Isro successfully launched 104 satellites on the PSLV-C37 mission and the praise is pouring in

The PSLV has emerged as one of the most reliable launch vehicles in the world with a thirty seventh consecutive mission that succeeded. The PSLV-C37 took off from the First Launch Pad at Sriharikota High Altitude Range in Andhra Pradesh, and made history with the **launch of 104 satellites in a single mission** . The main payload was the Earth Observation Satellite CartoSat-2D. Isro had two other nanosatellites on board, INS-1A and INS-1B. The other **101 satellites on board were foreign** , and were allowed to piggyback on the mission through the agency of the commercial arm of Isro, Antrix. The entire launch operation went off without a hitch. The launch was tracked by stations in India, Mauritius and Antarctica. The actual flight path of the mission was exactly the predicted flight path. There was a blank out of communication with the launch vehicle as it flew over the southern part of the planet, and the link was handed over from the Mauritius-II ground station to the Troll ground station in Antartica. After a link was re-established with Troll ground station, it was verified that all the 104 satellites on board have been deployed correctly into orbit. It was a proud moment for Isro and India, and the congratulations started pouring in. https://twitter.com/RashtrapatiBhvn/status/831724946803929088 https://twitter.com/RashtrapatiBhvn/status/831725326443048960 https://twitter.com/narendramodi/status/831723671387385858 https://twitter.com/narendramodi/status/831723845782376448 https://twitter.com/narendramodi/status/831725716739760128 https://twitter.com/arunjaitley/status/831729409052663808 https://twitter.com/ncbn/status/831719609266888706 https://twitter.com/IamSaiDharamTej/status/831720547176239104 https://twitter.com/prasarbharati/status/831722453302915072 https://twitter.com/DDNewsLive/status/831723314707992576 https://twitter.com/dhanushkraja/status/831729459103428609 https://twitter.com/rsprasad/status/831729756072771584 https://twitter.com/rajnathsingh/status/831730862806990848 https://twitter.com/juniorbachchan/status/831732712989945856 https://twitter.com/MinIT_Telangana/status/831733010882035712 https://twitter.com/nitin_gadkari/status/831738514991697921 https://twitter.com/ShahnawazBJP/status/831740962581934080 https://twitter.com/RelianceMobile/status/831741447879716867 https://twitter.com/vijayrupanibjp/status/831743285945311236 https://twitter.com/PavanWadeyar/status/831743447941922819 https://twitter.com/makeinindia/status/831748147277922305
