Congratulations to ISRO on the successful launch of PSLV C-23

PSLV launch ISRO successfully launched it's work horse the venerable Polar Satellite Launch vehicle (PSLV). The PSLV C-23 launch successfully injected five foreign satellite into the orbit. This mission is crucial for ISRO as this launch was a commercial launch with only foreign payloads.    The 230-ton Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV) lifted off at 9:52.

We would like to congratulate ISRO on this success and wishes them more success in coming years. May they reach greater heights and may they make India the predominant power in space and take India into the forefront of cutting edge space applications. Congratulations  once again to ISRO.
