ISRO successfully launches PSLV-C59 rocket with European Space Agency’s Proba-3 satellites

 

 

 

ISRO has finally created history. The European Space Agency’s Proba-3 mission has been successfully launched. Earlier on Wednesday, the Indian Space Agency had postponed the launch due to some technical glitch. ISRO used PSLV-C59 rocket for the launch.

Let us tell you that Proba-3 is the world’s first precision formation flying satellite. Coronagraph and Occulter satellites have been sent into space under the Proba-3 mission. These satellites will study the outer atmosphere of the Sun.

Will study on Corona

The weight of the coronagraph is 310 kg and that of the occulter is 240 kg. Both satellites will revolve in the Earth’s orbit at a distance of 150 meters from each other and will study the corona, the outer atmosphere of the Sun.

The European Space Agency said, ‘The corona is hotter than the Sun and this is where the space environment begins. This is an important subject from scientific point of view.

Important moment for ISRO

After Aditya L-1, the launch of Proba-3 is also an important milestone for ISRO. Now the world also recognizes the strength of ISRO’s reliable launcher PSLV. This mission will help ISRO in scientific experiments related to the Sun.

The instruments on both satellites will analyze the outer atmosphere of the Sun in depth and the satellite will complete one revolution of the Earth in 19 hours. Proba is actually a Latin word, which means let’s try.

The Occulter satellite is fitted with a device that will block the Sun’s bright disk. This process will be like a solar eclipse for the satellite. After this, the corona can be analyzed through the telescope fitted in the coronagraph.
