103 satellites at one go

 

[Sloth 22]

Wrong.

PSLV C37 would be carrying
Cartosat 2D,INS1A , INS1B and 80 cubedata from nations like Israel,Switzerland,Kazakhstan , USA , EU etc.

So it 83.

OMG!

Is this a record?

Yep. The record till now is for 37 satellites.

The Confirmed Scedule for January is .


January 20 : GSLV MK3 D1 launch with GSAT 19E.

As for the record, without the definition of satellite, the sense becomes a non-sense.

In article it's saying March as launch date for GSLV mk3 . Which month it will launch January or March?

103 satellites at one go

No in multiple launches but there will be world record for most satellite launch in one time, count is above 80 in launch.

What's point in launching a sack of potatoes into the space?

Let me know when India is able to launch 103 satellites a year, each weighing at least 4 tons.

 

[GR!FF!N]

More and more countries are coming each year to launch their satellites using low cost vehicles ISRO offer,which is perfect for microsat.Great Job.

Don't lose heart. Satelite launchings are a commercial venture for ISRO. If you have a 4 ton satelite please contact Antrix Corporation and they will advise you accordingly. In a business the client is king so if a client wants to send 4 kg of potatoes in space, we will oblige him at a price.

There is a Reason why We dont use Saturn V for Mordern Day Launches, even though it can lift some 140 Tons to LEO !
