ISRO’s 8 January 2026 overview said PSLV-C62 vehicle and satellite integration was complete, with pre-launch checks under way. The plan targeted 10:17 Indian local time on 12 January from Sriharikota’s first launch pad, using the two-strap-on PSLV-DL variant. NSIL’s ninth dedicated commercial mission was to launch EOS-N1 and 15 co-passenger satellites. PSLV-C62 was identified as the rocket family’s 64th flight. Those commercial, payload and vehicle counts are distinct. A small Spanish re-entry demonstrator, KID, was planned for release last, followed by re-entry and South Pacific splashdown. These remain planned operations, not confirmed successful results. The current page additionally carries an undated later notice of a PS3-stage anomaly and investigation. That notice is not assigned to the earlier publication date. This article preserves the traceable pre-launch stage without using a plan as proof of subsequent success.
