Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) is set to launch Europe’s Proba-3 Mission on December 4, 2024. The spacecraft Proba-3 will be launched through PSLV-C59 vehicle.
It is planned to launch from First Launch Pad (FLP), Satish Dhawan Space Centre (SDSC-SHAR), Sriharikota at 4.08 pm.
The European Space Agency (ESA) is working with ISRO ’s commercial arm, New Space India Limited (NSIL), on the Proba-3 mission.
The PSLV-C59 rocket will launch the Proba-3 spacecraft into a highly elliptical orbit as a dedicated commercial mission for NewSpace India Limited (NSIL).
Proba-3, an In-Orbit Demonstration (IOD) mission by the European Space Agency (ESA), aims to showcase precise formation flying. The mission includes two spacecraft: the Coronagraph Spacecraft (CSC) and the Occulter Spacecraft (OSC), which will be launched together in a stacked configuration. The launch is scheduled from the First Launch Pad (FLP) at Satish Dhawan Space Centre (SDSC-SHAR), Sriharikota.
Proba-3 is a technology demonstration mission of European Space Agency (ESA). Proba-3 is ESA’s and the world’s first precision formation-flying mission. A pair of satellites will fly together, maintaining a fixed configuration as if they were a single large rigid structure in space, to prove innovative formation flying and rendezvous technologies.
