GSLV-F10/EOS-03 mission not accomplished due to technical anomaly

The Indian Space Agency today said the the launch of the agile earth observation satellite EOS-03 on board its heaviest rocket GSLV-F10 from the spaceport here could not be fully accomplished due to a technical anomaly.

About 10 minutes after the lift off from the Second Launch Pad as scheduled at 0543 hrs, ISRO Chairman Dr K Sivan, addressing the scientists from the Mission Control Centre, said “the mission cannot be fully accomplished fully becuase of a technical anomaly observed in the (indigenous) cryogenic stage”.

After a 26-hour smooth countdown and after the Mission Director gave the stamp of approval, GSLV-F10, the home grown rocket in its 14th flight, lifted off majestically from the Second Launch Pad at 0543 hrs as scheduled, with a rumble that shook the earth.
