On 23 September 2009, India launched seven satellites in a single mission via the PSLV rocket from Sriharikota, including the Indian satellite Oceansat-2 and six foreign nano-satellites from Germany, Switzerland, and Turkey. Oceansat-2 was designed to collect weather data and proved valuable to the Indian Meteorological Department. The successful launch positioned India as a key player in the global space industry, demonstrating its capabilities in low-cost satellite launches for foreign clients.
