- The PSLV-C37 mission was launched on February 15, 2017 with Cartosat-2D as the main payload along with another 103 satellites as co-passengers.
- The space agency has created history as it was the first mission to launch 104 satellites with a single vehicle.
- The atmospheric re-entry of the rocket body within eight years of its launch is fully compliant with the international debris mitigation guidelines.
- The guideline of Inter-Agency Space Debris Coordination Committee (IADC) recommends limiting the post-mission orbital life of a defunct object in Low-Earth orbit (LEO) to 25 years.
