The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) will now go back to the
drawing board to plug imperfections in its indigenous cryogenic upper-stage
Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle (GSLV) programme, after the GSLV-D5
mission to launch into orbit the advanced communication satellite GSAT-14,
was aborted due to a fuel leak on Monday.
The mission was called off at a fairly advanced stage of the 29-hour
countdown, and with only a little over an hour left for the lift-off that
was scheduled for 4.50 p.m., at the second launch pad of the Sriharikota
spaceport near here. |
