The Indian Space Research Organisation said it successfully carried out an "extremely challenging" controlled re-entry experiment of the decommissioned orbiting Megha-Tropiques-1 (MT-1) satellite on Tuesday. "The satellite re-entered the Earth's atmosphere and would have disintegrated over the Pacific Ocean," the Bengaluru-headquartered national space agency said on Twitter.
