NEW DELHI, Aug 12 (NNN-PTI) – The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO), today failed to launch its geo imaging earth observation satellite, due to a technical anomaly in the cryogenic stage, confirmed ISRO chairman, K. Sivan.
“Mission could not be accomplished fully because there is a technical anomaly observed in the cryogenic stage,” Sivan was seen saying, during the live telecast of the satellite launch.
The launch was scheduled for 5:43 a.m. local time today. After taking off successfully, ISRO’s GSLV-F10 rocket failed to launch the earth observation satellite, EOS-3, into the intended orbit.
This was said to be the ISRO’s third attempt at launching the satellite. It was first scheduled for Mar, 2020, and then earlier this year, said media reports.– NNN-PTI
