The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) launched another successful rocket PSLV-C51 from the agencys Sriharikota launch pad this morning. However, the major excitement of the mission- a private company named Pixxel Indias satellite- could not make it to the launch as it was deferred by the company due to a software glitch a week ago, the Indian Express reported. If the satellite named Anand had been a part of the launched rocket then it would have marked the first Indian private companys satellite launch using ISROs facility.
The two year old company had deferred the launch of the satellite about a week before the D-day by saying that it did not make sense to launch the satellite in a rushed manner and it had decided to postpone the launch by a few weeks. The company had also said that it would be re-testing the satellite vigorously before embarking it on a rocket in the near future.
In his comments last December, ISRO chairman K Sivan had termed the announcement related to Anands launch on PSLV-C51 first of its kind and hoped that the decision would usher in a new era of space reforms. Sivan who has been at the helm of the governments decision to introduce private players in the space industry, had then remarked that Anand would be getting launched within eight months of opening up.
