The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) will launch a PSLV rocket that will place an earth observation satellite along with 14 other co-passenger satellites into orbit, marking the space agency’s first launch of the year.
The PSLV-C62 rocket, with a lift-off mass of 260 tonnes, is scheduled to lift off at 10:18 hours today.
The PSLV-C62/EOS-N1 mission is expected to deploy the satellites into a sun-synchronous orbit around 17 minutes after lift-off.
PSLV has completed 63 flights so far, including the ambitious Chandrayaan-1, Mars Orbiter Mission, and Aditya-L1 mission.
The previous launch of a PSLV rocket was the PSLV-C61 Earth Observation Satellite 09 mission, which took place on May 18, 2025.
