Hurray, launch is successful and all 3 satellites separated successfully.

I watched it live..it was moving so fast! 6 to 7 km per second! Everything over in just 15mins!

And satellite is placed so far away to south-west.. i didnt know it wud be placed so far. Almost near to south pole!

WHOOOOOOOOOAAAAAA.........EARTH is covered with satellites!

I am not sure if these satellites will come in a way and cause accidents in future (in like 2300 or so!) when we will be travelling by our personal spacecrafts to moon!

They said that 20kg of onboard fuel was saved because launch was precise and hence that will increase its life but not mentioned how much life has increased!

Expected life is just 5 years! 5 years is too less from my view point!
