ISRO's PSLV-C62 Faces Anomaly During Third Stage
ISRO launched the PSLV-C62 rocket with 16 satellites.
The main satellite, EOS-N1, is a special satellite for watching the Earth.
There are also smaller satellites for different uses, like taking pictures, using AI, and testing new technologies.
One satellite will even test a way to refuel in space.
Another satellite will test re-entering the Earth's atmosphere.
The launch is important for India's space program because the PSLV rocket is reliable and not too expensive.
But during the launch, something went wrong in the third stage, and the satellites did not reach their correct orbits.
ISRO is now checking what happened.
ISRO's PSLV-C62 mission encountered an anomaly during the third stage of the flight.
The mission carried the EOS-N1 Earth Observation satellite and 15 co-passenger satellites.
The first two stages of the launch performed as expected, but disturbances were observed at the end of the third stage.
ISRO is analyzing the data to determine the impact on the mission and the deployment of the satellites.
The mission was part of a contract secured by NewSpace India Ltd for domestic and international customers.
