December 4, 2024, Sriharikota: ISRO (Indian Space Research Organisation) is all set to launch the PROBA-3 mission satellites from Sriharikota. The launch is part of India’s efforts to enhance its capabilities in space technology. PROBA-3 is a European Space Agency (ESA)-led mission that aims to demonstrate advanced satellite formation-flying techniques. This mission will involve the deployment of two satellites, which will work together to create the world’s first formation-flying satellite system, useful for future space exploration.
The launch is expected to provide valuable data to improve satellite technology, particularly in the areas of solar observation and the development of satellite constellations. ISRO’s involvement in the launch marks another milestone in its international collaborations and further solidifies its growing role in global space exploration.
This launch is also significant because it showcases ISRO’s expanding capabilities and expertise in supporting international space missions. The launch will take place from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre, Sriharikota, in the upcoming days, and it is expected to contribute to the scientific community’s understanding of space-based technologies.
