ISRO launched the EOS-09 aboard its trusted rocket PSLV Sunday morning, but had to abort the mission. 2025 is proving to be a tough year for the space agency.
At 4:04 pm, two PROBA-3 satellites took flight onboard PSLV-C59 from Satish Dhawan Space Centre. Mission marks European Space Agency’s return to space launches with ISRO after 2 decades.
DS-SAR, a radar imaging earth observation satellite, is the primary satellite for the mission. There are also 6 co-passenger customer satellites belonging to Singapore.
Main payload is 352-kg DS-SAR used for govt, military & commercial purposes. Others are National University of Singapore’s Galassia-2, NuLIoN, ORB-12 Strider & three built by students.
One of the 18 co-passenger satellites include one from Chennai-based Space Kidz India (SKI) which is engraved with a picture of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
PSLV-C49 lifted off from Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota Saturday at the end of a 26-hour countdown and injected EOS-01 and 9 customer satellites into the orbit.
