The rocket launched by India into space on Thursday failed. The purpose of this rocket was to provide real images to keep an eye on cyclones and to track natural disasters. According to the Indian Space Agency, a technical fault in the final ignition stage of the rocket failed. This occurred when the launch took place in the space center of Sriharikota, Southern India.
It was a geostationary satellite, which means that it would rotate in correspondence to the Earth. It will remain in its position where it is fixed. It would supply images of thunderstorms, cloud bursts, and also will secure information about forestry, agriculture, and marine purposes.
Information regarding the fate of the rocket after the failure of ignition was not explained by the space agency.
“Since the third stage has not ignited, it has not attained the velocity which would keep it in orbit. It will fall back to Earth sometime soon. Tracking will tell you later,” says the expert Pallava Bagla.
According to the Economic Times newspaper, there have been a lot of experiments and many rockets have been launched. This has been the fourth failure of 14 rockets that have been launched on the platform of geostationary since 2001.
India has been searching for decades to it allowing the development of the satellite. They have been very ambitious about it. They are helping in the prediction forecasting fish migration to storms and floods.
The government has given a deadline to the space center of 2022 for India’s first manned spaceflight.
India sent a spacecraft in 2019, to explore the presence of water on the moon but the vessel was unsuccessful in landing on the surface of the moon. We are hoping to see more progress from India in this field.
