President congratulates ISRO on the successful launch of PSLV-C33 carrying Irnss-1g
New Delhi, Apr 28 (IBNS): President of India Pranab Mukherjee on Thursday congratulated the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) on the successful launch of PSLV-C33 carrying IRNSS-1G, India’s seventh and final in the series of navigation satellites of the Indian Regional Navigation Satellite System (IRNSS).
In a message to A.S. Kiran Kumar, Chairman of ISRO, the President has said, “I extend my hearty congratulations to you and your entire team at the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) on the successful launch of PSLV-C33 carrying IRNSS-1G, the seventh and final in the series of navigation satellites of the Indian Regional Navigation Satellite System (IRNSS)."
"The launch of PSLV-C33 is an important landmark in our space programme with India now joining the small group of nations having their own regional satellite navigation system. It demonstrates, yet again, India’s growing capabilities in space launch technology. The nation is proud of this achievement," he said.
"Kindly convey my greetings to all members of your team and all others involved in this great mission. I wish the ISRO continued success in its future endeavours," Mukherjee said.
PSLV-C33, which is carrying Indian Regional Navigation Satellite System-IRNSS-1G, blasted off from Sriharikota space station here at12.50 p.m.
