PSLV's payload fairing was jettisoned as planned at the end of its second-stage engine burn.
The PSLV-C62 rocket launched at 10:17 local time from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre.
Orbital Paradigm didn't have enough time to collect and transmit all payload data before the PSLV mission ended.
Orbital Paradigm's Kestrel Initial Demonstrator (KID) survived the PSLV mishap and transmitted reentry data before crash-landing on Earth.
The KID capsule separated from PSLV C62.
ISRO plans to review the schedule for upcoming PSLV missions in light of the launch failure.
ISRO reported that the PSLV-C62 performed normally during the initial phases of flight before experiencing an anomaly during the third stage.
Operations of the PSLV will proceed cautiously until the cause of the recent failure is identified and safety is confirmed.
The PSLV has a high success rate and is a main launch vehicle for ISRO.
The KID spacecraft generated useful data during the failed PSLV launch according to OrbitalParadigm.
The PSLV-C62 mission marked the second consecutive failure, following a previous failure in May 2025.
ISRO’s Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV) suffered an anomaly six minutes after launch, causing the rocket to tumble at the end of the third stage engine burn.
Analysis has been initiated to determine the cause of the PSLV-C62 mission failure.
The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) experienced a launch failure of the Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV) on January 12.
The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) reported a performance deviation during the third stage of the PSLV-C62 launch.
An anomaly was encountered during the end of the PS3 stage in the PSLV-C62 mission.
This incident marks the second consecutive failure of the PSLV rocket in less than a year.
A detailed analysis of flight data is underway to determine the cause of the PSLV-C62 mission failure.
A technical failure in the third stage of the PSLV-C62 rocket prevented the payloads from being placed into orbit.
The PSLV-C62 mission failed to reach the intended orbit, resulting in the satellite becoming inoperable.
