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. Wake up NASA (or rather, wakeup US Government).
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 call-centers :-)) it would have received more coverage?
