Chennai, Jan 21: Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) will launch an Israeli satellite ‘Polaris’ from the “Satish Dhawan Space Centre” at Sriharikota today.

The 350-kg satellite will be launched by using the “core-alone configuration” of the Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV). This is the second time that PSLV configuration will put a satellite in orbit. In April 2007, PSLV C-8 successfully put Italian satellite Agile in orbit.

“Polaris”, a radar imaging remote sensing satellite, was mated with the vehicle a week ago.
