ISRO Reschedules Proba-3 Mission Launch Following Anomaly

Deccan Chronicle  

Tirupati: The Indian Space Research Organisation has put off to 4.12 pm on Thursday, the launch of the European Space Agency’s Proba-3 mission, initially scheduled for Wednesday. ESA Director General Josef Aschbacher said the anomaly occurred in the redundant propulsion system of the Coronagraph spacecraft which was onboard the PSLVC59 mission and currently the scientists were involved in identifying the cause of the incident. The Proba-3 mission signifies a landmark collaboration between ESA and Isro, marking their first joint venture since the launch of the Proba-1 Earth observation satellite in 2001. According to ESA, this mission is the world’s first to demonstrate precision formation flying, involving two satellites – the Occulter Spacecraft and the Coronagraph Spacecraft.
