Launch of India's first private-sector-built satellite fails
ISRO today failed to successfully place IRNSS-1H, India's first satellite built in collaboration with the private sector, in orbit. The satellite was launched from Sriharikota, Andhra Pradesh, by a PSLV rocket. The 1,425-kg spacecraft was supposed to join India's â¹1,420-crore satellite-based navigation system as a back-up for IRNSS-1A satellite, whose all three atomic clocks have failed.
