ISRO bags more launch contracts

ISRO's expendable launch system, the PSLV rocket, bagged two more launch contracts from US-based commercial weather satellites operator PlanetiQ, since launching 5 UK satellites in July 2015. PlanetiQ's two 10kg satellites will be launched into orbit as secondary passengers of a PSLV rocket in late 2016. ISRO's marketing arm, Antrix Corporation has bagged 9 such launch contracts from the US for 2015-2016.
