A BBC article (view video clip) notes that the launch grants India membership in the exclusive group of nations that can sustain commercial satellite launches. India's launch vehicle has less overall capacity than the competition — up to 1,500 kg to orbit — but the country plans to sweep the low end of the market by offering the lowest cost per launched kilogram for smaller payloads."<p><a href="http://science.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=07/04/24/1835207&from=rss">Read more of this story</a> at Slashdot.</p>
