The workhorse Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle, on its 50th mission, PSLV-C48, is scheduled to lift off from the first launch pad at the Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota at 3:25 pm today, ISRO said.
The rocket carrying Chandrayaan-2 was originally scheduled to lift off on July 15 early morning but was aborted after a 'technical snag' was observed in it.
The announcement comes a day after the fault in the Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle-Mark III (GSLV-Mk III) was rectified.
The Rs 978 crore Chandrayaan-2 mission was a prestigious one as it aimed to make India as the fourth nation in the world to land and ride on the moon after the US, Russia and China.
RISAT-2B is a radar imaging earth observation satellite intended to provide services in the domains of agriculture, forestry and disaster management.
The hyperspectral imaging camera in the satellite can provide well-defined images that can help identify objects on earth far more clearly than regular optical or remote sensing cameras.
The co-passengers of HysIS include 1 micro and 29 nanosatellites from eight different countries.
