Gandhi said the "illustrious accomplishment" has added one more feather in the cap of the country's hard working scientists.

The space agency on Wednesday scripted history by successfully launching a record 104 satellites, including India's earth observation satellite, on a single rocket -- the workhorse PSLV-C37 -- from the spaceport at Sriharikota in Andhra Pradesh. This is the highest number of satellites ever launched in a single mission.
