Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) has been manufacturing satellites and launch vehicles PSLV and GSLV. Now, Indian space agency ISRO is aiming for a world record by putting into orbit 82 satellites on a single rocket in early 2017.
All the 82 satellites will be put in a single orbit and hence there will not be any switching off and on of the rocket. The rocket for Isro�s historic mission will be the advanced version of the proven four-stage Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV) designated PSLV-XL. All 82 satellites will be placed in a 580-km polar sun synchronous orbit in a span of 20-25 minutes after launch.
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.
