The Indian Space Researc
The Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) reported a malfunction with the GSLV-F10 launch vehicle, which disrupted the Earth Observation Satellite (EOS-03) mission to geostationary orbit.
The rocket was launched on Thursday, August 12, at 5:43 am local time in India (03:13 Moscow time) from the launch pad of the Satish Dhavan Space Center on Sriharikota Island in the Bay of Bengal. The technical malfunctions leading to the failure of the mission were noticed approximately six minutes after the launch of the cryogenic third stage.
“The work of the first and second stages was without deviations. However, the ignition of the upper cryogenic stage did not occur due to a technical anomaly. The mission could not be completed as intended, ” ISRO tweeted.
Lost along with the GSLV rocket, the Earth observation satellite EOS-03 is the "modern" ISRO tool for studying our planet. It was expected that the satellite would last at least 10 years, transmitting data to Earth in near real time, for monitoring natural disasters, cyclones, thunderstorm fronts, etc., as well as collecting information for the needs of agriculture and forestry.
This is the first ISRO failure since 2017 to interrupt a streak of 14 successful launches, according to launch tracking website Spaceflight Now. According to SpaceNews, the 2017 failure was the first for the Indian PSLV launch vehicle in 20 years of launches.
