ISRO successfully launches ASTROSTAT-1;its first outer space observatory.

India launches Astrosat, Asia’s unique eye in space | Asia Times

Astrosat becomes Asia’s only functioning space observatory as Japan’s Suzaku (Astro-EII) had retired on August 26. It forms part of times space scientists welcome as the ‘golden age of astronomy’ characterized by unprecedented global co-operation and co-ordination in studying the cosmos.

The 1,550-kg Astrosat, the latest major Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) project, is the first satellite in the world capable of studying the universe in the widest yet range of multi-wavelength electromagnetic spectrum.

Besides the European Space Agency, India becomes the fourth country after the US, Russia and Japan to launch a dedicated astronomy satellite or space telescope.

Congratulations to people of India!

China too will be launching its first space observatory in 2016, and Japan will be launching the advanced Astro-H. Japanese Space Agency JAXA reported in April 2015 that all observation instruments have been installed in Astro-H and “preparations for launch are turning the final corner”.

it is a huge achievement...sadly media busy in covering dirty politics and don't cover this kind of achievements.
 
Congratulations to people of India!

Really tell me, will this satellite lift all your 65% poor out of poverty?

Eventhough SUPARCO was established before ISRO we quickly realised that orbital technologies wont help our masses, we concentrated on defence to keep you barbarians away from our land, and other basic needs for the people. This is what is important.

Really tell me, will spending $ 7BN/year on the military, sinking money on WMD delivery systems like Nasr and generally obsessing about India all the time, lift the 110 million people living on $2 a day out of poverty?

We will spend however much we want on improving our country and humanity in general. Why don't you do the same instead of focusing on killing as many Indians as you can?
