ISRO has launched PSLV C16 Successfully

India has launched PSLV C16  Successfully today.

ISRO  has announced as "PSLV-C16 successfully launches RESOURCESAT-2, YOUTHSAT & X-SAT"

It is the 17th successful launch of the PSLV.

This Success  is very important for the ISRO as it was facing some difficulties recently.

  • Last year saw the dramatic back-to-back failures of two of the larger rockets, the Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle, that plunged down into the Bay of Bengal
  • Four ISRO made satellites failed one after the other.
  • The organisation was singed by the S-band corruption scandal when the ISRO-Devas deal was annulled by the government.
