Indian rocket suffers catastrophic failure during launch, Earth-watching satellite lost

India’s first launch of 2021 has ended in failure.

An Indian rocket carrying a new Earth-observation satellite for the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO)

suffered a catastrophic failure shortly after launching early Thursday (Aug. 12) from the country’s Satish Dhawan Space Centre on Sriharikota Island in eastern India.

The liftoff occurred at 5:43 a.m. local time in India (8:13 p.m. EDT Aug 11/0013 GMT).

The launch failure,

the first for India since 2017, occurred sometime past the six-minute mark when the mission’s rocket, the 12-story-tall Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle,

was expected to have ignited its cryogenic third stage.

That third stage ignition did not happen, ISRO officials said.
