ISRO is set to launch 16 satellites in a single mission using its Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV) on January 12, 2026. This mission follows a PSLV failure in May 2025, attributed to a propulsion anomaly. Despite the setback, ISRO has implemented fixes and reaffirms confidence in the PSLV's reliability, citing its 94-95% success rate and versatility for various satellite deployments. The PSLV's cost-effectiveness and adaptability have made it a crucial asset for ISRO's operations and global contracts.
