By Venkatachari Jagannathan

Sriharikota (Andhra Pradesh) Aug 12 (IANS): The much expected launch of Indias first Geo-Imaging Satellite (GISAT-1) renamed as EOS-03 failed on Thursday.

About seven minutes into its launch at 5.43 a.m. the Indian rocket Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle (GSLV-F10) encountered problems in its cryogenic engine-the third and last engine.

The rocket could not send details to the Indian Space Research Organisation's (ISRO) ground centre at the spaceport in Sriharikota.

Announcing the mission failure K.Sivan, Chairman, ISRO said: "Technical anomaly was observed in the cryogenic stage and the mission could not be accomplished."

    "made in India" is hoax and slogan meant for monkeyvotebank... if something is used for partisan electoral or political mileage, that becomes failure... Mo Na should stop politicizing non-political fields...

    Failure is stepping stone towards success. Our Scientists will use the experience in future for successive achievements. No problem. Now what about Modi? One who claimed all successes as his own, will he disown the failure? Although he has no significant contribution in such matters, his habit of blowing trumpet when our hardworking Scientists achieve some thing, is worth watching now when there is set back. May be, he will attribute to not sending Shah or Yogi for pressing the button.
