Congratulations …… ISRO
ISRO proved its mettle again by successfully launching PSLV-C16 rocket on 20th April 20, 2011 at 10.18 AM. PSLV-C16 successfully puts 3 satellites Remote sensing satellite Resourcesat-2 and two smaller satellites YOUTHSAT and X-SAT in their respective orbits. The entire launch was completed within the duration 18 minutes.
This is 18th successful rocket launch with PSLV. Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle is most reliable and cost effective launch vehicle in the world. PSLV is a synonym for success.
PSLV is 44 metres tall with a lift off weight of 295 tonne and designed to launch 1600 kg satellites in 620 km sun-synchronous polar orbit and 1050 kg satellite into geo-synchronous transfer orbit. PSLV is one the most versatile vehicle for launching multiple satellites in polar SSOs, Low Earth Orbits and geosynchronous transfer orbit. PSLV launch vehicle has 4 stages using solid and liquid propulsion systems alternately.
I’m wishing all the iSRO scientists for the successful launch of PSLV-C16.
Jai Ho Bharat
Jai ISRO……….Sky is the limit …….
