US Edition"Studying Entire Performance," Says ISRO Chief V Narayanan After EOS-09 Satellite Launch Mission Fails
- ISRO launched the EOS-09 Earth observation satellite on Sunday, May 18, 2025, from Sriharikota, but the mission failed due to an anomaly in the third stage of the PSLV-C61 rocket.
- The mission encountered a drop in chamber pressure during the third stage solid motor, which prevented the satellite deployment despite normal performance of the first two stages.
- EOS-09, a repeat of the 2022 EOS-04 satellite, was designed with a synthetic aperture radar payload to provide all-weather, day-and-night remote sensing data for applications like agriculture and disaster management.
- ISRO Chairman V Narayanan confirmed that the agency is thoroughly examining the mission's results and will provide an update as soon as the investigation is complete following the 101st PSLV launch attempt.
- The launch failure indicates a setback in fulfilling EOS-09’s mission objectives, but ISRO’s tracking and analysis efforts may enable improvements for future remote sensing satellite launches.
