hi all
ISRO has today successfully launched PSLV C 16. They have also placed three satellites, including Resourcesat-2 in the orbit. This is the 18th launch of PSLV with 16 uninterrupted success.
Those who had watched live the launch of PSLV today morning, would not have missed the tense and delightful 18 minutes, till the launch was declared successful, after placing the three satellites in the respective orbits. I could see the tension on the face of the scientists. I saw few of them praying with folded hands. It may be recalled that in 2010, ISRO's launch of GSLV satellite was not successful and the satellite went into bay of Bengal. Probably, the entire Nation joined them with prayers for the success.
In this Mission, they have also sent three high resolution cameras for taking pictures. First set of pictures will be received by the control authorities from the satellite from 28th April.
Today's event is a historical event in Indian Space Mission. India has positioned herself as the leader in 'Remote Sensing'. India will be supplying important data to various countries in future.
It was quite heartening to see Dr Radhakrishnan, Chairman of ISRO introducing all his team leaders and asking them to speak for few minutes to the Nation through live telecast. That proved the good leadership and team spirit of ISRO.
Dr Radhakrishnan assured the Nation today that they will be launching PSLV C-17 and C-18 shortly.
ISRO scientists have made India and all the citizens proud. Let us pray for their future success too. It is a much bigger a victory for India than the Word Cup. At least in future, let us hope such scientific achievements and global positioning of India will receive deserved media attention.
