Rajya Sabha today congratulated ISRO scientists for India’s polar satellite launch vehicle successfully launching Indo-French satellite Saral and six other satellites.
When the House met for the day, Chairman Hamid Ansari made a reference to Indian Space Research Organisation’s (ISRO) workhorse Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV)-C20 rocket successfully launching Indo-French oceanographic study satellite ‘SARAL’ and six foreign mini and micro spacecraft from Sriharikota in Andhra Pradesh yesterday.
“The launch of this PSLV adds yet another golden milestone in the success story of Indian space history,” he said. “The credit for this achievement, undoubtedly, goes to our scientific community, particularly those working with ISRO.”
Ansari on his behalf and on behalf of the House congratulated the scientists and engineers associated with this project.
Members thumped their desk to congratulate the scientists as Ansari said they have “made us feel proud”.
