ISRO Sun Mission

The Suryanar Temple is one of the Navagraha temples, all located near Kumbakonam, and devotees pray at these temples to get rid of negative planetary influence on them.

And on November 5, 2013, the rocket was used for India’s first Mars Mission called Mars Orbiter Mission (MOM). Nearly 15 years after its first flight and on its 25th mission, the rocket code named PSLV-C57 is being used for another interplanetary mission – to study the Sun- by Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO).

Well, that is India’s first rocket Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV). It was on September 20, 1993, that the first developmental flight of PSLV took place carrying the 846kg IRS-1E satellite. Come September 20, 2023, India’s first commercial rocket PSLV would achieve the milestone of three decades of nation’s service.
