There's a little bit of SAIL behind launch of a record 104 satellites in a single rocket by ISRO from Sriharikota, Andhra Pradesh.
In line with once popular baseline of Steel Authority of India (SAIL) that "There's a little bit of SAIL in everybody's life", the state-owned PSU has supplied special steel for ISRO launch of record 104 satellites in a single rocket. "SAIL has once again become true force in transforming the nation by supplying steel to ISRO for the launch of a record 104 satellites in a single rocket on February 15, 2017," the company said.
In this scientific feat SAIL's Salem Steel Plant (SSP) has played an important part by way of providing high quality stainless steel for the fuel and oxidizer tanks used in the launch vehicle, it said.
