꧙The ISRO has rescheduled the launch of PSLV-C59 to Thursday due to an "anomaly" detected in the PROBA-3 spacecraft, the agency announced on Wednesday, minutes before the scheduled launch.
꧋The Bengaluru-headquartered space agency had originally planned the launch at 4.08 pm on Wednesday from the spaceport here.
ꩲ"Due to an anomaly detected in PROBA-3 spacecraft PSLV-C59/PROBA-3 launch rescheduled to tomorrow at 16:12 hours," the space agency said in an update minutes ahead of the lift-off.
⭕Dubbed as the world's first initiative of its kind, the Proba-3 (Project for Onboard Anatomy) consists of two satellites in which two spacecraft would fly together as one, maintaining precise formation down to a single millimetre to study the sun's outer atmosphere.
NewSpace India Ltd, the commercial arm of ISRO 💝has bagged the order from the European Space Agency.
ℱThe significant objective of the mission is 'formation flying in precision' and to study the Sun's outer atmosphere.
