Countdown for PSLV-C18 launch to begin at 0900hrs on Oct 10

The final countdown for the October 12 launch of India's Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV-C18), which would put into space a Megha Tropiques satellite and three nano satellites, would begin at 0900 hrs on October 10.

Preparations were on for the launch at the spaceport at Sriharikota, about 100 km from here, Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) sources said, adding that the core alone PSLV-C18 (minus the booster strap-on motors) would lift off at 1100 hrs on October 12.

"The satellites were assembled and integrated with the launch vehicle. The heat shield was closed and the first round of tests have been completed," the sources said.

ISRO's just been nailin' it for India. Thank god, corruption seems to have it's boundaries when concerning Space Research. Best of luck to India!

I believe Management students should have a case study on how ISRO works so successfully in-spite of so many hurdles(bureacracy, corruption etc..). I believe there are already case studies on Delhi Metro.

ISRO is one of the few space organizations which have the potential to compete with NASA in the future!!!!!:smitten:
