ISRO's PSLV Setback: Unveiling the Investigation Behind Rocket Failure

ISRO has formed a committee to investigate the PSLV rocket failure that prevented the Earth observation satellite (EOS-09) from reaching its orbit. Chairman V Narayanan reported discussions underway to identify the cause. The mission anomaly occurred in the rocket's third stage, preventing mission accomplishment.

In the wake of the PSLV rocket's failure to deliver the Earth observation satellite (EOS-09) into orbit, ISRO has swiftly established a committee to probe the incident, Chairman V Narayanan disclosed on Sunday.

The incident unfolded after the rocket lifted off from Sriharikota, with its systems initially performing as expected. However, a third-stage anomaly, characterized by a drop in chamber pressure, thwarted the mission.

Despite the setback, Narayanan announced that ISRO aims to continue its planned launches, maintaining a schedule of one mission per month this year.
