ISRO Successfully Launches PSLV-C28 with 5 UK Satellites

By NDP newsroom

the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) successfully launched the PSLV-C28 rocket carrying five British satellites into orbit. The launch, which took place from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota, marks another milestone in India's growing capabilities in space technology.

The mission was conducted using the Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV), known for its reliability and versatility. The PSLV-C28 mission placed the five commercial payloads—small satellites—into a sun-synchronous orbit. These satellites are part of a broader initiative to demonstrate India's space capabilities on a global stage.

The UK-based Surrey Satellite Technology Ltd (SSTL) was behind the design and development of these satellites, which are primarily meant for Earth observation. The successful launch strengthens ISRO's position in the global satellite launch market, further solidifying its reputation as a cost-effective provider of space services.

This mission is significant not only because of its technical success but also for the diplomatic ties it strengthens between India and the UK in the realm of space exploration and technology. ISRO’s space missions continue to garner global attention, with a growing number of countries choosing India for satellite launches due to its advanced technology and competitive pricing.

New Delhi – Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has secured a historic victory in Delhi, ending a 27-year-long wait to reclaim the state and delivering a resounding defeat to Arvind Kejriwal’s Aam Aadmi Party (AAP). The BJP’s landslide win signals a clear rejection of AAP’s governance and a strong endorsement of Modi’s leadership and development agenda.
