Isro encountered anomaly in satellite trajectory during third stage flight
According to Chris Bergin of NasaSpaceFlight.com (NSF), the mission suffered a "major failure" during the third stage flight.
"2-3 sep looked good, but the third stage started to roll shortly after ignition, and then it progressively worsened," he said. "Then the telemetry lines diverged. This will soon be classed as a loss of mission."
Isro fails to put satellite in orbit: Report
According to Spaceflight Now, Isro has confirmed that the GSLV Mk.2 launch today failed due to a "performance anomaly observed in the cryogenic stage.” This is the first failure on an Indian space launch since 2017, ending a run of 14 consecutive successful missions, the report said.
The Sputnik news agency also reported that Isro has failed to put the Earth observation satellite in orbit.
