Debris from a launch vehicle carrying the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) logo and national emblem was found on February 12 on an uninhabited island near L. Kunahandhoo in Maldives. The parts, believed to be from the Payload Fairing of ISRO’s Launch Vehicle Mark-3 (LVM-3), washed up on shore without causing damage to people or property. Local Maldivian media reported the debris as it floated ashore. Indianspaceflight.in, a site tracking Indian space missions, tweeted the debris is likely from the LVM3-M6 mission. They noted, “A PLF (Payload Fairing) has washed up on an uninhabited island near L. Kunahandhoo, #maldives (found February 12, 2026). The @isro logo’s position below the national emblem suggests it is likely from the LVM3-M6 launch.” This recovery follows a similar finding on December 28, 2025, in Sri Lanka’s Trincomalee, also linked to the same mission. On December 19, 2025, ISRO launched the LVM3-M6 or BlueBird Block-2 mission. It successfully placed the BlueBird Block-2 communication satellite for the U.S.-based AST SpaceMobile into orbit. Earlier on November 2, ISRO used LVM-3 for the CMS-03 communication satellite launch. The LVM-3 rocket is ISRO’s heaviest, composed of two solid strap-on motors, a liquid core stage, and a cryogenic upper stage. As of now, ISRO has not officially confirmed that the debris found in Maldives belongs to its launch vehicle.
