ISRO achieves zero space debris mission as PSLV burns upon reentry

ISRO has achieved its zero space debris mission after its PSLV Orbital Experimental Module-3 (POEM-3) "met its fiery end" through a reentry into Earth's atmosphere. After PSLV injected all satellites into their orbits under PSLV-C58 mission, the rocket was transformed into POEM-3. It was deorbited from 650 km to 350 km and was made inactive to remove residual propellants.
