\"\"Bengaluru: An Indian rocket, carrying 16 loads of equipment and experiments including an earth surveillance satellite, went off track after liftoff on Monday in a fresh setback to the workhorse launch vehicle of the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO).<\/p>\n

According to Kashmir Media Service, it was a second disappointment for the Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle in about eight months, denting its reputation for reliability, with a more than 90 percent success rate over about 60 past missions.<\/p>\n

The PSLV-C62 lifted off from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre on the island of Sriharikota at 10:18am (04488 GMT) carrying the EOS-N1 observation satellite and 15 other payloads developed by startups and academic institutions in India and abroad.<\/p>\n

The ISRO’s mission control said the rocket performed normally for most of the flight before an unexpected disturbance and deviation from its path.<\/p>\n

“The PSLV-C62 mission encountered an anomaly during the end of the PS3 stage. A detailed analysis has been initiated,” ISRO said in a statement, without giving further details on what had gone wrong or where the rocket ended up. KMS\u201414A<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
