GSLV-F10 fails to launch EOS-03

Aug 12, 2021

A Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle Mk II (GSLV-F10) launched the EOS-03 satellite from the Second Launch Pad (SLP) of the Satish Dhawan Space Centre (SDSC) SHAR, Sriharikota, India, on 12 August 2021, at 00:13 UTC (05:43 IST). The satellite was not placed into the desired orbit due to a problem with the third cryogenic stage. According to ISRO, “EOS-03 is a state-of-the-art agile Earth observation satellite”. The GSLV-F10 mission was the fourteenth flight of ISRO’s Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle (GSLV).
