New Delhi, Feb 15 (IBNS): Steel Authority of India Ltd. (SAIL) has supplied steel to ISRO for the launch of a record 104 satellites in a single rocket on Wednesday.

In this scientific feat SAIL’s Salem Steel Plant (SSP) has played an important part by way of providing  high quality  stainless steel  for the fuel and oxidizer tanks used in the launch vehicle.

SAIL SSP has supplied steel for the iconic Chandrayan and Mangalyan missions too. 

With this feat of ISRO, India now becomes the first country to script history after launching these record number of satellites in a single rocket.

ISRO’s workhorse rocket PSLV created the record on Wednesday by launching 104 satellites in a single mission from the space centre at Sriharikota in Andhra Pradesh.
