India scripted a new chapter in the history of space exploration on Wednesday with the successful launch of a record 104 satellites+ by Isro's Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV) in a single mission.
PSLV-C37 carrying the 104 satellites lifted off from the first launch pad at Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota at 9.28am. It was PSLV's 39th flight.
Seventeen minutes later, the rocket started placing the satellites into orbit, one by one with a time-frame of about 11 minutes.
Out of the total 104 satellites placed in orbit, 101 satellites belonged to six foreign countries. They included 96 from the US and one each from Israel, the UAE, the Netherlands, Switzerland and Kazakhstan.
PSLV first injected its main payload Cartosat- 2 series, India's indigenously built earth observation satellite. It was followed by two other nanosatellites of Isro ---- INS-1A and INS-1B.
It then took less than 10 minutes for the rocket to spew out 101 passengers, which are all foreign nanosatellites, as it travelled up in altitude reaching the polar sun synchronous orbit.
Russian Space Agency held a record of launching 37 satellites in one go during its mission in June 2014. India previously launched 23 satellites in a single mission in June 2015.
据印度媒体报道，当地时间15日，搭载104颗卫星的印度极轨卫星运载火箭(PLSV)从斯里赫里戈达岛的印度航天发射中心发射升空，并成功将所有104颗卫星送入轨道。印度总理穆迪对此表示祝贺。
根据印度媒体报道，本次发射是印度当地时间15日上午，地点是位于印度东南部安得拉邦斯里赫里戈达岛的印度航天发射中心。
这枚火箭携带一颗714公斤重的地球观测卫星和103颗重量总计664公斤的纳米卫星。印度空间研究组织透露，这些纳米卫星几乎全都属于外国客户，96颗来自美国，其余来自以色列、哈萨克斯坦、荷兰、瑞士、阿拉伯联合酋长国等。
此前，俄罗斯曾于2014年创造“一箭37星”的纪录，此次印度发射的火箭成功入轨创下新纪录。

Some people say it's not wise to spend on ISRO. Let me ask you one question - If the govt stops spending on space program then all these scientists will go to work at NASA, then wouldn't that be considered 'Brain Drain'?
有些人说在ISRO上面投入是不明智的
让我问你们一个问题：如果政府不搞太空项目，那么ISRO科学家都会去美国宇航局工作。
这不就是人才流失吗？
