The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) experienced a setback when its PSLV-C61 launch vehicle failed to place the EOS-9 surveillance satellite into orbit. The incident occurred after a drop in chamber pressure during the third stage of the launch, a situation highlighted by ISRO chief V Narayanan. While ISRO is known for its successful low-cost missions, this was a rare failure that follows a series of accomplishments, including India's moon landing in 2023. ISRO is committed to thorough investigations before resuming its ambitious space endeavors.
During the third stage of the PSLV-C61 launch, we experienced a fall in chamber pressure of the motor case, leading to mission failure, ISRO chief V Narayanan stated.
ISRO has faced previous setbacks in PSLV missions, but we are committed to analyzing today's performance and will return to achieve our objectives as soon as possible.
