SHIRDI: S Veeraraghavan, directer of Vikram Sarabhai Space Center , who recently visited the famous Saibaba temple here, said he had come to "thank" for the ISRO'S 100th successful mission.

"We scientists and engineers do our best and leave rest to the God. After the mission, I thought I should come here, take his blessings, and particularly after this very successful mission, I should be thanking for the success," Veeraraghavan said, after visiting the temple on Friday night.

Last Sunday, Indian Space Research Organisation's launch vehicle 'PSLV-C21' placed in orbit two foreign satellites -- French spacecraft SPOT 6 and Japanese micro satellite PROITERES -- from Sriharikota.
