Video | ISRO releases PSLV's 'selfie' camera footage of 104 satellite seperations

The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) on Wednesday created a new world record by successfully launching 104 satellites in a single rocket from Sriharikota.

The PSLV–C37 rocket with 104 satellites weighing 1,378 kg lifted-off from the first launch pad of Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota at 9.28 a.m. After a flight of 29 minutes, the rocket placed primary satellite Cartosat-2 and 103 co-passenger nano-satellites into their designated orbits.

In the space of 10 minutes, the rocket has emitted 101 nano-satellites into their orbits. The satellites were packed as quart pack - each pack consisting four nano-satellites. They were released in the gap of 4 to 10 seconds to avoid collision.

Below is a video shot by the on-board camera of Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV) showing separation of all satellites in space.
