ISRO launches.

ISRO is India's national space agency. PSLV (Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle) is the workhorse — set a record of 104 satellites on a single flight in 2017, flew Chandrayaan-1 and Mars Orbiter Mission. GSLV / LVM3 is the heavy-lift variant carrying Chandrayaan-3 to the Moon and human-rated for the Gaganyaan crewed program. SSLV is the small-launcher. LaunchDetect tracks every ISRO launch from Satish Dhawan Space Centre via JMA Himawari-9 thermal imagery.

Every ISRO launch is independently confirmed by LaunchDetect from NOAA GOES or JMA Himawari geostationary thermal infrared imagery within 30 to 90 seconds of ignition. Independent of any operator press release or broadcast.
