ISRO’s<\/a> PSLV-C59 mission, carrying the European Space Agency’s Proba-3 satellites<\/a>, was successfully launched on December 5, 2024, from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota. The launch, initially delayed by a day due to an anomaly, occurred at 4:04 PM IST. The mission’s objectives, including deploying the satellites into their designated orbit, were achieved with precision, according to ISRO Chairman S. Somanath.<\/p>\n

Mission Objectives and Achievements<\/h2>\n

The Proba-3 mission is a part of ESA’s<\/a> in-orbit demonstration initiatives. It comprises two spacecraft designed to perform precise formation flying, achieving control down to a single millimeter. Details shared by ESA reveal that the satellites will create artificial solar eclipses in orbit, enabling extended studies<\/a> of the Sun’s corona.<\/p>\n

Shortly after separation, the Yatharagga ground station in Australia confirmed receiving signals from the satellites, a per several reports. Telemetry data is being processed at ESA’s mission control center in Redu, Belgium. Josef Aschbacher, ESA’s Director General, described the successful liftoff as a significant step for the mission’s objectives, in a statement..<\/p>\n

Operational Plans for Proba-3<\/h2>\n

The satellites, stacked together during launch, will remain connected during their initial commissioning phase. ESA’s Proba-3 mission manager Damien Galano noted that the operational phase, involving individual check-outs and formation flying, is expected to begin in early 2025. This phase will include observing the Sun’s corona through coordinated manoeuvres by the twin spacecraft<\/a>.<\/p>\n

PSLV-C59: Milestone for ISRO<\/h2>\n

This mission marks the 61st flight of the Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle and the 26th in its PSLV-XL configuration. The vehicle has once again demonstrated its reliability, further strengthening its reputation as a dependable medium-lift launch vehicle for international clients.<\/p>\n
