as a PR hype; hindus can easily forget

1)that 15 kg probe was sent to a highly elliptical orbit which can only touch and go useful imaging spots. Why? that hindu rocket lacks capacity to carry and decelerate the craft into a low rounf orbit

2)Guess wat,chinese 1st successful domestic H2-O2 upper stage was launched almost 30 yrs before hindus did.

Hey, thet PR hype comment is not from me, ask the former hindu space chief
