India’s PSLV rocket is ready to reclaim its spot in the spotlight after last year’s setback. On January 12, ISRO will launch its 64th PSLV mission, a landmark event for the nation’s space programme and a defining moment for private space players.
Scheduled for 10:17 am from Sriharikota, PSLV-C62 / EOS-N1 will carry 15 satellites, including the secretive Anvesha satellite from DRDO, designed for advanced reconnaissance and precise mapping of strategic targets.
The mission also marks a first for India’s private sector. Dhruva Space from Hyderabad is supplying seven satellites, highlighting the growing collaboration between public and private space initiatives.
