ISRO postpones launch of top notch imagery satellite GISAT-1

BENGALURU: India on Wednesday postponed the launch of its latest earth observation satellite “GISAT-1” onboard powerful geosynchronous rocket due to “technical reasons”, a day before its scheduled lift-off from the spaceport of Sriharikota in Andhra Pradesh.

“The launch of GISAT-1 onboard GSLV-F10, planned for March 05, 2020, is postponed due to technical reasons. Revised launch date will be informed in due course,” the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) said in a statement.

The city-headquartered space agency, however, did not elaborate on the technical reasons that forced the postponement of its first launch this year from Sriharikota. (AGENCIES)
