PSLV Launch
September 19, 2002 01:45 AM
I was pleased to know the ISRO has got another feather in its cap. For as low as Rs. 75 crores (i.e. USD 15 million), they managed to launch a satellite. About 12 times cheaper than what China could achieve. For one, we have beaten the Chinese in their own game. :-) From the Slashdot thread, I came to know that SpaceImaging, one of the largest satellite image suppliers, gets most of its data from the IRS series of satellites.
