Launch: PSLV-XL C61 - EOS 09 (aka RISAT 1B), CGUSat, Leap-1 (DS) and 3 foreign satellites 18 May 2025

Spoiler: SPECULATION

Was there some mischief done on PSLV due to recent PKMKB done by us?

 

[swesh]

There is launch planned for next month now this will be set back

It's been a lousy year for the space program, the one bright spot being the very impressive spadex docking and undocking, twice each. The Indian private sector satellites launched by Space X were also pleasing.

Surely it seems sabotage. Let c

Anything's possible, but iirc, they were also trying out new tech to reduce space debris(debris-free mission) by rationing fuel for deorbiting.

So who knows, only a proper investigation will reveal what's what.

Issue is we lost satellite also. From last 2-3 mission this is happening, surely some thing impacted quality check. How we move to gaganyaan??

The January GSLV mission failure not withstanding, last PSLV mission in December was a success.

Valve failure in the satellite in the previous launch, and now the entire 3rd stage failure in this launch. This points to quality control issues.

Better to take French service to launch critical sattelites. Our launch rockets seen compromised

Off to Gulag, now

ISRO is a bloody joke. How many fking satellite launches will they botch? Better to outsource all future military satellite launches to SpaceX or the French, since these idiots are unable to control their quality. ISRO needs a complete purge top-down. Can't believe we still have people who think ISRO is better than DRDO

January was partial success.

Shit happens folks,

find out the root cause and correct.

PSLV is a workhorse will very little failure rate

 

[sameer]

Pslv is 90's era tech right, or are they attempting something new? This could be a one off thing...

There is a reason why nasa outsource launches to spacex. Better take service of france to launch our critical sattelites. See the condition of navic.

Does we hv industrial capacity to create another sattelite within month, no.

Funny how these failures happen whenever some strategic satellite launch like RISAT and NAVIC is taking place.....

This simply means root cause is not established, this might mean a sabotage this might means negligence and this might indeed very much mean CIA has men in middle, India easily have most traitors per square kilometres on planet.

But lets see what the cause is provided, I expect not sabotage but negligence here simply because PSLV rarely fails and has better success rates than many “successful” western launch systems.

 

[Aaj Ka Hero]

Man, this was important spy satellite that could help very much in next war or skirmish of which probability is high.
This type of shit is happening with very important satellites too much.

 

[ArjunMK1A]

Armed forces getting lol after lol with their satellite till now. IRNSS series failures, nvs2 failure, Gisat2 and EOS09 failed.

Isro is escaping scrutiny for some time since the end user is military and folks are still in coolaid of how cost effective isro.

The replacement take years to replenish for them due to abysmal launches we are doing every year.

Now imagine 54 SBS sats in next 3 years. I am getting a bad feeling.

Right everytime never being a technical issue. Seems some quality or supply chain has mole.
