Isro moves on, prepares for next launch
Though the scheduled launch of Geo Synchronised Launch Vehicle (GSLV) D5 earlier this week failed, the Indian Space Research Organisation (Isro) has already announced the launch of its next satellite.
The GSAT-7 will be launched during the early hours of August 30 by a foreign launch vehicle Ariane VA215 from French Guiana, Isro said
The GSAT-7, which will be Indias first military satellite, will be used for the Navys telecommunication purposes.
GSAT-7 is a multi-band satellite carrying payloads in UHF, S-band, C-band and Ku-band and weighs 2,330 kg with a payload power of 2,000W.
Meanwhile, Isro is yet to announce the date for the relaunch of the GSLV-D5, stating it is still accessing the failure. The launch of the GSLV-D5 scheduled on August 19 was called off, as a leak was observed in the UH25 fuel system of the liquid second stage during the pre-launch pressurisation phase on the vehicle just two hours before the scheduled lift-off.
