Looks the Mission has failed due to a Technical glitch.. Official COnfirmation is awaited but might not come out so soon.

This is not a charity organization , such idealistic stuff never works out 

Best we could do is increase private sector participation , lease them facilities for cheap and amke them earn money through private satellite launches 

 

Privatization with patriotism always works . Only tata s have that mind set

ISRO: Satellites no longer usable as they were placed into wrong orbit

ISRO's new rocket was carrying earth observation satellite EOS-02 weighing 145 kg and AzaadiSat, made by 750 school girls to celebrate the 75 years of Independence under SpaceKidz India, weighing 8 kg.

After the Indian Space Research Organisation’s (ISRO) newly developed small satellite launch vehicle (SSLV) suffered some data losses in the final stage of its maiden flight Sunday morning, the space agency said that the satellites were no longer usable as the SSLV D1 placed them into the elliptical orbit instead of circular orbit.

Isro chairperson Dr S Somanath said: “We had in the terminal phase of the mission some data losses occurring and we are analysing the data. And, we will come back on the status of the satellites as well as the vehicle performance soon.”

The new rocket was carrying earth observation satellite EOS-02 weighing 145 kg and AzaadiSat, made by 750 school girls to celebrate the 75 years of Independence under SpaceKidz India, weighing 8 kg.

The SSLV, which uses three solid fuel-based stages and a liquid fuel-based velocity trimming module (VTM) to place the satellite in orbit, was designed keeping in mind the quick turnaround time needed for commercial launch. The launch using the vehicle can be carried out within a week, with Somanath telling The Indian Express that the vehicle can be integrated in two days, tested for the next two, with rehearsal and launch in another two days. This was achieved during the current mission, he said Saturday.

 

The lift-off from India’s only spaceport in Sriharikota at 9:18 am was typical of any other launch and remained so for the first three stages of the vehicle. But there was some deviation from the mapped trajectory during the coasting phase, with the third stage separation, VTM ignition, and satellite injection a little delayed from what was mentioned in the space agency’s mission brochure.

There was a silence in the mission control room after the separation of the satellites on board at 738 and 788 seconds after the lift-off.

“The maiden flight of SSLV D1 just now completed. All stages performed as expected. We are currently in the process of analysing the data to conclude the outcome of the mission concerning whether a stable orbit is achieved or not,” Somanath said.

Unfortunately cannot use the satellites...

Accidents happen with new vehicles , but what is sad about ISRO is they don't have the budget to rapidly build the fixed prototype and launch as soon as possible 

They would need to wait 1 more year to launch the fixed prototype again

Need budget to overcome these kind of manufacturing capabilities...

hahahaha .. M gudisindha?. No problems for those vaidyanathans, sharmas, pillais. Lunch lo thair vadais(perugu vada) and other pure veg items thintu they will discuss how one of their kid got admitted in stanford or mit while complaining about indian masses.

Budget kaadhu thokka kaadhu. ISRO or its previous acronym was started before chinese.  Almost 60 years of budgets and works of pure veg group has gone in to it. And thier results are worse than any lab from a decent university.

It is "indian" efficiency. Matallo they will claim Advaitha and gaadidi guddu but chethally they are beaten to pulp by a paaler and chinna kaar rythu govt like chinese.
