New Delhi – The mission of the Indian Space Agency to launch into orbit, a new Earth’s observation satellite failed after the launch vehicle found a technical problem during the third flight stage, authorities said on Sunday.
The EOS-09 Earth Observation satellite took off the PSLV-C61 launch vehicle of the Sriharikota Space Center in southern India on Sunday morning.
“During the third stage … there was a drop in the pressure of the motor case, and the mission could not be achieved,” said V. Narayanan, head of the Indian Space Research Organization.
Active in space research since the 1960s, India has launched satellites for itself and other countries, and has successfully put one in orbit around Mars in 2014.
After a failed attempt to land on the moon in 2019, India became the first country to get a spacecraft Near the South Pole of the Moon in 2023 on a historical journey to an unknown territory that scientists believe they could have frozen water reserves. The mission was called the technological triumph for the most populous nation in the world.
