India commercial rocket takes off India's first commercial rocket has been launched into space. The rocket, a Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV), took off from the Sriharikota base in southern India at 1530 Indian time (1000 GMT). It is carrying a 352kg Italian satellite which will gather information about the origins of the universe, the AFP news agency reports. India's space programme includes an unmanned mission to the moon which is due to take place next year. 'Twenty-three minutes' "The payload will be separated from the vehicle in its orbit 23 minutes after the takeoff," a spokesman for the Bangalore-based Indian Space Research Organisation said before the launch. The PSLV model rocket was first launched in 1994. It puts satellites into orbits where they cross above the earth's poles. Reports say that India is being paid $11m to launch the Italian satellite.
