On Monday, the Indian Space Research Organisation said that it will launch the NISAR, the first joint Earth observation satellite by ISRO and NASA, from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota, Andhra Pradesh, on July 30 at 17:40 IST.
"The PSLV-c61 mission faced a setback during the third stage due to a drop in chamber pressure, which impacted the fourth stage performance and led to mission loss. A national-level committee is investigating the cause," Narayanan told ANI.
In a rare setback, the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) faced a mission failure on Sunday as its 101st launch -- EOS-09 aboard the PSLV-C61 -- could not be completed due to technical problems in the third stage of the launch vehicle.
ISRO chief V Narayanan said that the launch of the EOS-09 satellite, which was launched on Sunday, could not be accomplished, and scientists are further studying the entire performance.
The flight sequence of the PSLV-C-61 consists of various stages, starting from Ignition of PS1 and PSOM at the ground, to separation of various sections to finally the separation of the satellite from the rocket.
Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) Chairman V Narayanan on Sunday said that at least 10 satellites are continuously working round-the-clock for the strategic purpose to ensure the safety and security of the citizens of the country.

Union Minister for Education Dharmendra Pradhan expressed his heartfelt tribute to the former ISRO chief, Dr K Kasturirangan, on his demise, calling him a "priceless gem" of the country.
Speaking to ANI, Rangan said "Even after a very long day, he would spend an hour reading after coming home, even if he was tired. He always had a curiosity and a penchant for learning and knowing. He worked hard, and he never gave up. He knew the value of the people around him... In that
