ISRO Chief Says PSLV Launch Failure Will Not Affect Gaganyaan Mission Timeline

ISRO Chairman V Narayanan stated that the recent failure of the PSLV-C62 mission, which experienced a flight path deviation near the end of its third stage, will not delay the Gaganyaan mission. He emphasized that the two programs are independent, and ISRO is currently investigating the PSLV anomaly. The PSLV-C62 mission aimed to deploy the Anvesha EOS-N1 satellite and co-passenger satellites but encountered disturbances during the third stage burn, prompting detailed analysis.
