Chinese media reported today, Thursday, that India failed to launch a satellite into space, with the aim of photographing and monitoring the planet from afar.

And the Chinese “Xinhua” agency reported that the Indian Space Research Organization failed to launch its Earth observation satellite for geographical imaging, due to a technical defect in the cooling stage.

“The mission cannot be fully accomplished due to a technical glitch observed in the cooling phase,” said the head of the Indian Space Research Organization, Ki Sivan.

The launch date was set at 5:43 am local time today. After a successful takeoff, the organization’s GSLV-F10 missile failed to launch the EOS-3 Earth observation satellite, into the specified orbit.

It was said that this is the organization’s third attempt to launch the satellite. It was first scheduled for March 2020, and then earlier this year, according to media reports.
