ISRO fires intelligent satellite, 28 others

India scripted history by successfully launching EMISAT, a military satellite, and 28 foreign nano satellites on-board its polar rocket on Monday, in a complex mission which marked many a first for ISRO

CAPABILITY: EMISAT can locate enemy radar through electromagnetic measurement

ROCKET: The space agency’s workhorse PSLV-C45, which undertook its 47th mission on Monday

436 kg weight of EMISAT

LAUNCH: EMISAT and 28 satellites belonging to Lithuania, Spain, Switzerland and US under commercial arrangement

MANY FIRSTS

• Single Indian rocket puts satellites in three orbits
   
• Nearly 60-70% of the components fabricated outside ISRO

NEXT BIG MOVE

Chandrayaan 2 launch in May

Congratulations to the scientists at @ISRO for the successful PSLV C-45 launch which has put our EMISAT satellite and 28 satellites from 4 countries (USA, Switzerland, Lithuania, Spain) in their respective orbits.
