New Delhi: The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) will try to create, yet another, history in space by launching 104 satellites at one go using its workhorse PSLV-C37 next week.
Earlier, the Indian space agency had planned to launch 83 satellites in the last week of January. But the launch had been postponed to February with the addition of 20 more foreign satellites.
As we eagerly await to witness ISRO's much laudable task of launching record-breaking satellites in a single flight, here are a few things to know:
As of December 2016, ISRO's PSLV has made 39 launches, with 37 successfully reaching their planned orbits, one outright failure and one partial failure, yielding a success rate of 95% (or 97% including the partial failure).
Some notable payloads launched by PSLV include India's first lunar probe Chandrayaan-1, Mangalyaan (Mars orbiter) - India's first interplanetary mission,- Astrosat, which is country's first space observatory.
