Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) will launch the country’s latest observation satellite EMISAT tomorrow (Monday).
The launch vehicle PSLV-C45 will lift off from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre, in Sriharikotta at 9:27 AM with EMISAT and 28 other customer payloads. The countdown for the launch mission is progressing smoothly at the launchpad.
The countdown for launch of EMISAT along with 28 foreign satellites began at 06:27 am today.
As part of the countdown process, fuelling of the liquid stages of the rocket PSLV and system checks are going on as per schedule.
This time the rocket will launch the payloads in multiple orbital heights, by switching on the engine at its fourth and final stage four times.
Finally, after ing all the satellites in their transfer orbits, the engine itself will serve as a platform in space for scientific experiments by the country’s three premier research and academic institutions.
The launch will testify not only to the technological prowess of ISRO but also the spirit of innovations in the space agency.
