G Madhavan Nair, a veteran space scientist, expressed frustration at the failure of the GSLV-F10 launch mission but stated the ISRO is resilient enough to recover. The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) launched a GSLV-F10 rocket from Sriharikota spaceport today at 05:43 hours, as planned, carrying an earth observation satellite (EOS-03).
The performance of the first and second stages was normal, according to the space agency. However, due to a technical glitch, the Cryogenic Upper Stage did not ignite. The task could not be finished on time.
Mr. Nair, who served as ISRO Chairman for six years beginning in 2003 and completed 25 successful missions, said that setbacks like this are common and that ISRO should not lose hope.
