India's PSLV-C62 Rocket Mission Faces Setback
The Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV)-C62 mission experienced an "anomaly" during the third stage of flight after liftoff at 10:17 a.m. local time (0447 GMT) from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota in Southern India, the Indian Space Research Organization announced.
"The PSLV-C62 mission encountered an anomaly during the end of the PS3 stage. A detailed analysis has been initiated," the agency said on US social media company X.
Prior to launch, ISRO stated PSLV-C62 would transport EOS-N1 alongside 15 co-passenger satellites.
EOS-N1, also known as the Anvesha satellite, was built by India's Defense Research and Development Organization and "designed to provide cutting-edge imaging capabilities, enabling India to map enemy positions with pinpoint accuracy," a public broadcaster said.
In May 2025, India's effort to deploy PSLV-C61, a new earth observation satellite into orbit, collapsed due to a technical malfunction during the third stage of flight.
