Last summer, ISRO had problems with the launch of its new rocket. Now, the agency has announced the problem was due to a vibration disturbance.
Last summer, the Indian space agency ISRO launched a new type of rocket, the Small Satellite Launch Vehicle or SSLV. While the rocket launched as planned, it wasn’t able to deploy the satellites it carried into orbit correctly and all of the payloads were lost. Now, the ISRO has announced it knows the cause of the failure and is working on corrections to prevent similar failures in the future.
In a recent report highlighted by space.com, ISRO said that the incorrect injection was due to a “vibration disturbance” which lead to problems in the navigation system. During the launch the rocket experienced high levels of vibration within its equipment bay deck, saturating the six accelerometers designed to monitor vibrations. This meant that the accelerometers gave off incorrect readings, which lead to wrong information going to the navigation system.
To prevent the problem recurring in future launches, the ISRO says it will use a newer system for second-stage separation which should cause fewer vibrations, and that it will be adjusting the logic on the accelerometers.
