Sri Hari Kota, India (AHN) – In an attempt to get global commercial space market’s share, India on Wednesday launched three satellites in a single rocket into orbit.

The rocket was carrying a remote-sensing Resourcesat-2 to study human life’s effect on the planet’s natural resources, an Indo-Russian satellite for atmospheric and stellar studies and imaging orbiter. The rocket launch was made from Andhra Pradesh’s Sriharikota space center.

Indian Space Research Organization Chairman K Radhakrishnan welcomed the launch and described the Resourcesat-2 mission as successful.
