India's Space Research Organisation (ISRO) is investigating the failure of its Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV) rocket, specifically the PSLV-DL variant, during the PSLV-C62 / EOS-N1 mission on an unspecified date. This mission, carrying 15 commercial payloads, experienced an anomaly in the rocket's third stage, preventing it from reaching its intended orbit and resulting in the loss of 14 payloads, including the Theos-2 Earth Observation satellite and AyulSat. However, the experimental KID Capsule, designed for de-orbiting and return-to-Earth capability by Orbital Paradigm, survived its descent, transmitting valuable telemetry data despite enduring extreme forces and an off-nominal reentry angle, though it did not deliver customer data. This marks the second consecutive PSLV launch failure for ISRO, following the PSLV-C61 / EOS-09 mission in May 2025, which also suffered third-stage issues, impacting India's reputation as a cost-effective launch provider and potentially affecting its ambitious Gaganyaan human spaceflight program.
