My Experience of witnessing LIVE launch of PSLV C23 & PM Narendra Modi at Sriharikota.
Indian Space Research Organisation launched its 114th mission, PSLV C-23 successfully. The Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle was launched at 9.52 AM on June 30th, 2014 from Sriharikota carrying five foreign satellites. The launch was attended by our Prime Minister Mr. Narendra Modi. He applauded as PSLV standing around 44.4 metres tall and weighing around 230 tonnes, tore into the bright morning sky with flames fiercely burning at its tail and described it as “global endorsement of India’s space capability”. Prime Minister reached island of Sriharikota on June 29th, Sunday. The peaceful and calm island turned into a power house over night! I always thought of my house in Sriharikota as a weekend resort, being employed in a city. But this weekend of mine turned out to be otherwise. Police, Guards, CISF and SPG forces everywhere. This was the first time I watched the PM's 30 car convoy run by my house. What was big, the launch or PM's presence? I would say both. Launch
