Sriharikota: The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) is all set for the highly anticipated launch of the PSLV-C59/PROBA-3 mission satellites on December 4th (Wednesday) at 4:06 p.m.. The launch will take place from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota, Andhra Pradesh.

The mission will use the trusted Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV)-C59 to carry payloads weighing approximately 550 kg into a highly elliptical orbit. This mission is significant as it marks another milestone in ISRO’s commitment to facilitating cutting-edge space technology for international collaborations.

The highlight of this launch is the PROBA-3 mission, an "In-Orbit Demonstration (IOD) mission" developed by the European Space Agency (ESA). PROBA-3 aims to test and validate advanced satellite technologies, particularly in precision formation flying. This mission is expected to contribute valuable insights into future satellite formation missions.

ISRO’s PSLV, known for its versatility and reliability, will once again prove its mettle in delivering satellites into precise orbits. The highly elliptical orbit planned for this mission will allow for unique observations and experimentation, further enhancing the scope of satellite capabilities.

As ISRO continues to solidify its position as a global leader in space technology and launches, this mission underscores the organization’s dedication to pushing the boundaries of innovation while fostering international partnerships in space exploration.

Space enthusiasts and professionals alike are eagerly awaiting this landmark event. With ISRO’s proven expertise and the innovative scope of PROBA-3, the mission is poised to achieve significant advancements in satellite technology.

Stay tuned tomorrow at 4:06 p.m. to witness another leap in space exploration from ISRO!
