New Delhi, May 18, 2025 (ANI): Space Strategist PK Ghosh on May 18 said that the unfortunate failure encountered by Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) in the launch of its 101st satellite, EOS-09, aboard the Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV-C61), should be used as a learning process. “It is slightly unfortunate, but I do not like to use the term 'failure'. Every launch is a learning process. We assume that there was some problem in the third stage. This is our 101st launch; we had remarkable success...I am sure we will learn from this and go forward in our next launch,” said PK Gosh. “Our ISRO’s performance was best in the world and the Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle-C61 has taken so many satellites. This time, EOS-09 satellite was launched…The two stages of this satellite was gone well but at the third stage, motor failed to work…Due to that, our mission failed…,” said OP Gupta

00:00Yes, this is slightly unfortunate but I do not like to use the term failure. The reason being every launch is a learning process and this is also, yes, we assume that there was some problem in the third stage, the solid stage which is supposed to burn for I think 113.5 seconds or something and that is why we couldn't put the EOS 9 onto space.
00:30Now, this is our 101st launch and we have had a remarkable success. If you see all other countries, they have had many failures for ours has been the minimum.
00:42Now, the reason, a little bit about the EOS, you know, during Opsindoor, our space assets have been a very big help. You could get the space photographs and all.
00:59So, we were augmenting that space assets with this and this EOS Earth Observation Satellite has got a synthetic aperture radar and we would have got some lovely photographs, etc. from there.
01:15So, that will take some time now and I am sure we will learn from this and go forward in our next launch.
01:23We will learn from this and we will learn from this and we will learn from this.
01:53So, we will be learning from this and we will learn from this and we will learn from this and learn from this and learn from it.
01:58So, that is also, when we learn from the future we will learn from this stage and we will learn from it.
02:01So, we are talking about the application of the 3rd stage, which can be failed by our 3rd stage.
02:07foreign
02:35Yes.
02:36Our scientists and engineers have been involved in this.
02:42And so, our Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle, PSLB, is very good.
02:49But we say that many times it can happen,
02:53so many agencies such as NASA and others,
03:00you have seen that after going to the Sunita Williams,
03:03they were very difficult to go to the space.
03:08And ultimately, the SpaceX will come.
03:11Now, all testing is happening.
03:15and with the whole testing, but many times successful after this failure.
