Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) has achieved a unique breakthrough in space technology through a successful experiment using the fourth stage of Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV) rocket on Sunday. After placing seven Singaporean satellites into orbital slots, the scientists brought the fourth stage to a lower 300 km orbit by a controlled manoeuvre to effectively mitigate space debris that would typically last for decades and reduce the lifespan of the stage in space to just two months.
It was a double delight for scientists at ISRO on Sunday as the space agency scripted a successful mission and also reaped victory in a unique scientific experiment using the fourth stage of a PSLV rocket. In a dedicated commercial mission earlier in the day, ISRO successfully placed seven Singaporean satellites into intended orbits on board a Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle
