PSLV-C9
Today India set a new record in history by putting 10 satellites into orbit in one launch. The PSLV-C9 carried two Indian satellites and eight nano-satellites (developed by university students in Canada, Germany, Japan, Denmark, and Netherlands). It’s also become a booming business as well.
This received exciting coverage on just about every channel, and received lot of attention around the world (just do a google news search for PSVL-C9). Not surprisingly, the least coverage was in the US media. Maybe if it was something more “Indian-like” (like call-centers :-)) it would have received more coverage?
