 "ISRO's PSLV C35 carrying SCATSAT-1 and seven other satellites, lifts off from Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota")
Indian Space Research Organisation (Isro) launched as many as 104 satellites from a single rocket on Wednesday, a global record, from its Sriharikota launch station off the Andhra coast.
The bulk of these satellites were from the US; some other countries also hired Isro’s services.
Isro hopes this development would help its aim of making the country a one-stop shop to build and hurl micro satellites. There is a global shortage of launchers for small satellite missions and there’s also a rush from private business in the US and Europe to send hundreds of these to space for various needs.
