The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) has rescheduled the launch of  Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV)-C59 to Thursday owing to an "anomaly" detected in the PROBA-3 spacecraft, the agency announced on Wednesday, minutes before the scheduled launch.

The Bengaluru-headquartered space agency had originally planned the launch at 4.08 pm on Wednesday from the spaceport in Sriharikota.

"Due to an anomaly detected in PROBA-3 spacecraft PSLV-C59/PROBA-3 launch rescheduled to tomorrow at 16.12 hours," the space agency said in an update minutes ahead of the lift-off.
