Xinhua News Agency, New Delhi, August 7 (Reporter Zhao Xu) The Indian Space Research Organization issued a statement on the 7th saying that the small satellite launch vehicle launched that day did not put the satellite it carried into the intended orbit.
Indian media reported that this means that the first launch of India's small satellite launch vehicle failed.
The Indian Space Research Organization first launched a small satellite carrier rocket at the Satish Dhawan Space Center on Sriharikota Island in the southeastern Indian state of Andhra Pradesh that morning, and plans to send two small satellites into low-Earth orbit.
The first part of the launch mission performed as expected, but data was lost in the final stage.
The Indian Space Research Organization later issued a statement saying that the launch vehicle did not put the satellite into its intended orbit and the satellite was no longer available.
Information released by the Indian Space Research Organization on the 7th shows that India's small satellite launch vehicle can send a payload of up to 500 kilograms into low-Earth orbit 500 kilometers above the ground.
Equipped with a simple modular interface, the rocket can be assembled in three to four days and ready for launch in seven days.
