The mission could not be accomplished. After analysis we will come back,&#8221; Isro chairman said.Previous PSLV mission that failed was PSLV-C39 mission to deploy the IRNSS-1H navigation satellite on August 31, 2017. The mission failed due to a malfunctioning heat shield.This is the third failure of PSLV. The first failure was PSLV-D1 launched on September 20, 1993.&#8221;Today 101st launch was attempted, PSLV-C61 performance was normal till 2nd stage.

The mission was significant for multiple reasons \u2014 this was the 63rd overall flight of PSLV, and the 27th using its XL configuration known for carrying heavier payloads.EOS-09 is a radar imaging satellite configured using the RISAT-1 heritage bus and equipped with a Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR). This all-weather imaging capability enhances India\u2019s earth observation assets by supporting a wide array of applications including agriculture, forestry, soil moisture estimation, and disaster management. EOS-09 is essentially a follow-up to the earlier EOS-04, aimed at improving image acquisition frequency and data continuity for operational users.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Isro&#8217;s PSLV-C61\/EOS-09 launch SRIHARIKOTA: The Indian Space Research Organisation&#8216;s (Isro) launch of PSLV-C61, aimed at deploying the EOS-09&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":110837,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3844],"tags":[43649,50302,50301,50300,50299,50298,50297,50296,70,413,50295,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-110836","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-space","8":"tag-earth-observation-satellite","9":"tag-eos-09-satellite","10":"tag-indian-space-research-organisation","11":"tag-isro-chairman-statement","12":"tag-launch-vehicle-performance","13":"tag-pslv-failure","14":"tag-pslv-previous-failures","15":"tag-satish-dhawan-space-centre","16":"tag-science","17":"tag-space","18":"tag-synthetic-aperture-radar","19":"tag-uk","20":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114527030763566742","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/110836","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=110836"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/110836\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/110837"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=110836"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=110836"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=110836"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
