ISRO conducts first successful rocket launching test with payload in Uttar Pradesh

The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) successfully conducted a rocket launching test in Kushinagar, marking the first time a payload was launched via a rocket from the soil of Uttar Pradesh.

• The test conducted on June 14 in collaboration with Thrust Tech India Limited saw the rocket ascend 1.1 km at 5:14:33 p.m., a complete success.
• This test was a prelude to a larger event in October-November, where around 900 youth-built satellites will be tested.
• Unlike previous tests in Ahmedabad using drones, this was the first time a satellite was directly launched by a rocket in U.P., proving entirely successful.
