An Indian rocket successfully launched 10 satellites into orbit at one go on Monday reaching a milestone in , space technology and boosting India's image as a major player in the multi-billion-dollar satellite launching business.
The PSLV-C9 injected two Indian satellites and eight nano satellites into space from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre, the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) said. "Today's mission has been a remarkable success as we set a record injecting 10 satellites simultaneously Though . published material on space launches show Russia has launched 13 satellites simultaneously we do not know how successful the results were," ISRO chairman G.

The single-core version of India's workhorse launcher PSLV boomed into a cloudy sky with a payload of 850 kg. After 1,020 seconds, it launched India's Cartosat-2 A and IMS-1, and the nano satellites designed by universities in Canada, Japan, the Netherlands and Germany. ISRO charged $600,000 for launching each of the nano satellites.
