A Spanish startup, Orbital Paradigm, claims its Kestrel Initial Technology Demonstrator (KID) capsule survived the failed PSLV-C62 mission, separating and transmitting data. While ISRO has not confirmed this, the company stated the 25kg payload, intended as the final satellite, successfully detached. The mission, which aimed to deploy 15 other satellites, experienced third-stage disturbances, leading to its failure.
