According to Indian media reports, a deviation from the intended flight path was observed during the rocket&rsquo;s third stage, prompting further scrutiny by mission teams. Success or a failure?ISRO Chairman Dr V. Narayanan said the agency is analyzing the available data and will share further details at the earliest opportunity.&nbsp; He refrained from declaring the mission either a success or a failure while the investigation continues.&nbsp;The mission carried 15 satellites, including the Earth Observation Satellite EOS-N1 and the surveillance satellite Anvesha, developed by the Defence Research and Development Organisation.&nbsp; EOS-N1 and 14 co-passenger satellites were scheduled for injection into a Sun Synchronous Orbit, while the Kestrel Initial Demonstrator satellite was intended to follow a re-entry trajectory.&nbsp; The Anvesha satellite is designed to enhance India&rsquo;s high-precision imaging and surveillance capabilities.&nbsp;The mission also marked a milestone for India&rsquo;s private space sector, with Hyderabad-based Dhruva Space contributing seven satellites &mdash; the highest number by a single Indian private company on a PSLV mission.
