Narayanan, in an initial statement that points to the loss of the devices, although engineers are still reviewing the telemetry.\n\n\n

PSLV-C62 Rocket<\/h2>\n\n\nThe PSLV-C62 rocket had taken off at 10:17 local time (04:47 GMT) from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre, however, minutes later, a technical failure in the third stage prevented the injection of the devices into orbit.\n\n\n

EOS-N1 Earth Observation Satellite<\/h2>\n\n\nThe mission’s primary payload was the EOS-N1 Earth observation satellite (named ‘Anvesha’), an asset to provide high-resolution imagery, crucial for monitoring the borders with China and Pakistan.\n\nAlongside the Indian “spy” and the Spanish cargo, the mission was carrying devices from clients in Brazil, the United Kingdom, and Nepal, as well as several Indian startup projects, whose business ambitions are now on hold.\n\nThe Indian space agency indicated that the data is being analyzed, without officially declaring the flight a failure at the moment.\n\n\n

Second Consecutive Accident of the PSLV Rocket<\/h2>\n\n\nThis is the second consecutive accident of the PSLV rocket in less than a year, after its only flight of 2025 also ended in disaster due to an identical problem in the third stage.\n\nThis model is also responsible for the country’s greatest space milestones: it launched the first mission to the Moon (Chandrayaan-1), the Mars probe (Mangalyaan), the Aditya-L1 solar observatory, and set a world record in 2017 by putting 104 satellites into orbit in a single flight.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
