ISRO’s PSLV-C62 mission, which lifted off on Monday carrying an Earth Observation satellite along with 14 commercial payloads, encountered an anomaly during the third stage of flight, officials said. The performance of the vehicle up to the end of the third stage was expected. However, at the end of the third stage (PS3), the vehicle experienced “disturbances.”The space agency later confirmed on its X account: “The PSLV-C62 mission encountered an anomaly during the end of PS3 (third stage). A detailed analysis has been initiated.”The mission aimed to place the primary Earth Observation satellite and multiple co-passenger satellites into a 512 km Sun-Synchronous Orbit. Authorities said the anomaly is under detailed review to assess the impact on the mission.
