ISRO'S GSLV F06 LAUNCH CARRYING GSAT 5P FAILS

( GSLV F06 SATELLITE AFTER THE BLAST OVER SRIHARIKOTA,INDIA)
* ISRO CONFIRMS THAT AFTER T+47 SECONDS, GSLV STARTED LOSING CONTROL

Another disappointing event for all of us in India as ISRO's GSAT 5P (Weighing 2310 kg and mission cost of Rs 125 crore) satellite launch fails after 50 seconds APX from the launch

THE COUNTDOWN WENT VERY SMOOTH WITH LAUNCH AT 1604HRS. The first stage ignition performed very well but by T+47 seconds apx, the GSLV launch vehicle blasted off over Sriharikota.

The blasts happened at the first stage which is the liquid fuel burn state developed BY ISRO at the basic level AND NOT BY RUSSIAN CRYOGENIC ENGINES. SO NOT PROPER TO BLAME RUSSIAN CRYOGENIC ENGINES WHICH IS A THIRD STAGE ENGINE.

The GS1 stage burn out was targeted for 148.8 seconds from launch at altitude of 68.3km and Inertial velocity of 2.7km/sec BUT GSLV F06 BLASTED ABOUT 47 SEC.

The launch scenario is similar to what happened with Space Shuttle Challenger disaster happened on Jan 28 1986 when conditions went wrong during after the launch resulting in a blast similar to GSLV.
I bet the reason is relating to after launch period, I mean the GSLV seems to be damaged by debris during launch which caused the failure.

Another possibility is As seen from the video.It seems that one of strap on boosters failed after few seconds from launch. After that, GSLV turned left and the main engine (Stage 1) blasted off.

STILL VERY UNCLEAR FROM THESE REASONS


NOT CONFIRM. LET ISRO DO IT
