ISRO Launch Live: In four minutes, the Proba-3 rocket will be launched and will take approximately 18 minutes to reach its desired orbit.

ISRO Launch Live: The Proba-3 rocket comprises of 5 segments, weighing around 30 tonnes each, an ISRO official stated, ahead of the launch of the spacecraft. There are strap on motors attached, which are 1 metre in diameter, with around 12 tonnes of propellant in each of them.

ISRO Launch Live: In the YouTube livestream on ISRO's official channel, the space agency has provided a behind-the-scenes peek into the assembly of the rocket at the Satish Dhawan Space Centre at Sriharikota, Andhra Pradesh.

ISRO Launch Live: The livestream for the Proba-3 launch has begun on ISRO's official YouTube channel. Lift-off will take place at 4:04 pm.

ISRO Launch Live: The Proba-3 launch will be streamed live on the ISRO YouTube channel starting at 3:40 pm, right before the lift-off scheduled for 4:04 pm today.

ISRO Launch Live: The European Space Agency in honour of the launch of the Proba 3 spacecraft soon, posted on social media platform X, dubbing the mission as an “eclipse-maker”, referring to the process by which the Occulter satellite will cover the Sun to allow the Coronagraph to study the outer rim of the star.

The space agency also linked a YouTube video which explains how the rocket will work.


ISRO Launch Live: The collaborative effort between ISRO and the ESA, to study the sun and space weather, Proba-3, will lift-off from the first launch pad in the Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Andhra Pradesh's Sriharikota.

The rocket will carry a 550 kg payload with instruments built into two satellites working in tandem - the Coronagraph and Occulter.

ISRO Launch Live: The Indian Space Research Organisation took to social media platform X, where it has been counting down the minutes until the lift-off of Proba-3. ISRO also shared the flight sequence for the rocket from launch to orbit.

ISRO Launch Live: In one hour, the ISRO and ESA collaboration, the Proba-2 will take flight and will its satellites Coronagraph and Occulter will study the outer rim of the Sun, the Corona.

The Proba-3 will carry a payload of 550kgs in a highly elliptical orbit.


ISRO Launch Live: The PSLV (The Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle) is a launch vehicle which helps carry satellites such as the Coronagraph and Occulter in the Proba-3. It is India's first launch vehicle to be equipped with liquid stages.

The first PSLV was launched successfully in October 1994.

ISRO Launch Live: The Proba-3 which consists of two satellites the Coronagraph and the Occulter, will be studying the outer rim of the Sun, the Corona.

The Corona determines space weather and is much hotter than the Sun.

The Occulter spacecraft would block out the solar disk of the Sun enabling the Coronagraph to observe the Sun's outer rim.

ISRO Launch Live: ISRO's newest spacecraft set to launch soon, Proba, refers to ‘Project for Onboard Anatomy’.

However, the word also means “lets try” in Latin, a fitting term for the novel collaboration between ISRO and the European Space Agency, which will attempt flying two satellites in precision formation, only 150 metres apart from each other.


ISRO Launch Live: The Proba-3, also known as the PSLVC-59's launch will take place in four stages, with the launch vehicle lifting approximately 320 tonnes of mass.

The rocket is expected to reach its desired orbit within 18 minutes.

ISRO Pr Launch Live: The launch of the Proba 3 spacecraft was initially supposed to take place at 4:08 pm on December 4, but was rescheduled by the European Space Agency.

The ISRO confirmed on X that the launch was pushed to December 5 after an anomaly was detected in the rocket's propulsion system.

ISRO Launch Live: The Indian Space Research Organisation, posted on X, announcing that the countdown had commenced for the Proba 3 spacecraft's lift-off at 4:04 pm today.

The Proba-3 mission in collaboration with the European Space Agency will study the sun's outer atmosphere.
