India is all set to script history by launching a record number of 22 satellites in a single mission in May this year. The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO)'s workhorse Polar rocket PSLV C34 carrying India's Cartosat 2C would also have 21 other satellites from countries, including US, Canada, Indonesia and Germany as co-passengers. This was informed by ISRO's Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre Director K Sivan in his media interaction at Trivendrum yesterday. <br/><br/>The launch would be made from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre at Sriharikota. ISRO had earlier sent ten satellites into orbit in a single mission in 2008. US space agency NASA had sent 29 satellites to the orbit in a single launch in 2013, setting a world record.
