In the wake of the PSLV rocket's failure to deliver the Earth observation satellite (EOS-09) into orbit, ISRO has swiftly established a committee to probe the incident, Chairman V Narayanan disclosed on Sunday.

The incident unfolded after the rocket lifted off from Sriharikota, with its systems initially performing as expected. However, a third-stage anomaly, characterized by a drop in chamber pressure, thwarted the mission.

Despite the setback, Narayanan announced that ISRO aims to continue its planned launches, maintaining a schedule of one mission per month this year.
