"Today, we have attempted the PSLV C62 / EOS - N1 Mission. The PSLV vehicle is a four-stage vehicle with two solid stages and two liquid stages. The vehicle's performance near the end of the third stage was as expected. (However), near the end of the third stage, we are seeing increased d
India on Monday launched its Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV)-C62 mission that carried 'Anvesha' satellite and several other satellites into the sun-synchronous polar orbit (SSO) from Andhra Pradesh's Sriharikota.
India is set to carry out its first space launch of the year today, as the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) prepares to launch the Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV)-C62 mission, said Jawaharlal Nehru Planetarium Director, BR Guruprasad.
Jawaharlal Nehru Planetarium Director, Dr. B R Guruprasad, on Sunday, stated that India is going to conduct its first launch of the year in space on Monday with Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV)- C62.
The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) will launch its PSLV-C62 mission on January 12 (Monday) at 10:17 AM IST from the First Launch Pad at SDSC SHAR, Sriharikota.
"The PSLV-c61 mission faced a setback during the third stage due to a drop in chamber pressure, which impacted the fourth stage performance and led to mission loss. A national-level committee is investigating the cause," Narayanan told ANI.
In a rare setback, the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) faced a mission failure on Sunday as its 101st launch -- EOS-09 aboard the PSLV-C61 -- could not be completed due to technical problems in the third stage of the launch vehicle.
After the Indian Space Organisation's (ISRO) launch of PSLV-C61 aimed at deploying the EOS-09 earth observation satellite failed, Space Strategist PK Gosh said that every launch is learning process.
The flight sequence of the PSLV-C-61 consists of various stages, starting from Ignition of PS1 and PSOM at the ground, to separation of various sections to finally the separation of the satellite from the rocket.
Notably, this launch is also aligned with promoting sustainability and carrying out responsible space operations, as the EOS-09 is equipped with deorbiting fuel for safely disposing it off after the mission.
The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) is set to launch its 101st satellite, EOS-09, aboard the Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV-C61) on May 18, 2025. This would be ISRO's 63rd PSLV flight.
