The previous PSLV failure involved the third stage of the rocket.

CapabilityGeneralValue 3.0Jan 12, 2026BTW the previous PSLV failure - also involving the 3rd stage - 's investigation results were apparently withheld and not released (last public update was that there was a "manufacturing error"). Maybe they should now?

India's PSLV-C62 mission failed during the 3rd stage burn.

GeneralValue 4.2Jan 12, 2026Oh no, India's PSLV failed again! Like the last flight, the issue occured during the 3rd stage burn, but this time more towards the end of the burn, with it spinning out of control just before shutdown. This is the 2nd failed mission in a row for PSLV.
