SSLV Mission: ISRO Says Satellites No Longer Usable as Orbit Achieved 'Less Than Expected'

News 18  

ISRO’s maiden small satellite launch vehicle, carrying earth observation satellite EOS-02 and co-passenger students satellite AzaadiSAT lifted off from the Sriharikota spaceport on Sunday. After analysing data, ISRO said satellites were no longer usable as the SSLV-D1 placed the satellites into 356 km x 76 km elliptical orbit instead of 356 km circular orbit. The SSLV can put payloads weighing upto 500 kg into the 500 km planar orbit, the Indian Space Research Organisation had earlier said. The ground system developed by ‘Space Kidz India’ will be utilised to receive the data from this satellite, ISRO said.
