The company said PSLV-C37 was rocketed into orbit using S139 Motor Casings (Middle segments) manufactured by the Aerospace Business Group of L&T and the electronic packages were mounted on upper stage of PSLV-C37 and Heat Shield using honeycomb deck panels.
“The launch of satellites yesterday is a special achievement for L&T, as its Aerospace business unit has been closely involved with this historic effort that helped India become the only nation to launch 104 satellites in space in single mission,” L&T said in a statement.
The company added the honeycomb deck panels were manufactured at L&T's Advanced Composite facility at Vadodara.
“The spacecraft was tracked using a Deep Space Network Antenna at ISTRAC's tracking facility near Bengaluru. This 32m diameter DSN antenna was installed and commissioned by L&T. The Antenna Mount Structure and 13m-diameter Bull Gear (made for the first time in India) were also manufactured by L&T," the company said.
