The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) has postponed the launch of its Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV-C15), originally scheduled for May 9.
“A marginal drop in the pressure in the second stage of the vehicle was noticed during mandatory checks carried out on the PSLV-C15 vehicle,” said a press release from the agency.
The new launch date for the mission will be decided after preliminary results of the analysis are obtained.
PSLV-C15 will launch the country's Cartosat-2B, an Algerian satellite ALSAT-2A, two nano satellites NLS 6.1 and NLS 6.2 of the University of Toronto, Canada, and STUDSAT, a satellite built by students from academic institutions in Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh.
