48 hours after launch, Isro goes silent on GSAT

• 

Less than 48 hours after the Thursday launch of GSAT-6A, one of India’s biggest communication satellites with military applications, celebration gave way to suspense at the Indian Space Research Organisation(Isro) on Saturday.

A source said the second orbit-raising exercise around 10am went off well, with the liquid apogee motor (LAM) firing as planned, but a few minutes later there were some “hitches in communication”. Soon, top Isro scientists went into a huddle.

The customary official statement on the manoeuvre, like the one after the first such exercise at 9.22am on Thursday, did not happen. Neither was there word on the third orbit raising exercise. Scientists either remained incommunicado or claimed ignorance of the health of the satellite. Isro chairman K Sivan chaired a marathon meeting on Saturday.

Orbit-raising manoeuvres are done to change satellites’ closest and farthest points from earth, besides their inclination

Partial failure is what they would claim hereafter..

ISRO ji kuch daso vi.....ke hua ji:

ISRO ji kuch daso vi.....ke hua ji:

Isro has budget of couple of billion USD they can easily deal with 5-10% failure rate. Anyway this doesnt look like a failure as long as critical functions are performed by the sattelite. 2nd orbit raising if its not at intended orbit more fuel will be used to place it thr shortening the age of operations but that doesnt matter when this sattelite will retire India GDP nominal will be around 10 trillion $. And Isro budger will be around pakistani military budget of today.
Pakistanis like u should be askin questionabout suparco not isro.

One failure after another. Too bad they can't blame Pakistan.

 

[SorryNotSorry]

Still less shameful than that damn half baked space station.

One failure after another. Too bad they can't blame Pakistan.

worry about the failure called suparco pakistani birather

 

[Crystal-Clear]

doob gaya paisa .

 

[SOHEIL]

Failure is another step forward

 

[Daghalodi]

Im sure ISI is responsible

 

[SrNair]

Failure is another step forward

Agreed .Being an engineer ,I can understand the complexity of this type of technical experiments .
Failure is possible sometimes.
But this is really a quite disappointment .
It was a revolutionary satellite , even handheld devices could have clearly access it.

One failure after another. Too bad they can't blame Pakistan.

What is the most modern communication satellite of Suparco?

Pakistanis rejoicing at ISRO's rare failure proof of their national mindset. Drag others down because they can't do it. Pretty much the story since independence.

Hat off to Indian posters way of patting each other on the back for a fail launch of the communication Satellite.

You should see them pat themselves on their backs for other junk like tejas or arjun
