ISRO to Launch PSLV-C62 with EOS-N1
ISRO is getting ready to launch a rocket called PSLV-C62 on January 12 from Sriharikota.
The main thing it's carrying is a special satellite called EOS-N1, which was made by the DRDO for important tasks.
There's also a small experiment from a Spanish company and 17 other small payloads from different countries.
People can watch the launch live if they sign up online.
ISRO had a great end to 2025 with another successful launch called LVM3-M6, which put a very big and heavy satellite into space.
This satellite is the biggest and heaviest ever put into Low Earth Orbit by an LVM3 rocket.
The LVM3 rocket has been very reliable and has launched important missions before, like Chandrayaan-2 and Chandrayaan-3.
ISRO's PSLV-C62 mission is scheduled for January 12, 2026, from Sriharikota.
The primary payload is the EOS-N1 imaging satellite developed by DRDO.
The mission includes the Kestrel Initial Demonstrator (KID) from a Spanish startup.
17 commercial payloads from various international entities are also on board.
