PSLV-D1
The first flight of the Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle.
Mission Overview
A developmental flight intended to put the IRS-1E satellite into orbit. The mission failed due to a software error in the pitch control system, but the rocket performed most of its maneuvers correctly.
Learning from History
"The data from this "failed" test allowed India to turn the PSLV into one of the world's most reliable rockets (the "Workhorse of ISRO")."
