BANGALORE, INDIA: The Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) today set up a world record by placing 10 satellites into the orbit in a single mission.

The Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle – C9 (PSLV-C9) took off from Sriharikota (Andhra Pradesh) putting into orbit two Indian and eight foreign satellites.

The Indian satellites were the remote sensing CARTOSAT-2A and the 83 kg Indian Mini Satellite (IMS-1). The rest were nanosatellites, including those developed by foreign research institutions from Germany and Canada.

Before today's feet, Russia had earlier launched eight satellites together.

"The mission was perfect," said G Madhavan Nair, chairman of ISRO after the launch. "It is a historic moment for us because it is the first time that we have launched 10 satellites in a single mission," he added.

Russia attempted to put 16 satellites in 1 mission, but never shared with the world about the outcome of that mission! So... Chak De India
