Quote: | India on Wednesday added yet another feather to its cap in space techonology when its 10th Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle put four satellites into orbit.
The PSLV-C7 blasted off majestically into space at 9.24 am from the spaceport at the Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota, 160 km from Chennai.
PSLV C-7 carries four satellites -- the 680 kg Indian Remote Sensing Satellite CARTOSAT-2, the 550 kg Space Capsule Recovery Equipment, Indonesia's LAPAN-TUBSAT and Argentina's 6 kg nanosatellite, PEHUENSAT-1.

It's good to see Indonesia and Argentina using Indian launchers for their satellites. _________________ Save Maharashtra! |

Hmm.. It is said that CARTOSAT-2 can zoom in on anything measuring 1 metre anywhere in the world. This is the 3rd satellite having this ability. |

Defence will be pleased.
1 metre is adequate.
