Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle

The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) created history on Wednesday, as it launched a record set of 104 satellites by Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV) in a single mission from Sriharikota in southern Indian Province of Andhra Pradesh.

India successfully put a record 104 satellites from a single rocket into orbit on Feb. 15 in the latest triumph for its famously frugal space agency.

Scientists who were at the launch in the southern spaceport of Sriharikota burst into applause as the head of India's Space Research Organisation (ISRO) announced all the satellites had been ejected.
