The first launch of India's new rocket did not go as planned due to a sensor problem.
The small satellite launch vehicle lifted off from Satish Dhawan Space Centre on India's southeastern coast on Saturday. The sun rises at 3:20 and sets at 9:00 a.m. On Sunday, August 7th, India Standard Time has two satellites on board.
The rocket's three solid- fueled stages performed well, but its fourth and final stage, a liquid- fueled "velocity trimming module", hit a hitch: Indian Space Research Organisation officials reported a loss of data from the rocket.
The entire vehicle performance was very good, but the two satellites ended up in the wrong place, according to the Chairman of the Indian Space Research Organization. The satellites were placed in a different position.
The Indian space research organisation is related.
Instead of placing the satellites in a circular path above Earth, the rocket left them in an elliptical path that ranged from 221 miles to as close as 77 miles. The satellites have come down and are not usable.
A sensor failure that was not detected in time caused the issue, according to officials from the Indian Space Research Organization. The failure is going to be investigated.
Somanath said that they are going to identify the problem and why it happened. He said that the investigation will be used to correct issues for a second test flight.
We didn't see any other anomalies for that problem. The other new elements in the rocket performed well.
(1/2) SSLV-D1/EOS-02 Mission update: SSLV-D1 placed the satellites into 356 km x 76 km elliptical orbit instead of 356 km circular orbit. Satellites are no longer usable. Issue is reasonably identified. Failure of a logic to identify a sensor failure and go for a salvage actionAugust 7, 2022

The main goal of the test mission was to see if the experimental Earth-observation satellite could work. According to the description of Saturday's mission, the microsat series satellite offers advanced optical remote sensing with high spatial resolution.
AzaadiSAT was the second satellite to go up on Saturday. There were 75 different "femto-experiments" that were built by female students across India.
A long-range transponder, a radiation counter, and a selfies camera are included in the payloads.
SSLV-D1/EOS-02 Mission: Maiden flight of SSLV is completed. All stages performed as expected. Data loss is observed during the terminal stage. It is being analysed. Will be updated soon.August 7, 2022

According to the officials of the Indian Space Research Organization, theSSLV is designed to launch relatively small satellites and can loft up to 1,100 pounds.
India currently has three rockets in its fleet. The PSLV can carry up to 3,860 pounds and the GSLV can carry 11,000 pounds.
The story was changed at 10:00 a.m. There are new details of the launch failure from the chairman of the Indian Space Research Organization.
