By our Special Correspondent

In an achievement for India’s space program, the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) successfully launched its workhorse rocket, the Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV), with the European Space Agency’s (ESA) Proba-3 mission on board. The launch, which had been delayed a day earlier due to an anomaly detected in the satellite system, lifted off smoothly from Sriharikota, marking a significant milestone in Isro’s commercial space endeavours.
