The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) has established a new world record on 15 February 2017 by injecting into orbit 104 satellites from 07 different countries, nearly 3 times the highest number flown by a single mission currently.

The earlier record was held by Russia, when its Dnepr rocket carried 37 payloads in June 2014. The same had surpassed the American record of 34 satellites launched in January, the same year abode Antares rocket used by American Company Orbital Sciences Corporation.

India, before this highly distinctive launch, had launched a maximum of 20 satellites on 20th June 2016 using ISRO’s PSLV-C34.

The Indian Space Research Organisation has so far launched 226 satellites, including 179 foreign satellites. The ISRO spokesperson informed that in another two months, the number of satellites built by ISRO will reach 100. Also, the lunar mission, Chandrayan - 2 is likely to be ready for launch by next year.

The ISRO with plethora of achievements to its credit is making every Indian’s chest swell with pride.
