The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) is all set to conduct the PSLV-C62 mission, with liftoff scheduled at 10:17 am IST from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre (SDSC), Sriharikota. The mission will deploy Anvesha (EOS-N1) along with 15 co-passenger satellites, marking another significant step in India’s expanding Earth observation and small satellite launch capabilities.

Anvesha (EOS-N1): Strengthening Earth Observation Capabilities

The primary payload, Anvesha (EOS-N1), is an advanced Earth Observation Satellite designed to enhance India’s ability to monitor land, coastal regions, and environmental changes. The satellite is expected to support applications such as urban planning, disaster management, agricultural assessment, and climate monitoring, reinforcing ISRO’s focus on practical, real-world satellite use.

15 Co-Passenger Satellites Reflect Growing Commercial Demand

In addition to EOS-N1, the PSLV-C62 mission will carry 15 smaller satellites, including nanosatellites and CubeSats from academic institutions, startups, and international customers. This highlights ISRO’s increasing role as a reliable and cost-effective launch partner for global small-satellite missions.

PSLV-C62: Proven Reliability Meets Precision Engineering

The Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV) continues to be ISRO’s most dependable launcher, known for its pinpoint orbital accuracy and consistent success rate. For this mission, PSLV-C62 will place all satellites into their designated orbits in a carefully planned sequence, demonstrating the vehicle’s capability to handle complex multi-payload deployments.

Live Launch Coverage and National Anticipation

ISRO is providing live coverage of the PSLV-C62 launch, allowing space enthusiasts, students, and researchers to witness the mission in real time. As the countdown progresses, excitement is building across the country, with the launch symbolising India’s growing stature in the global space ecosystem.

Boost to India’s Space Economy and Startup Ecosystem

Missions like PSLV-C62 align with India’s broader vision of promoting space commercialisation and private participation. By enabling multiple payloads on a single launch, ISRO continues to support innovation, reduce launch costs, and strengthen India’s space startup ecosystem.

What’s Next After Liftoff

Following a successful launch, ISRO will focus on satellite health checks, orbital stabilisation, and payload commissioning. EOS-N1 is expected to begin transmitting data shortly after deployment, while the co-passenger satellites will start their respective missions in low Earth orbit.
