This is the picture of India's Polar Satellite launch vehicle, PSLV-C8, carrying 352-kilogram (775 pounds) Italian astronomical satellite AGILE soars into a clear sky.
As soon as i came to know the sucess news of ISRO, i wondered about the bright future for space and aeronautics in India and the day is not so far when "SpaceShuttle" with Indian flag on it takes off from SriHariKota launchpad.
India has successfully entered global space market with PSLV AGILE launch.Team ISRO has reportedly asked for 15,000$ for a Kg payload,less than 30% from their global competetors.At last it was India who won the deal and it let itself thrown open to commercial space market and grabbing contract worth 11m$ .
kudos to ISRO team.. :)
