It consists of two spacecraft viz. the Coronagraph Spacecraft (CSC) and the Occulter Spacecraft (OSC), and it will be launched together in a stacked configuration," ISRO said.The launch, initially set for Dec. 4, 2024, at 4:06 p.m. (local time), will now take place on Dec. 5 at 4:12 p.m. from the Satish Dhawan Space Center in Sriharikota, off the Bay of Bengal coast located in the southern Indian state of Andhra Pradesh.
