India launched on Monday a PSLV-C9 rocket carrying 10 satellites, a record number for the country's space program, national television reported.

The Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) carried out the launch from the Sriharikota island in the Bay of Bengal.

PSLV-C9, in its thirteenth flight, delivered into polar sun-synchronous orbit two domestic satellites and eight foreign spacecraft, including nanosatellites belonging to Canada, Germany, Denmark, Japan and the Netherlands.
