Indian satellite rocket mission faces setback

(MENAFN) India’s latest satellite launch faced difficulties on Monday when the Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV)-C62 encountered an anomaly during its third stage of flight.

The rocket lifted off at 10:17 a.m. local time from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota, but the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) later confirmed that “the PSLV-C62 mission encountered an anomaly during the end of the PS3 stage. A detailed analysis has been initiated.”

The mission was intended to carry EOS-N1—also known as the Anvesha satellite—alongside 15 smaller payloads. Developed by India’s Defense Research and Development Organization, EOS-N1 was designed to provide advanced imaging capabilities, including precise mapping of enemy positions.

This setback follows a similar issue in May 2025, when the PSLV-C61 launch failed due to a third-stage malfunction while attempting to place an earth observation satellite into orbit.
