PSLV-C39 failure: Will the Space Business be affected by it?

Hello friends.

Welcome to Technowingz!

• It was 31st of August when ISRO launched its PSLV-C39 at 7 P.M. evening from the Satish Dhavan Space Centre, Shriharikota.
• The PSLV-C39 went to the orbits but it failed to open due to heat-shield tip, it was stuck up and failed to open in which the satellite was put.
• INRSS-1A was to be replaced by this INRSS-1H which was the eighth one in the NavIC Constellation.

Indian Space Research Organisation(ISRO) was to provide the betterment in the field of navigation but it failed. On Thursday the satellite reached the geosynchronous orbit but failed to open that due to heat shield-tip. It was scheduled to open at 3 minutes and 23 seconds into the flight but failed to open. It was to replace the INRSS-1A as its rubidium atomic clock had stopped working. It was an important component which provided the navigation with accuracy.

It was launched on July 1,2013 but it stopped working due to the effects of temperature and rubidium source light and the electronic supply. Yet it is helpful in the messaging services. It's three clocks had stopped working last year which were installed. But the also assured that it won't affect the location system as it needed only 4 satellites for the minimum performance but they already have six in the working system.

ISRO chairman Kiran Kumar informed that the mission was unsuccessful. It went all right at every stages. At the fourth stage it didn't work well. The satellite was to separate at that time but cannot make it. It was only due to heat shield. They could see the satellite circling the orbit along with the shield. He also said that he will check the heat-shield command and analysis will be done for this cause.

It is a history to launch 130 foreign satellites and also 18 satellites of the Indian origin. It was a record set up by the ISRO to launch 104 satellites at one single go on February 2017. The launching of IRNSS-1A was the first time in which the contract was given to a private company named Alpha Design Technology Pvt. Ltd. to assemble the satellite under the supervision of the experienced scientists. As per a report in Livemint, ISRO has the order of 600 carores in which satellites are to be launched by 2020 and place them in the Low Earth Orbit.

Broadband satellites is only the option for the best predicted future in which they wish to cover every nanopart of the earth for the faster internet connection. Plenty of the satellites are going to be used for that purpose. For example, SpaceX which is planning to launch 4,425 satellites. The data packets can be sent from a single place to the other part at a significant speed using these, unlike the fibre cable currently in use.
