Overseas Network, August 12th According to the “Times of India” report, in the early morning of the 12th local time, the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) launched India’s first geostationary orbit imaging satellite (GISAT-1). The satellite failed to enter the expected orbit due to the failure of the third-stage rocket ignition. , The final launch failed. The Indian senior editor of the Russian Satellite News Agency posted a set of live photos on social media, showing the atmosphere of the command center at that time.
The personnel of the Indian Space Command Center failed to receive the data sent back from the frontAccording to reports, this geostationary orbiting imaging satellite (GISAT-1) can provide near real-time satellite images. Under clear and cloudless conditions, it can observe a specific area in real time on a large area. Indian media call it the “eye in the sky”. . Before the launch, Dr. Shivan, the chairman of the Indian Space Research Organization, said that the satellite is different from low-Earth orbit satellites. It can continuously image and is very helpful for meteorological observation, agriculture and disaster warning. It is the first earth observation satellite of its kind. .
India has been preparing for the launch of this satellite for a long time. It tried to launch the satellite twice in March 2020 and early 2021, but cancelled the launch due to some malfunctions. The launch was carried out at 5:43 am on August 12th. The GISAT-1 satellite was launched by the geosynchronous launch vehicle GSLV-F10. The launch phase was progressing smoothly. The problem appeared in the second and third phases of the rocket handover. . In summary, Dr. Shivan stated that due to a technical failure in the low temperature phase, the rocket did not ignite in the third phase and the launch mission failed. The Indian Space Research Organization has established an investigation and analysis committee to analyze the cause of this technical failure. (Overseas Net Wang Xiaoyu)
