She had been licensed to drive the big rig since May, and told police she still wasn’t too confident backing the thing up. Sanders said the driver will at least have to pay 5 for disregarding a posted sign, reported The Associated Press .
Isro’s most-trusted rocket and workhorse launch vehicle PSLV-C29, in its thirty-second flight, will carry these six satellite to be thrust into 550-km circular orbit after its takeoff at 6 pm from the launch pad in Satish Dhawan Space Centre.

Over 50 killed in Borno, Adamawa Boko Haram attacks
Another twin suicide bombing killed at least 30 people in Madagali, a town 95 miles south-east of Maiduguri, witnesses said. The terrorists attacked the city “with rocket-propelled grenades and multiple suicide bombers”, witnesses said on Monday.
“Yes countdown is progressing normally”, an official told PTI.
ISRO successfully switched on and off the rocket’s fourth stage/engine 46 minutes after it delivered the satellites in space. The vehicle will fly in its “core-alone” configuration – without the use of solid strap-on motors (this marks the 11 time this version of the PSLV has been used).
Mukherjee requested the ISRO chief to convey his greetings to all of the scientists, engineers, technologists and others related to the “nice mission”. Constructed around a LEOS-50 bus developed by Germany’s Berlin Space Technologies, this microsatellite carries a medium-resolution hyperspectral imaging payload with two imagers that provide resolutions of 44 and 110 metres (144 and 361 feet) with swath widths of 48 and 56 km (30 and 35 miles). Initially called the Sriharikota Range (SHAR) and renamed Satish Dhawan Space Centre (SDSC) in 2002, the space port became operational in 1971 when an RH-125 sounding rocket was launched.
Five smaller piggyback satellites were also launched. In September, four American, one Canadian and one Indonesian satellite were launched along with India’s Astrosat as the primary passenger.
An ISRO official was quoted by IANS saying: “It is a commercial launch”.
The satellites included two National University of Singapore (NUS)’s satellites built and designed by students, researchers and faculty.
Putting foreign satellites into orbit successfully has become a matter of course for ISRO.
The satellite can capture images of Singapore once every 100 minutes and tracks threats in the sea and air as well as natural disaster across the region. These six satellites were launched as part of the agreement entered into between ST Electronics (Satcom & Sensor Systems), Singapore and Antrix Corporation Limited, the commercial arm of the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO), a Government of India Company under the Department of Space (DOS).
