In the last few months, the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) did something remarkable, i.e. launching by far the largest number of satellites (104) at one go, a South Asia Satellite for friends in the country's neighbourhood and finally, the heaviest GSLV Mk III satellite yet in the history of Indian space science. Besides re-asserting its place as a major space power, the launches did a sea of good to the country's image internationally.

Abstract


In the last few months, the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) did something remarkable, i.e. launching by far the largest number of satellites (104) at one go, a South Asia Satellite for friends in the country's neighbourhood and finally, the heaviest GSLV Mk III satellite yet in the history of Indian space science. Besides re-asserting its place as a major space power, the launches did a sea of good to the country's image internationally.
