<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->The successful launch comes six months after GSLV-FO2 broke up, deviating from its path 65 seconds after take off.

<b>PSLV C-7 carries four satellites -- the 680 kg Indian Remote Sensing Satellite CARTOSAT-2, the 550 kg Space Capsule Recovery Equipment, Indonesia's LAPAN-TUBSAT and Argentina's 6 kg nanosatellite, PEHUENSAT-1.</b>

CARTOSAT-2 is the 12th in the Indian Remote Sensing Satellite series and carries a state-of-the-art panchromatic camera, with a spatial resolution of 1 mt and a solid state recorder with a 64 giga byte storage capacity.

<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->SRE-1, a joint effort between the Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre and ISRO Satellite Centre, is intended to demonstrate the technology of orbiting platform for performing experiments in microgravity conditions and recovering the same after completion of the experiments.

The SRE-1 takes India into an elite club of countries that have satellite re-entry technology. The space flight will stay in orbit for between 13 and 30 days and is expected to splash down into the Bay of Bengal for recovery.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
