The PSLV-C62/EOS-N1 Mission encountered an anomaly during end of the PS3 stage, following lift-off on Monday (January 12, 2026). A detailed analysis has been initiated, ISRO said

“Today we attempted the PSLV-C62/EOS-N1 Mission. The PSLV is a four stage vehicle with two solid stages and two liquid stages. The performance of the vehicle upto the end of third stage was as expected, close to the end of the third stage we are seeing little more disturbance in the vehicle roll rates and subsequently there is a deviation observed in the flight path we are analysing the data and we shall come back at the earliest,” ISRO Chairman Dr. V Narayanana said.

After a 22.5-hour countdown, the PSLV-C62 with the EOS-N1 satellite and 15 co-passenger satellites developed by startups and academia from India and abroad lifted off from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota at 10.18 a.m.

The EOS-N1 earth observation satellite is said to be built for strategic purposes. “It is a commercial mission of NewSpace India Limited (NSIL). EOS-N1 and 14 co-passenger satellites will be injected into a Sun Synchronous Orbit, and the KID Capsule into a re-entry trajectory,” Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) said.

It added that after the injection of EOS-N1 and 14 satellites, the PS4 stage will be restarted to de-boost and enter a re-entry trajectory, followed by KID Capsule separation. “Both PS4 stage and KID capsule will re-enter Earth’s Atmosphere and impact will be in the South Pacific Ocean,” the ISRO said.

The 15 other co-passengers are: Theos-2 Earth Observation satellite built jointly by Thailand and UK SSTL (UK), CGUSAT by Dhruva Space (India), DSUSAT by Dhruva Space, MOI-1 by Dhruva Space and Takeme2Space (India), LACHIT by Dhruva Space, Thybolt-3 by Dhruva Space and Don Bosco University (India), Munal by Nepal university Antharkshya Pratishtan (Nepal) and MEA, GoI, KID by Orbital Paradigm (Spain) and RIDE! (France), Edusat by AlltoSpace (Brazil), Uaisat by AlltoSpace, Galaxy Explorer by AlltoSpace, Orbital Temple by AlltoSpace, Aldebaran-1 by AlltoSpace, Sanskarsat by Laxman Gyanpith (India) and AyulSat by OrbitAid (India).

Back to back PSLV failures for ISRO

On May 18 2025, while ISRO attempted to launch the EOS-09 satellite aboard the PSLV-C61 it could not accomplish the mission due to an observation in the third stage of the rocket.

The launch of the PSLV-C62/EOS-N1 mission is the 105th launch from Sriharikota. It was also the 64th flight of PSLV and the fifth mission of the PSLV-DL variant.

Bengaluru:

ISRO on Monday said its latest earth observation satellite EOS-08 will now be launched onboard the third and final developmental flight of its Small Satellite Launch Vehicle (SSLV)-D3 on August 16.

The space agency had earlier announced that the launch will be on August 15.

ISRO did not cite any reason for the delay.

The primary objectives of the EOS-08 mission include designing and developing a microsatellite, creating payload instruments compatible with the microsatellite bus and incorporating new technologies required for future operational satellites, the Bengaluru-headquartered national space agency said.

“SSLV-D3/EOS-08 Mission: The launch of the third developmental flight of SSLV is scheduled for August 16, 2024, in a launch window of one hour starting at 09:17 Hrs. IST,” ISRO posted on social media platform X.

The launch is from Satish Dhawan Space Centre, Sriharikota. The mission completes the SSLV Development Project and enables operational missions by Indian industry and NewSpace India Limited (NSIL).

Built on the Microsat/IMS-1 bus, EOS-08 carries three payloads: Electro Optical Infrared Payload (EOIR), Global Navigation Satellite System-Reflectometry payload (GNSS-R), and SiC UV Dosimeter.

The spacecraft has a mission life of one year. It has a mass of approximately 175.5 kg and generates power of around 420 W. The satellite interfaces with the SSLV-D3/IBL-358 launch vehicle, ISRO said.

The EOIR payload is designed to capture images in the Mid-Wave IR (MIR) and Long-Wave IR (LWIR) bands, both during the day and night, for applications such as satellite-based surveillance, disaster monitoring, environmental monitoring, fire detection, volcanic activity observation, and industrial and power plant disaster monitoring, according to the space agency.

The GNSS-R payload demonstrates the capability of using GNSS-R-based remote sensing for applications such as ocean surface wind analysis, soil moisture assessment, cryosphere studies over the Himalayan region, flood detection, and inland waterbody detection.

The SiC UV Dosimeter monitors UV irradiance at the viewport of the Crew Module in the Gaganyaan Mission and serves as a high-dose alarm sensor for gamma radiation.

According to ISRO, EOS-08 marks a significant advancement in satellite mainframe systems such as an Integrated Avionics system, known as the Communication, Baseband, Storage and Positioning (CBSP) Package, which combines multiple functions into a single efficient unit.

“This system is designed with cold redundant systems using commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) components and evaluation boards, supporting up to 400 gb of data storage. Additionally, the satellite includes a structural panel embedded with PCB, an embedded battery, a Micro-DGA (Dual Gimbal Antenna), an M-PAA (Phased Array Antenna), and a flexible solar panel, each serving as key components for onboard technology demonstration, it said.
