CHENNAI: Indian Space Research Organisation chairman K Radhakrishnan on Sunday offered prayers at Lord Venkateswara temple in Tirupati for the successful launch of Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV-C 20) scheduled to lift off from Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota at 5.56pm on Monday.
If things go as he'd like, the 23rd mission of PSLV will blast off safely and put seven satellites in space. These include an Indo-French satellite, SARAL, and NEOSSAT from Canada which will detect and track either near-earth asteroids or satellites in the geostationary orbit. Scientists are stepping up efforts to detect such asteroids. The 229.7-tonne, 44.4-metre tall, four-stage rocket will carry a primary pay load of Indo-French satellite SARAL along with six commercial payloads from Austria, Britain, Canada and Denmark. The 59-hour countdown for the launch began on Saturday
