The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) is one of the fastest growing space agencies of the world. Once considered a novice player in the space-race, ISRO has brought India into the limelight by its Lunar mission, ‘Chandrayaan’, Mars orbiter mission, ‘Mangalyaan’ and by its ever-evolving launch capability.
Thanks to ISRO, India is now considered as the cheapest and the most reliable nation to launch satellites into space. A majority of nations, including the USA and many European countries, are preferring India to launch their satellites.
On Wednesday morning, ISRO created history by launching 104 satellites in a single mission. The previous record was held by Russia who launched 37 satellites together in 2014. Out of 104, 3 satellites were Indian while the rest were from multiple nations.

As soon as the launch was successful, congratulations started flowing on Twitter. Prime Minister, Narendra Modi was amongst the first to applaud ISRO.
Congratulations to @isro for the successful launch of PSLV-C37 and CARTOSAT satellite together with 103 nano satellites!

4. Can’t argue that
#ISRO launches 104 satellites in one go. It is still less than the number of launches made by Congress for Rahul Gandhi.😂😂😂

The west, which once considered India to be a land of snake charmers, is now sending their payloads up in the space with the help of our space agencies.
Kudos to ISRO on the achievement and making us proud yet again. May India’s name shine brighter amongst the stars in the days to come.
