You added a word. What is more impressive is the current streak of 23 successful missions going back to 1999.

What's the extra word here?

There have been 25 total successful missions for PSLV. 23 of them have been successive / consecutive. Considering that "successive" is not a word used commonly and that the fact that the number of "successive" missions was wrong, I thought it was a typo.
