India’s Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV) has successfully launched 10 mini-satellites (8 of these are for foreign customers) into the space. The payload includes my home institute's, TU Delft, own nanosatellite - Delfi-C3 :)
Surprisingly, the Indian press has been lukewarm in their coverage of this event.
A few articles from the web:
