THE champion of technological success on a "shoe-string budget' has done it again. By successfully launching 10 satellites in one go on a PSLV rocket, ISRO has further reinforced PSLV's record as a reliable, low-cost launcher in the international launch market. PSLV C-9 took off on Monday carrying two Indian satellites, the second edition of CARTOSAT, similar in capability to the first, and the first of a series of Indian mini satellites, called the Indian Mini Satellite (IMS)-1. The other eight satellites were very small systems, belonging to several foreign universities.
