V Narayanan, head of the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO), confirmed that the EOS-09 satellite, which was launched on Sunday, cannot be completed, and scientists are further studying the entire performance.
Addressing a press conference, V Narayanan said that the first two phases were demonstrated after the launch, and the problem was revealed in the third phase of the problem.
“Today we attempted the launch of the PSLV-C61 vehicle. The vehicle is a 4-step vehicle. The first two stages were performed. During the 3 phases, we are watching the observation. The mission cannot be completed. We are studying the entire performance; we will come back as soon as possible,” Narayanan said.
ISRO also posted about development on X, “Today, the 101st launch was attempted; PSLV-C61 performance was normal to 2 phases. Due to an observation in the third phase, the mission could not be completed.”
The flight sequence of PSLV-C-61 consists of different stages, which begin with the ignition of PS1 and PSOM, for the separation of different classes, for the separation of the satellite from the rocket, finally.
According to the ISRO chief, the problem was detected in the third stage, which is a solid rocket motor that provides the upper stage with a high emphasis after the atmospheric phase of the launch. This phase has a maximum emphasis of 240 Kilonwon.
It was the 101st launch of ISRO, in which he launched the satellite orbiting the Earth, also known as EOS -09, which was to be placed in the Sun Syncronous Polar Orbit (SSPO).
The scheme was to be deployed for the EOS-09 satellite as orbit Change thrusters (Oct) will be used to reduce the height of the PS4 phase. After this, after passing, there will be a measure aimed at reducing the orbital life of the stage and ensuring responsible space operations. EOS-09 is designed to give continuous and reliable remote sensing data for use in various operating areas.
In particular, this launch was also aligned with promoting stability and advancing responsible space operations, as the EOS-09 is equipped with deorbiting fuel for safe disposal after the mission.
EOS-09 is an advanced Earth observation satellite equipped with C-band synthetic aperture radar technology. It can capture the high-resolution images of the Earth’s surface under the day or night under the weather conditions, day or night. This ability enhances India’s monitoring and management systems in many secto JKR. (AI)
