Sriharikota: ISRO’s workheors rocket PSLV The malfunction failed to inject a satellite into the classroom after the mid-ups and the early morning on Sunday. Mission, nominated Pslv-c61ISRO’s 101st launch was to give a place to EOS -09 Earth observation satellite In a sunshine-synchronous polar orbit.In 1997, the third unsuccessful PSLV mission was set in 32 years, except for a partial failure. PSLV-C61 picked up the first launch pad at the Satish Dhawan Space Center in Sriharikota at 5.59 am. About six minutes in the flight, the rocket shut down its intended trajectory.
3-step motor malfunction
ISRO president V Narayanan later said that the performance of the rocket was normal till the second phase. “The third phase of the vehicle uses a solid motor system. The chamber pressure in the solid motor was declined and the mission cannot be completed. We are studying the performance,” Narayanan explained the newspapers.Sunday’s mission 1,696kg EOS-09 Radar Imaging satellite was to be placed in 529-km orbit. EOS-09 radar the clouds with agriculture, forestry, soil moisture monitoring, disaster response and monitoring and a synthetic aperture for remote sensing at night.This was ISRO’s second consecutive mission failure this year.The PSLV-C61 was 27th in the 63rd PSLV flight and its XL configuration, designed to carry heavy payloads. PSLV has launched around 345 satellites for 34 countries and was also used in major ISRO missions, including Chandrayaan -1, Mars Orbitter Mission and Astrosat. The first failure in PSLV’s stored history occurred on September 20, 1993 during the first flight of rocket, PSLV-D1. The second was on August 31, 2017 PSLV-C39, which failed to deploy the IRNSS-1H satellite due to the heat shield separation problem. This was ISRO’s second consecutive mission failure in 2025. In January, the NVS -02 navigation satellite could not be taken to its final orbit due to a defective oxidizer valve in its liquid your motor.
