Continuing its programme of commercial launch of foreign satellites, Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) has lined up launch of an image capturing satellite of France next year, according to Parivakkam Subramaniam Veeraraghavan, director, Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre (VSSC), a unit of ISRO.
Because of our cost effective technology, many developed nations, including France and the US are willing to launch their satellites with our system. Many smaller and mini satellite launching programmes on commercial basis are in offing, Veeraraghavan said while attending the National Technology Day seminar organised by National Aluminum Company (Nalco) here yesterday.
The French satellite SPOT (Satellite Pour l'observation de la Terre) is a high-resolution, optical imaging, earth observation satellite system. Currently SPOT 5 is working in the space and is expected to be withdrawn by the end of 2013. India will launch the SPOT 6 satellite, which will provide continuous high definition images of earth.

good news will add 1 EXP in launching satellite to ISRO, its a huge market if we can count may be there is 10 - 12 country in world with launch capacity and almost 4-7 country have already or currently planning to launch from India due to its cost and efficiency. ISRO must concentrate in one particular field say education where Offers must be provided to those university who would launch from us i am sure in next 25yrs more educational sat will be launched by many university's around the globe.
there is some thing wrong or the gov is hiding some thing.
