India's Commercial Space Program

This is good: India's PSLV (Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle) launches Israel's Earth Imaging Satellite into Orbit as the commercial space program expands:

The launch was executed under a commercial contract between the Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI), to which belongs Tecsar, and the Antrix Corporation, marketing agency of the Department of Space. Antrix has received a handsome amount from the IAI for launching the satellite. Satellite builders from Israel were present at Sriharikota.
This is another example for India's space program which is growing slowly but steadily.
