It spawned a new era in the field of cooperation between DRDO, BARC, Navy, PSUs and private industry in which these organizations synergized their efforts to achieve a significant technological and strategic milestone. The Arihant class( nuclear-powered ballistic missile submarines)- INS Arihant (S2), INS Arighat (S3) are built for the Indian Navy by Navy Shipbuilding Centre, Visakhapatnam. The miniaturized naval version of the reactor of 80MWe was designed and built by the Bhabha Atomic Research Centre (BARC) at the Indira Gandhi Centre for Atomic Research (IGCAR) in Kalpakkam. The prototype reactor became critical on 11 November 2003 and was declared operational on 22 September 2006. Several companies supplied components of the reactor.

PSLV blasted off with 3 satellites from India (Cartosat-2, INS-1A, INS-1B) and 101 smaller satellites called Nanosats from US, the Netherlands (PEASS), Israel (BGUSat), UAE (Nayif-1), Kazakhstan(Al Farabi-1) and Switzerland (DIDO-2). Among 101 nanosats from US, 88 Doves are sent by PlanetLabs and 8 “Lemur-2” satellites for weather tracking. By end of 2019, India crossed the milestone of launching 300 foreign satellites (319 to be precise at end of 2019) when PSLV-XL launched 13 nano-satellites. In 10 year s...
