ISRO's small rocket SSLV-D1 lifts off with two satellites
After launching the Small Satellite Launch Vehicle (SSLV-D1) on Sunday morning, the Indian Space Research Organisation(ISRO) said the "satellites are no longer usable".
"The issue is reasonably identified. Failure of a logic to identify a sensor failure and go for a salvage action caused the deviation," ISRO declared.
"SSLV-D1 placed the satellites into 356 km x 76 km elliptical orbit instead of 356 km circular orbit," it said.
India's space agency said a committee will analyse the launch. ISRO said it will come back soon with SSLV-D2.
The SSLV mission was carrying the Earth Observation Satellite EOS-02 and a student satellite named AzaadiSAT.
