President congratulates ISRO on the successful launch of PSLV-C34 New Delhi: President Pranab Mukherjee has congratulated the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) on the successful launch of PSLV-C34, carrying a record 20 satellites in a single mission including the Cartosat-2 series satellite and 19 co-passenger satellites.

In a message to AS Kiran Kumar, Chairman of ISRO, the President has said, “My heartiest congratulations to you and your entire team at the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) for the successful launch of PSLV-C34, carrying a record 20 satellites in a single mission including the Cartosat-2 series satellite and 19 co-passenger satellites.

I understand that images received from the Cartosat-2 satellite will be useful in providing scene-specific spot imagery that can be used for detailed mapping and other cartographic applications as well as applications in Land Information System (LIS) and Geographical Information System (GIS).  The nation is proud of this achievement which has demonstrated, yet again, India’s increasing space capabilities.

Kindly convey my greetings to all members of your team of scientists, engineers, technologists and all others associated with this mission.  I wish ISRO success in all future endeavours”.
