PSLV-C62 / EOS-N1 Mission | Live Launch Coverage

India's ISRO and NewSpace India Limited conducted the PSLV-C62/EOS-N1 commercial rideshare launch from Satish Dhawan Space Centre on January 12, 2026 at 10:18:30 IST. The PSLV-DL vehicle carried the primary EOS-N1 Earth observation satellite (about 400 kg) to a sun-synchronous orbit near 505 km, along with 15 co-passenger spacecraft, marking PSLV's 64th flight and the DL variant's fifth mission. Launch teams completed final propellant loading, payload integration and pad retraction on schedule; mission plans include stage separations and a controlled reentry test of PS4 and a payload heat shield. The flight follows ISRO's recent mixed record of high-profile successes and one PSLV anomaly, and is a dedicated commercial service for domestic and international customers.
