The beginning of January 2026 has been very bad for India’s space mission and the reason for this is that ISRO’s 64th space mission has failed in the third stage. Due to this, Anvesha satellite made by Defense Research and Development Organization (DRDO) along with 15 other satellites have also been lost in space, which is being considered a big blow for India.

The most reliable rocket of Indian Space Research Organization i.e. ISRO is PSLV, its full name is Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle. The world also recognizes the efficiency of PSLV because its success average is more than 95 percent. Through this, 63 missions of ISRO have been completely successful. Be it Chandrayaan-1 or Mangalyaan, Aditya-L1 or Astrosat, PSLV has successfully completed its missions. Apart from this, in the year 2017, PSLV had also created a world record by launching 104 satellites simultaneously.

A total of 16 satellites were to be launched from PSLV-C62.

In view of this success, PSLV-C62 was launched on Monday (January 12, 2026) from the space center in Sriharikota, Andhra Pradesh. There were a total of 16 satellites with it. One of these satellites was EOS-N1 built by DRDO, which was called Anvesha in common language. Satellite was an important weapon for the Indian Army, through which Pakistan and China could be monitored and intelligence information could be gathered.

This satellite could monitor the enemy country even from a height of 600 km from the earth, could capture photographs and could create new routes for the Indian Army. There were also 14 satellites with this PSLV, which were to be installed in Sun-Synchronous Orbit i.e. SSO at an altitude of 512 km from the earth.

At which stage did India’s space mission fail?

This entire mission was of 6485.14 seconds, in which there were a total of four stages. PSLV continued to work properly for two stages, but in the third stage there was a malfunction around 494 seconds and PSLV got lost in space. Along with this, its satellites also got lost in space.

Elaborating on this incident, ISRO Chairman Dr. V. Narayanan said that there was a disturbance in the third stage of the rocket launching, due to which it lost its way.

India suffered a loss of Rs 800 crore due to mission failure

It is believed that due to this failure, India has suffered a loss of about Rs 800 crore. However, this is not the first time that ISRO has suffered such a big setback. Even before this, the same thing had happened with ISRO’s PSLV-C61 mission on May 18, 2025. Even then, an important satellite earth observation of India was going in that mission, which was to be established in sun-synchronous polar orbit 524 km above the earth. Even then it was going smoothly for two stages and due to losing its way in the third stage, it too was lost in space.

Repeated failure of PSLV may affect ISRO

ISRO has suffered a major setback due to failure of two consecutive missions of PSLV and now ISRO is investigating it again, but this failure has raised questions on ISRO. Because this time the Anvesha satellite which was with PSLV was a very important satellite for the Indian Army. Now even that satellite is no more. In such a situation, ISRO used to take satellites of countries around the world into space through PSLV, now other countries will think twice before handing over their satellites to ISRO. Apart from this, ISRO also has missions like Gaganyaan and Chandrayaan this year, which may suffer a setback due to this failure of ISRO.

The Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) unveiled a model of the Indian Space Station (BAS) module during the two -day National Space Day celebrations started in New Delhi on Friday (August 22, 2025). India plans to launch the first module of its own manufactured space station, BAS by 2028. With this, India will join the group of selected countries that operate orbital laboratories.

Currently, there are two orbital laboratories- the International Space Station (ISS) operated by five space agencies and the Tiangong space station of China. Under its ambitious plans for the space sector, India is planning to set up five modules of the Indian space station by 2035.

450 km above will be installed in the lower orbit of the earth

The BAS-01 module is expected to weigh 10 tonnes and will be installed in the lower orbit of the Earth 450 km above the Earth. Its main features include indigenously developed environmental control and life support system (ECLSS), India Docking System, India Birthing Mechanism, Automatic Hatch System, Micro -Gravity Research and Platforms for Technology Performance, Scientific Imaging and Audowment for Covenant’s Entertainment.

The Indian space station will also have all the things like propulsion and ECLSS fluid recurrence, radiation, thermal and subtle meteorial orbital debris (MMOD) protection, space suits.

Will give a chance to test the necessary techniques

The BAS is expected to act as a research platform for the study of various aspects of space, life science, medical and internal explorations. This will provide an opportunity to study the effects of subtle gravity on human health and test the techniques required for long -term human presence in space.

Space station will promote space tourism

This space station will promote space tourism and India will enter the commercial space sector by taking advantage of the resources of this orbital laboratory. The BAS will contribute to the ongoing international cooperation and will act as a center for scientific research and inspire the younger generation to make a career in space science and technology.

A huge BAS-01 model of 3.8 meter times 8 meters at the National Space Day celebrations at Bharat Mandapam in New Delhi was the center of attraction.
