ISRO’s PSLV-C61 Mission Falls Short as Rocket Glitch Stops EOS-09 Satellite Deployment
ISRO’s PSLV-C61/EOS-09 mission failed after a third-stage malfunction prevented the satellite’s deployment. Launched from Sriharikota on May 18, the rocket experienced a drop in chamber pressure mid-flight. This marked the PSLV’s first failure since 2017, with ISRO now conducting a detailed analysis to identify the root cause and restore miss...

Scientists Chase Falling Satellite to Study Atmospheric Pollution from Spacecraft Reentries
In a rare airborne mission, scientists chased ESA's Cluster Salsa satellite as it reentered Earth's atmosphere. The fiery descent revealed emissions of lithium, potassium, and aluminum—chemicals that could impact the ozone layer and climate. With satellite reentries increasing, researchers aim to improve pollution models and plan further tracking...
