ISRO to Resume Launches in September with GISAT-1A Earth-Observation Satellite
The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) plans to resume launches in early September after nearly seven months, with the GISAT-1A Earth-observation satellite aboard the GSLV Mk-II rocket. This mission follows two recent launch failures, including the January 2026 PSLV-C62 mission. GISAT-1A, a replacement for the failed 2021 GISAT-1, is designed for high-frequency imaging to support disaster monitoring and agriculture, with a planned 10-year lifespan. Another satellite, NVS-03, is expected to launch later this year, likely in November.
