ISRO creates world record

Thursday, May 1st, 2008

On April 28, 2008 Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) launched 10 satellites into a Sun Synchronous Orbit (SSO). Two of the satellites are built by ISRO for use by various Indian agencies and 8 are from international customers. The lift-off and placement of 10 satellites in one launch is a new world record and beats the current record of 8 satellites held by Russia. My hearty congratulations to ISRO.
