Two Singapore satellites sent to space: What is PSLV, ISRO’s workhorse rocket that can ‘write poems in orbit’

ISRO’s Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV) Saturday successfully placed two Singapore satellites into their intended orbits. The satellites are part of the order secured by NewSpace India Ltd, the commercial arm of ISRO, reported PTI. At the end of a 22.5-hour countdown, the 44.4-metre-tall rocket lifted off at the scheduled time of 2.19 pm from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota. The PSLV in its 57th mission has once again demonstrated its high reliability and its suitability for commercial missions of such class.
