Description |
- Isro’s PSLV-C35 placed SCATSAT-1, seven other satellites
in orbit in longest ever launch mission.
- They included two satellites developed by educational
institutions -- Pratham from IIT-Bombay and Pisat from PES
University, Bangalore, and its consortium -- and five other
commercial satellites from Algeria, Canada and the US.
- Mastering the technology meant that Isro can accommodate
satellites meant for different orbits in a single rocket
thereby saving costs.
- Earlier, they had to build separate rockets to be flown
to different orbits.
- Placing satellites in different orbits will also
facilitate launching more such commercial satellites in the
future.
