Pakistan, January 12 — India’s Earth-observation satellite launch mission encountered a failure on Monday due to a rocket malfunction. The launch vehicle deviated from its intended trajectory shortly after takeoff. Consequently, the mission that was carrying several satellites could not be finished.

As reported by international media, the rocket was transporting an Earth observation satellite along with 16 additional cargo items. The deviation led to the failure of the entire mission. As a result, all equipment on board was lost in the accident.

The unsuccessful launch has delivered another setback to the Indian Space Research Organisation. Additionally, this is the second failure of the Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle within eight months. As a result, questions have arisen about the rocket’s dependability.

The PSLV-C62 rocket launched at 10:18am from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre. It transported the EOS-N1 satellite along with 15 additional payloads. These included items created by startups and academic organizations from both India and other countries.

ISRO stated that the rocket functioned correctly throughout most of its journey. Nevertheless, a technical issue arose at the conclusion of the PS3 stage. Consequently, the rocket deviated from its path, and a thorough examination is currently being conducted.
