82 satellites in a single go by ISRO!
In past few years ISRO has drawn world's attention for it's greatest achievements and it's ability. And now ISRO is planning to again give a amazing proof of it's ability by launching 82 satellite in a single shot! and thus approaching for a new world record.
The record for launching the highest number of satellites in one go is currently held by Russia, which launched 37 satellites in 2014. The US had placed 29 satellites in orbit using the Orbital Sciences-built Minotaur-1 rocket in 2013.
On June 22, 2016, India launched 20 satellites in one go. If the mission in January succeeds, India will once again break a global space record — for the second time in about two-and-a-half years. On September 24, 2014, in a record-breaking feat, India entered the Martian orbit in
the very first attempt, garnering international acclaim.
This mission will hold 60 satellites from USA, 20 from Europe and remaining 2 by UK. All 82 satellites will be placed in a 580-km polar sun synchronous orbit in a span of 20-25 minutes after launch. This historic mission will be carried out by space vehical PSLV-XL
(which is the advanced version of Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle). According to ISRO this massive launch will be carried on 15 January, 2017.
