PSLV

Since September 1993, there have been 64 PSLV launches, of which five missions have failed.

The PSLV is a four-stage rocket that alternates solid- and liquid-propulsion systems between stages.

PSLV-C62 also carried a satellite for Nepal University.

The PSLV-C62/EOS-N1 mission failed to reach its designated orbit on January 12, 2026.

Orbital Paradigm’s Kestrel Initial Demonstrator (KID) transmitted flight data for 190 seconds despite the PSLV-C62 third-stage anomaly.

Indian startup OrbitAID Aerospace had a PSLV-C62 satellite designed to perform an on-orbit satellite refuelling experiment.

Five payloads on PSLV-C62 were from Indian startup Dhruva Space and were co-partnered with university students for technology demonstrations including running large AI models on-orbit.

The primary EOS-N1 payload and the other 14 co-passenger payloads on PSLV-C62 were lost.

During PSLV-C62 controllers detected increased disturbances near the end of the third-stage burn followed by a deviation in the flight path.

During the PSLV-C61 mission there was a reported pressure drop in the third stage, which could have impacted acceleration and might have been caused by a manufacturing defect in some unit.

The PSLV performed nominally during the first two stages of the PSLV-C62 launch, with an anomaly occurring during the third stage.

The PSLV third stage largely operates on pre-programmed guidance and inertial navigation during its burn.

The PSLV-C62 mission carried India’s EOS-N1 Earth observation satellite along with 15 co-passenger satellites from domestic and international customers.

The PSLV-C62 is a four-stage launch vehicle that encountered an anomaly towards the end of its third stage.

The PSLV-C62 rocket launched carrying an earth observation satellite along with 15 co-passenger satellites from domestic and international customers.

A deviation in the vehicle flight path was observed during the launch of the PSLV-C62 rocket.

The PSLV rocket has launched several of India's flagship space missions, including its first lunar and Mars orbiters.

In 2017, the PSLV rocket set a world record by launching 104 satellites in a single mission.
