“I’m extraordinarily pleased to announce from the spaceport of ISRO that the primary launch of this yr has been efficiently achieved with the GSLV-F15 exactly putting the NVS-02 satellite tv for pc into the meant orbit. This mission is our a centesimal launch from right here. It is a important milestone for our area programme,” stated ISRO Chairman Dr. V. Narayanan.
India is among the many few nations that boast its personal satellite tv for pc configuration within the area for navigation.
