Isro’s PSLV-C62 mission failed on January 12 after a problem during the third stage of flight, leading to the loss of all 16 satellites. The PSLV-DL rocket lifted off from Sriharikota at 10:17 am and worked normally through the first two stages. After the third stage ignited, mission control lost telemetry and the vehicle could not reach its planned 505 km orbit. Isro chief V. Narayanan said a “disturbance in roll rates and a deviation in flight path” was noticed. The mission carried DRDO’s EOS-N1 satellite and 15 other payloads. A failure analysis probe has begun.
