The Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle PSLV-C29 successfully launched six Singapore satellites from India's spaceport at Sriharikotta at 6 this evening. The rocket with the lift-off mass of 227.6 tonne has undertaken its journey in a core-alone configuration as the total payload weight is just above 600 kg. This is the sixth fully commercial launch by ISRO, which has put into orbits 51 foreign satellites successfully so far.<br/><br/>Prime Minister Narendra Modi has congratulated the scientists for successful launch of six satellites today. He tweeted that scientists at ISRO have accomplished another momentous feat. The launch, coming at a time when we mark 50 years of India-Singapore ties is significant. India cherishes strong relations with Singapore, he added in another tweet.
