More happy to know about academic institute satellites. It appears that India's next generation is ready to carry forward the legacy of Great Abdul Kalam...
It is not a typical Indian R&D. ISRO really delivers, in an area Devoloped countries do not share much information. Other R&D s in India generally are interested only in Google search not research, and are in jaunt and junket around the world. Great going ISRO.
Congratulations to the entire team of ISRO and other agencies for this grand success. Few years ago, a launch of PSLV used to hog the limelight and media covering the event for few days. But now, we got habituated to successful launches almost on monthly basis (I started capturing the movement of the rocket from my terrace and saving those videos), that it's a routine activity. But, there is so much of hard work put in by thousands of people for such a regular successful missions. I remember my brother working at SHAR in mid-80's narrating the humiliation they used to face in public places like hotels etc. when there used to be a failed mission. The perseverance had paid off and today, we are generating revenue out of our space program too.
Kudos once again to the Team ISRO and wishing for many more such successful missions.
