ISRO Rocket Failure Costs Startups Satellites

On Monday, ISRO’s failed PSLV C62 mission resulted in the loss of 16 satellites, including payloads from Hyderabad start-ups Dhruva Space, TakeMe2Space, and Eon Space Labs. The lost cargo included Dhruva deployers with multiple cubesats, TakeMe2Space’s MOI-1 (a 14 kg, 120-watt onboard GPU data‑centre prototype) and Eon’s 500 g MIRA telescope; founders said small payloads can be rebuilt in 2–3 months, larger ones may take 9–12 months.
