Bengaluru: Isro suffered twin setbacks on Thursday because the Rocket GSLV-F10 developed an anomaly at the top of the cryogenic (cus) and failed to send geo-imaging satellites (gisat-1) in the intended orbit.
The failure of the mission means not only anticipated GISAT-1 – officially named Satellite ESS Observation EOS-03 – becomes not available, but also raises concerns over the reliability of the GSLV-MK2 cus.
ISRO has hoped to often use this rocket class for commercial launches.
A rocket stack of several machines one above the other.
On Thursday, the third stage, intended to speed up EOS-03 to orbit, failed to turn on.
The GSLV-F10 took off from the second Launchpad of Sriharikota at 5.43 in the morning according to the schedule and the burning core fighter occurred according to the plan, pushing rockets in the intended track.
The second-stage ignition occurs about two minutes into the launch and fairing charge (the equipment to protect the charge) is confirmed by a little mission control after four minutes of launch, as planned.
The tense moment followed the second stage closure.
While the mission control was heard announcing orders for ignition cus, no confirmation about IT and telemetry screens began to show irregularities in the third lane.
“The performance of the first and second stage is normal.
However, cus ignition does not occur due to technical anomalies.
The mission cannot be achieved as referred to,” said Isro in a statement, a few minutes after Chairman K Sivan announced the same thing in Sriharikota.
“…
The third stage should be lit and done, and because it is not functioning properly, we lost satellite.
We are waiting for data to find out the right reasons,” he told TI.
Because the cus does not turn on, the third stage along with the charge does not have the speed needed to remain in space.
“It had an impact on the Andaman Sea a few minutes later,” said a source.
CUS is at an altitude of 140 km when anomaly occurs.
ISRO will create a failure analysis committee (FAC) to view data.
Sivan and many other scientists Ti spoke, including the director of the Vikram Sarabhai Space Center, said the ISRO would need at least 24 hours to decipher anomalies.
This is the third effort of ISRO launching satellites.
The first is scheduled for March 5, but rubbed a minute before the 26-hour countdown will begin on March 4, 2020.
ISRO then plans to launch earlier this year (2021), but it does not happen to a voltage problem described by scientists as “problems Small power “.
