Launch of India’s New-Age Earth Imaging Satellite by May 15: K Sivan

The launch of the 2,268-kg satellite was earlier aborted in the first half of this month due to a technical glitch.
Indian space research organisation (Isro) chairman K Sivan told TOI, “The technical glitch related to a voltage fluctuation issue in the satellite is being fixed. Thereafter, the satellite will be assembled in the launch vehicle and tested again. All these things will take time and the launch is likely to happen in the first half of next month. The delay in the launch of Gisat-1 by GSLV-F10 and the Covid situation will, however, postpone other launches, including the first test-flight of the Small Satellite Launch Vehicle (SSLV or mini PSLV), this year.”
