*ISRO’s Historic Mission Followed by Controlled Re-entry After Eight Years*In a significant development, fragments of India’s PSLV-C37 rocket re-entered the Earth’s atmosphere and landed in the North Atlantic Ocean on October 6, 2024, marking the end of a successful eight-year journey in space. The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) confirmed that the upper stage of the rocket, designated as PS4, safely re-entered Earth’s atmosphere as expected.The PSLV-C37 mission, launched in 2017, made headlines globally when ISRO set a world record by deploying 104 satellites into orbit in a single launch. This mission cemented ISRO’s status as a leading player in the global space industry. While the satellites continue to operate in space, the upper stage of the rocket was bound to return to Earth after completing its mission.ISRO’s compliance with international space debris management guidelines ensured that the re-entry of the rocket was controlled and safe. The organization has been proactive in managing space debris, aligning with global best practices to minimize potential harm to Earth’s environment and infrastructure. The landing of PSLV C37’s debris in the North Atlantic Ocean signifies the conclusion of another chapter in ISRO’s space exploration journey.This controlled re-entry highlights ISRO’s growing focus on responsible space missions and long-term sustainability in space exploration, setting a benchmark for other space agencies around the world.
