PSLV-C59 rocket launched with European satellites

Chennai: ISRO’s PSLV-C59 rocket successfully launched with European Space Agency’s ‘Propa-3’ satellites.
The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) has been launching not only our country’s satellites but also foreign satellites commercially. Accordingly, the European Space Agency has designed two small satellites named ‘Propa-3’ to study the solar corona. Their weight is 550 kg. Carrying these satellites, the PSLV-C59 rocket was to be launched from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota, Andhra Pradesh, at 4:08 pm yesterday. The 25-hour ‘countdown’ for this began at 3:08 pm the day before yesterday. Yesterday, the rocket launch reached its final stage. Suddenly, at 3:10 pm, ISRO announced that the rocket launch would be postponed and the launch would be at 4:12 pm today. A few hours later, ISRO had announced that the PSLV-C59 rocket carrying the ‘Propa 3’ satellites would be launched at 4:04 pm today. Accordingly, the PSLV-C59 rocket with the ‘Propa 3’ satellites successfully took off at exactly 4:04 pm. Proof of talent
In this regard, ISRO Chairman Somnath said: Congratulations to the Indian and European scientists. The rocket placed the satellites in orbit within 18 minutes of launch. The PSLV-C60 rocket is scheduled to be launched this month. The technically important project has been successfully completed. World leaders have accepted that PSLV means success. Today’s event is a testament to the talent of Indian scientists. He said this. Success
In a statement issued by ISRO, it was said that: PSLV-C59/Propa 3 has achieved its mission objective by placing the European Union satellites in the planned orbit. The performance of PSLV is a testament to the integrated efforts of India’s ‘New Space India Limited’, ISRO and the European Union Space Station. ISRO said in the statement.
