On 12 January 2018, the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) achieved a remarkable milestone by launching its 100th satellite as part of a mission that deployed 31 satellites in a single flight. The launch was conducted from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota, Andhra Pradesh, using the Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV-C40).
The mission carried satellites from various countries, including India, Canada, Finland, France, South Korea, the United Kingdom, and the United States. The primary payload was the Cartosat-2 Series satellite, a high-resolution Earth observation satellite designed for mapping, urban and rural planning, infrastructure development, and disaster management.
The successful mission demonstrated ISRO's expertise in launching multiple satellites in a single mission, showcasing its growing prominence in the global space industry. This achievement further underscored India's position as a reliable and cost-effective provider of satellite launch services.
