The Prime Minister has congratulated scientists and engineers of ISRO on the successful launch of PSLV C-6 today from Sriharikota. In a message, the Prime Minister said:
“I was happy to be informed of the successful launch of the PSLVC-6 carrying CARTOSAT 1 and HAMSAT payloads this morning from the Second Launch Pad at Sriharikota, which was dedicated to the Nation by our President.
This is indeed a significant milestone in the Indian Space Programme. The state-of-the-art Second Launch Pad augments our launch capabilities considerably and reaffirms once again, the emergence of India as a major space power. Space technology and applications have become an integral part of our national development. The launch of CARTOSAT 1 will herald a new era in advanced remote sensing applications. The launch of the smaller HAMSAT will be great boon to the community of amateur radio enthusiasts.
The nation is proud of the achievements of the scientists and engineers of the Indian Space Research Organisation, to whom I convey my congratulations and best wishes for future success.”
