India’s Polar Satellite Launch
Vehicle (PSLV-C23) successfully put on Monday five satellites from
abroad into their perfect orbits. This was the 27th PSLV launch and of
these 27 lift-offs, 26 have been successful in a row, demonstrating what
a reliable and robust launch vehicle the PSLV is.
It was a dedicated commercial launch in which the PSLV put into orbit SPOT
satellite from France, AISAT from Germany, NLS7.1 and NLS7.2, both from
Canada, and VELOX-1 from Singapore. Antrix, the commercial wing of the
Department of Space, will be charging a fee for putting each of these
satellites into orbit.
