Andhra Pradesh CM congratulates Isro scientists for launch of PSLV- C47, reports ANI.
I congratulate ISRO on the successful launch of PSLV-C47 carrying indigenous Cartosat-3 satellite & over a dozen nano satellites of USA. The advanced Cartosat-3 will augment our high resolution imaging capability.
I congratulate the Isro team on yet another successful launch of PSLV-C47 carrying indigenous CARTOSAT-3 satellite and over a dozen nano satellites of USA. The advanced Cartosat-3 will augment our high resolution imaging capability. Isro has once again made the nation proud.
We have 13 missions up to March, including 6 large vehicle missions and 7 satellite missions, says Sivan.
I am happy that PSLV-C47 injected precisely in the orbit with 13 other satellites. CARTOSAT-3 is highest resolution civilian satellite: Isro chief K Sivan
