India launches 10 satellites in a single launch->

Submitted by Argon
Argon writes "From the article: "The ten pack launch of the Indian Space Research Organistion (ISRO) saw the 230-tonne Polar Satellite launch Vehicle (PSLV-C9) carry the heaviest luggage — 824 kgs — and put into orbit an Indian Mini Satellite and eight foreign nano satellites besides the Cartosat-2A remote sensing satellite. ... This is for the first time that ISRO has put ten satellites in orbit in a single launch. This is also PSLV's twelfth successful flight. It is for the first time in the world that ten satellites were launched in a single mission. Russia had earlier luanched eight satellites together. Besides the 690 kg Indian remote sensing satellite CARTOSAT-2A and the 83 kg Indian Mini Satellite (IMS-1), the rest eight Nano Satellites were from abroad."

Another story at http://www.ndtv.com/convergence/ndtv/story.aspx?id=NEWEN20080048092 gives some choice quotes: "PSLV weighs 230 tons — the weight of almost 50 elephants — and is as high as a 12-storey building.". Take that "Libraries of Congress" ;-)."
