India’s space agency ISRO will launch a critical satellite on 4 September, resuming launches after a seven‑month pause.
ISRO has scheduled the launch of a key satellite for 4 September from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota. The mission follows a seven‑month hiatus that began after the failure of a previous launch. The satellite, which is expected to enhance communication and navigation services, will be carried aboard a PSLV rocket. Officials say the launch is part of the agency’s plan to meet growing demand for satellite‑based services across India. The launch window is set for the morning, with a 10:30 a.m. UTC time slot confirmed by ISRO.
