ISRO Launch LIVE Updates: Is number 13 ‘unlucky’ for ISRO?

ISRO Launch LIVE Updates: After the last GSLV flight known as 'GSLV-F12' on May 29, 2023, the usual sequence would have been 'GSLV-F13' for the next launch. Surprisingly, ISRO decided to name the upcoming rocket 'GSLV-F14,' deviating from the expected order.

This unconventional naming trend is also observed in ISRO's Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV) series, where 'PSLV-C13' was skipped after 'PSLV-C12' without any explanation. This pattern resembles NASA's avoidance of the number 13 after the well-known failure of Apollo 13, reported Bussiness Today.
