ISRO's PSLV-C62 mission experienced a failure during its third stage burn, leading to the loss of its primary payloads, including the DRDO's Anvesha satellite. However, a Spanish startup's experimental re-entry capsule, the Kestrel Initial Demonstrator (KID), successfully separated from the rocket and transmitted telemetry data. The KID capsule, designed to test re-entry technologies, endured extreme forces and heat, marking a significant survival despite the mission's overall setback. ISRO is analyzing the deviation.
