PSLV-C16 Launched Successfully

ISRO has successfully launched PSLV-C16, deploying 3 satellite payloads with perfect precision. Hopefully, this will get ISRO back on track to successfully flying the GSLV, the GSLV Mk-III, the Chandrayaan-2 mission, as well as the first indigenous manned spaceflight.



Scenes of the PSLV-C16 before its launch:



Here's also a little video I found, produced by GOI on Chandrayaan:

san, your faith is touching. the moon mission is not indigenous. russia is part of it and without the russians, isro is helpless. in the first video you posted, go to 0:35 and listen to the anchor say that the satellite has been built by india and russia. it is pretty much the same story for the rockets as well. in fact, india has a better satellite building capability than a rocket building capability, and needed russian help even there. russia's participation in the "indigenously built" moon mission will include the moon lander module.

Dude why are you spitting venom against ISRO every time?pslvs solid boosters(also gslvs &gslv mark3s)are a result of research in sounding rockets(rohini series)and first 2 slvs(ASLV&SLV).Now we stand among leading countries in this technology with worlds third largest SRB(RUSSIA USES SEMI CRYO BOOSTERS INSTEAD OF SRBs).Vikas is a result of indian research in project devil and project valiant.lander is russian but rocket(prob gslv mark 30 will be indigenous.
