On Thursday, the European Space Agency (ESA) launched the Proba-3 probe, which will explore the Sun, with an Indian rocket.
The launch from the Satish Dhawan Space Center, originally scheduled for Wednesday, was delayed due to technical issues.
The mission will contribute to the understanding of the economic and technological risks of space weather conditions.
Mission Director Jayakumar announced at around 11:58 a.m. CET that the satellite had been launched into orbit.
Riverč is about the new success of the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO), after the landing of the Chandrayaan-3 spacecraft and the launch into orbit of the solar observatory Aditya-L1, which monitors the solar atmosphere, solar magnetic storms and their impact on Earth.
Proba-3 will help the European Space Agency investigate the complex dynamics of the Sun, joining its Solar Orbiter probe.
