Frequently asked questions

How many launches has ISRO done in 2026?

2 orbital launch attempts so far: 1 successful and 1 failed. The table above lists each one.

Which ISRO launch failed in 2026?

PSLV-C62, which launched the EOS-N1 Earth observation satellite on 12 January 2026. ISRO's mission page says the rocket "encountered an anomaly during end of the PS3 stage", its third stage.

When is ISRO's next launch?

See When is ISRO's next launch? for the next date and time in India time (IST) and in your own time.

Does this count Skyroot and other private Indian rockets?

The ISRO count does not. The India total on our 2026 scoreboard does, because it counts each launch for the country of the launch company.

Where does ISRO launch from?

From the Satish Dhawan Space Centre at Sriharikota, on the coast of Andhra Pradesh. See our Sriharikota launch site guide.

How we count

  • We count orbital launches only, from the same launch data as our 2026 scoreboard.
  • The year is counted in UTC, so a launch late at night in India on 31 December would count for the next year.
  • Dates in the table are in your own time zone when JavaScript is on.
  • The counts are fixed when the site is rebuilt. The Updated line shows when the launch data was fetched.
