Overview
- The four-stage PSLV-DL lifted off from Sriharikota at about 10:18 IST carrying EOS‑N1 (Anvesha) and 15 co‑passenger satellites on a commercial NSIL mission.
- ISRO reported increased roll-rate disturbance near the end of the PS3 burn and a subsequent deviation from the planned flight path.
- A Failure Analysis Committee has initiated a detailed review of telemetry and ground-station data to determine the cause and mission outcome.
- Multiple media reports, citing ISRO sources, say the satellites were not inserted into the intended orbit, though the agency has not issued a definitive finding.
- The setback comes after a similar third-stage issue on PSLV‑C61 in May 2025, raising near-term reliability questions and affecting national and international customers, including Spain’s KID re-entry demonstrator.
