 4 items displayed in the headlines and then came, what was proud moment of India was, India Launched 10 Satellites today. News Media had so much time to show what a slap can do, but they have very less time for what this launch has done for India. They are worried about 3 crore loss of harbhajan over the slap issue, but see what India as a country has gained, Forex, Yes absolutely, Technology implementation, yes we have proved on 29th April by launching 10 satellites, and We have made a mark in the world that, Yes, we Indians can also do it. But No this was known to common Indian. I asked my room mate, see the news man, its glorious day for India and he was unaware of what the Glory India has achieved that day. No one around me knew, But yes, they knew, Harbhajan was fined. Media was interested in showing that clipping thousand times and instead stayed away from the what is really called as news of the day.
Its disappointment to see the media, highlighting non important issue over glory of India for the sake of Money, Entertainment, and news channel have forgot they are here to show news not the Entertainment. Please Please show some courtesy towards the great Indian brains to who decide to stay in India when there is air of Go West movement.
I was praying, please no similar incident on the news papers of tomorrow, and I glanced the TOI, Mumbai Edition, and I was happy to see, that it has posted that news in the headlines giving more space then the Bhajji case.
When Mr G. Madhavan Nair, Chairman, ISRO, said, below line, sadly, no one from common India was there to listen to it,
"It is really a memorable moment. The mission was perfect and for the first time, 10 satellites were launched within one mission. We have set a record"
But one thing per sure, ISRO has made us Proud and I will proudly say, Indians dare to do when others even fear to Think. Kudos and Jai Hind.
