However, this mission\u2019s flight profile deviated from its intended trajectory near the end of the <strong>third stage burn<\/strong>, prompting engineers to initiate a detailed post-flight analysis of the anomaly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite a nominal performance in the first two stages, the PS3 stage developed a <strong>disturbance in vehicle behaviour<\/strong>, and the rocket\u2019s flight path deviated from its planned course. The anomaly prevented the rocket from successfully injecting the payloads into the required orbit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While ISRO has not yet disclosed the precise technical cause of the disturbance, the third stage \u2014 powered by solid fuel \u2014 remains under scrutiny. Analysts have noted that this incident follows a similar issue in the <strong>PSLV-C61 mission (May 2025)<\/strong>, which also experienced a PS3 stage malfunction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3
