Launch, launch, record launch! Kudos ISRO! Kudos PSLV!





The time tested, reliable
Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle PSLV’s
Launch of 20 satellites in one go!
the pinnacle of ever growing launches since 1993
launch, launch, record launch! Kudos ISRO! Kudos PSLV!

The project progressed building
The launch vehicle C-34 with multi stages,
With fuel , combustion  chamber, engines et. al,
Assembling the satellite with fuel on board,
On board motors, sensors, communication et.al

Testing the launch vehicle, satellites
To ensure smooth flawless launch
The satellites fit inside the payload compartment
Heat shielded pay load fairing to enable jettisoning
The launch vehicle readied standing tall

Integrating all 20 satellites atop
Came June 22, 2016 the PSLV rolled on to
The launch pad all set for launch
Count down began checking all systems
T-minus 9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1,0 !… ignition! Fire, Lift off!

Cruising, coasting, jettisoning the stages
One after the other, the pay load fairing
Sliding away, falling off jettisoning the satellites
One after the other in record procession,
In 20 minutes on the trot! Satellites on their way!
  
Satellites reaching the orbit came under the
Control of Telemetry tracking network
Orbit corrections, manouvres to stabilize to continue
On the student built and customer country satellites
Grand job ISRO! Grand launch PSLV!  Grand salute!
