Le lancement du satellite radar d'observation de la Terre EOS-09 par l'Inde a échoué en raison d'une performance insuffisante du troisième étage de la fusée #PSLV, empêchant ainsi son placement en orbite.
1er échec de la PSVL depuis 2017 et après 21 vols réussis

Europe says farewell to eclipse-making Proba-3
"
"The mission’s two spacecraft – which will manoeuvre precisely in Earth orbit so that one casts a shadow onto the other – have departed the facilities of Redwire Space in Kruibeke, Belgium. The pair will be flown to the Satish Dhawan Space Centre, near Chennai, for the launch campaign to begin."

www.esa.intEurope says farewell to eclipse-making Proba-3ESA’s solar eclipse-making Proba-3 mission is about to leave Europe, to head to its launch site in India. The mission’s two spacecraft – which will manoeuvre precisely in Earth orbit so that one casts a shadow onto the other – have departed the facilities of Redwire Space in Kruibeke, Belgium. The pair will be flown to the Satish Dhawan Space Centre, near Chennai, for the launch campaign to begin.

It has a name as well!
'Li-Ligh' which is acronym for 'Left India, Landed in Green Head'

With key test done, Proba-3 will be shipped to SDSC-SHAR in India on 21 October for a planned launch by PSLV-XL launcher on 29 November 2024.

ISRO conducts 665 second long-duration hot test
of Additively Manufactured #PSLV fourth stage (PS4) Liquid Engine.
https://www.isro.gov.in/ISRO_successfully_conducts_long-duration_hot_tests.html
PS4 engine design optimized for #AdditiveManufacturing by the Laser Powder Bed Fusion technique brought down the number of parts from 14 to 1, and eliminated 19 weld joints. Raw material usage reduced (13.7 kg of metal powder) compared to the 565 kg of forgings and sheets for conventional manufacturing process) and production time reduced to 60%.
New Carbon-Carbon nozzle for PSLV fourth stage (PS4)
"(…) The PS4, the fourth stage of the PSLV, currently employs twin engines with nozzles made from Columbium alloy. However, by replacing these metallic divergent nozzles with C-C counterparts, a mass reduction of approximately 67% can be achieved. This substitution is projected to increase the payload capability of the PSLV by 15 kg, a notable enhancement for space missions"
