Sir,
This refers to your editorial “ISRO’s another achievement” (DE-June 25). ISRO deserves kudos for successfully launching a rocket carrying a record 20 satellites in one go which includes 2 student satellites from Indian universities and 17 of four foreign countries. This proves that in terms of space technology we are on par with any other developed nation. Our scientists have shown that they are our heart of India who created many milestones. They are really hero of India. ISRO is one public funded institution that is doing very well and showcasing the aspirations of Indian public. ISRO also had many failures but that never bogged it down. We are proud that we have a reliable organisation in our land. Illustrious persons nurtured this institution to its present level of eminence. Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam started from ISRO where he considered FAILURE as the First Attempt in Learning and took the responsibility for failures and success was given to the team. ISRO has never launched so many satellites in a single mission. In June 2008, the PSLV-C10 had carried 10 satellites with itself, which was a world record at that time. Our country is competing with other international players for a greater share of that launch market, and is known for its low-cost space programme.
Yours etc…
