India puts into orbit Cartosat-3; touches 310 foreign satellite launch-mark
India crossed the milestone of putting into orbit 300 foreign satellites.
India on Wednesday successfully placed into orbit its own earth observation satellite Cartosat-3 and 13 American nano satellites in a text book style.
In the process, India crossed the milestone of putting into orbit 300 foreign satellites. By putting the 13 American nano satellites into orbit, India till date has launched a total of 310 foreign satellites for a fee.

Then, Cartosat-3, India's new earth perception satellite up in the sky will send sharp lucidity pictures for urban arranging, provincial asset and framework improvement, beach front land utilize and land spread and furthermore for key/protection purposes.
The Indian space office authorities said they would supply the necessary pictures for different organizations. It is for the client office to settle on the picture use.
The pictures caught by the satellite can likewise be utilized for observation purposes while Isro is quiet on this angle.
The satellitea¿s payload has the capacity of take sharp pictures with a ground goals of 0.25 meter in Panchromatic and 1metre ground goals or ground test separation (GSD) in 4 Band Multispectral modes with a swath of 16 km, said Isro.
The Indian space office additionally stated, Cartosat-3 has numerous new innovations/components like exceptionally light-footed auxiliary stage, payload stage, higher rate information taking care of and transmission frameworks, progressed locally available PC and new power gadgets, double gimbal reception apparatus and others.
"Incredibly glad to pronounce PSLV-C47 accurately infused Cartosat-3 and 13 client satellites in their ideal circle. Cartosat-3 is India's most elevated goals non military personnel rocket that Isro has fabricated so far," Isro Chairman K. Sivan said.
He said ISRO has arranged 13 missions during this financial - six dispatch vehicle missions and 7 satellite missions before March 2020.
At about 9.28 a.m. the rocket Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle-XL (PSLV-XL) remaining around 44.4 meters tall and weighing around 320 ton with a single direction ticket rushed itself towards the skies shipping Cartosat-3.
Offering the ride to Cartosat-3 were 13 nano satellites from the USA for an undisclosed expense to be paid to NewSpace India Ltd - the new ad arm of ISRO.
With the wild orange fire at its tail further lighting up the morning skies, the rocket gradually accumulated speed and went up and up enchanting the individuals at the rocket port while the rocket's motor commotion like a moving thunder adding to the rush.
Around 17 minutes into the flight the rocket launched out Cartosat-3 into a circle of 509 km at a tendency of 97.5 degrees.
Before long, the first of the American nano satellites was placed into space. The last nano satellite was catapulted into its proposed circle at around a short ways from the rocket's lift-off.
As per Isro, 12 of the US nano satellites are named as FLOCK-4P are earth perception satellites and the thirteenth is called MESHBED, a correspondence proving ground satellite.
The PSLV-XL is a four phase/motor disposable rocket controlled by strong and fluid fills then again. The rocket has six lash on promoter engines to give extra push during the underlying flight stages.
The dispatch achievement comes as an alleviating operator for Isro after its prominent moon lander Vikram collided with the lunar surface on September 7, 2019.
