Srihatikota (Andhra Pradesh), Jan 12 (UNI) ISRO’s workhorse and reliable rocket PSLV-C62 on
Monday failed to inject the DRDO’s EOS-N1 Earth Observation Satellite, designed and developed
for strategic purpose, along with 15 other co-passenger payloads from India and abroad into the
intended Orbit.
After a smooth 22.5 hr countdown, the home grown 44.4 metre tall four stage vehicle, with a lift off
mass of 260 tonnes, took off majestically from the First Launch Pad at 1018 hrs, much to the delight
of tens and hundreds of spectators who had gathered at the Launch Gallery centre in the SHAR Range
here.
