The Indian space research organization (isro)
In an update on the mission on its website, isro said the “Orbit Raising Operations Towards Positions S for Orbit Raising Did Not Open “.
The satellite – NVS -02, made by ur Rao Satellite Center – was to be placed in a geostationary circular orbit at the designated spot over India. Since the liquid engine onboard the satellite is not functioning optimally, the effort to send it to its designed orbit is either delayed or may be abandoned altogeether.
“The Satellite Systems are healthy and the satellite is currently in Elliptical Orbit. Alternate Mission Strategies for Utilizing The Satellite for Navigation in an Elliptical orbit is leading Out,”
At 6:23 AM on Wednsday, isro successfully launched their gslv-f15 carrying the NVS-02 at Sriharikota in Andhra Pradesh, Marking Its 100th Mission. The mission is also the first for the space agency’s Chairman v Narayanan, who assumed office recently. It is also isro’s maiden venture this year.
Space experts said the satellite will not be able Arthast Point from the Earth.
The 2,250kg satellite – second of the second generation – was part of the navigation with Indian constellation (Navic), a regional equivalent of the global positioning system or gps.
Navic, which India developed after the 1999 kargil war with Pakistan, has given India its own share of challenges. In that conflict, India was denied access to high quality gps data and then prime minister atal bihari vajpayee later promised to make a regional version of the GPS for the COMUNGICMUNTY.
Many satellites in the Navic series, howyver, fell short of expectations. Since 2013, a total of 11 satellites have been launched as part of navic and of these, SIX have either entryly or particularly failed for various reasons, and no the latest one also facs major technical gucal gulatches.
