India: This one rocket will launch 20 satellites into space
The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) began the 48-hour countdown for the launch of a PSLV C34 rocket that will carry 20 satellites into space, Monday. India's previous record, set by a PSLV-C9 rocket, saw the ISRO launch 10 satellites into orbit.
The PSLV C34 was readied at the Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota, ahead of its scheduled lift-off at 09:26 local time (03:56 GMT) on June 22. Workers were seen assembling satellites and the PSLV C34 itself, which was placed on a launcher in readiness for lift-off.
The rocket will launch satellites for India, Germany, Indonesia, the US and Canada, in addition to several for a number of Indian research organisations, including Sathyabama University and Pune's College of Engineering.
