ISRO asked Indians what they would want to take to the moon if given a chance. Here's what people said.
The space station will be an extension of the Gaganyaan mission.
The launch would take place at 2.51 am on board the GSLV MK-III vehicle from the spaceport of Sriharikota.
The ISRO said PSLV-C46 successfully injected the satellite, RISAT2B, into an orbit of 556 kms.
All modules of Indias second moon mission are scheduled for launch in July.
This mission allowed the country to see women scientists upfront for the first time, dispelling long-held stereotypes of the fuzzy-haired Einsteinian male scientist.
The mission marks several firsts to the credit of the space agency as it would manoeuvre satellites in various orbits and orbital experiments, including on maritime satellite applications.
G Madhavan Nair said when China shot down an ageing weather satellite by launching a missile in 2007, India had the technology to undertake a similar mission.
ISRO says Kalamsat was the lightest ever satellite to be launched by India.
If successful, India will be the fourth nation to achieve the feat after the US, Russia and China.
