GLSV-F10 Rocket failure will not deter ISRO’s future space projects

On 12.08.2021 The GSLV-F10 rocket of the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) blasted off from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre at Sriharikota to place the EOS-3 Earth Observation Satellite into space.


But due to a failure in igniting the cryogenic stage of the GSLV-F-10 launch vehicle, the rocket has miserably failed in injecting the earth observation satellite EOS-03 into the orbit.


EOS-3 was the first state-of-art agile Earth Observation Satellite that ISRO tried to place into orbit. If this space mission might have succeeded as per the plan then the EOS-3 Satellite was able to provide real-time imaging of large areas of the Earth, monitor the natural disasters from the sky round the clock, provide warnings for natural disasters, observe cyclones, cloudbursts and thunderclouds etc.


This latest technical failure of ISRO’s Satellite Launching Mission is not at all going to deter the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) and it’s future plan to send more and more advance satellites into orbits.


Earlier many times ISRO has failed in their space mission. Instead of becoming pessimistic, they were learning appropriate technical lessons from each failures and bounced back with more and more great success.


Preparations for ISRO’s planned big ticket Solar Missions and the Gaganyaan project’s preoperational unmanned flight program are now underway and the same will be materialized within few years. ISRO’s entire big ticket space projects has already been delayed due to the affect of Covid 19 Pandemic.


ISRO is one of the best space exploration agencies in the world. This agency was formed in 1969 for the growth and development in the country by utilizing space technology.


During the past 52 years period, ISRO has created glorious success in the field of space research and development and it’s achievements has been widely helping India to dominate in the World Space Technological sector.


On 15th February 2017, ISRO has astonished the world by launching 104 Satellites together by utilizing PSLV-C37 Launch Vehicle and created a new world record. Out of 104 Satellites ISRO launched, 3 Satellites were from India, 88 Satellites were from U.S.A, and the remaining were from Germany, Israel, Kazakhstan, Netherlands, Switzerland as well as United Arab Emirates.


Prior to ISRO’s success, Russia’s Dnepr rocket was holding this record by launching 37 satellites together into space.
ISRO is now a master in designing, developing and launching wide varieties of satellites into orbits for various purposes and they are having vast edge over it’s global competitors in this regard.


With the support of various Indian Space Research Institutes, ISRO is now vigorously carrying out Planning, development and preparations to launch Aditya L1 Spacecraft by utilizing Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV XL) in 2022. This spacecraft will also carry out round-the-clock imaging of the Sun, study the Sun’s corona, solar emissions, solar winds and flares, and Coronal Mass Ejections (CME’s).


ISRO is also preparing for a mission to Mars within two years. Country like France has already expressed keen interest in collaborating with ISRO for building the next Mars Rover for India’s Mars Mission.


ISRO is also preparing to launch a new orbiter called “Shukrayaan Orbiter” to Venus to study the Venus planet.
Plans, preparations and developments are now underway to proceed with ISRO’s first manned space mission called Gaganyaan. They have already selected four astronauts for this mission and their training program began in February 2020 itself. They have already completed one year training course from Russia’s Zvyozdny gorodok city near Moscow.

As ISRO has always been maintaining consecutive success, accuracy, efficiency and carrying out cost effective and low budget space missions for India as well as other countries in the world, this prominent agency will definitely dominate in the world Space Technology sector in future.
