ISRO’s Launched Satellite NVS-02 Mission: The Satellite Stuck in Orbit

ISRO launched its 100th mission on January 29. Satellite NVS-02 was launched in this mission. This satellite is stuck in space. It has not been able to reach the designated orbit. Its propulsion system has malfunctioned.

The satellite NVS-02, launched by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) on January 29 as part of its 100th mission, is stuck in space. It has not been able to reach the designated orbit. Its propulsion system has malfunctioned. There has been a valve failure in it.

This valve was designed to supply oxidizer to the Liquid Apogee Motor (LAM). This meant that the space agency was unable to operate the LAM, which is crucial for the satellite NVS-02 to change orbit and reach its final orbit.

If LAM Does Not Work Then How Will the Orbit Change?

This would be difficult without LAM ignition. The valve problem was discovered after launch when the satellite was placed in GTO. No orbit corrections have been made since the launch. Another source said the valve was not opening. This was preventing the LAM from being supplied with oxidizer, so the motors could not be started.

The Satellite NVS-02 Is in Transfer Orbit:

Due to this problem, the Satellite NVS-02 is still kept in GTO. Now ISRO has to decide how to get the Satellite NVS-02 into the optimum orbit. The committee considering this issue has met several times in the last four days.

ISRO has Control Over The Satellite NVS-02:

All other systems on the spacecraft are fine. We are able to control the satellite. The space agency may consider operating the satellite from the available orbit, but a final decision on this is pending. The NVS02 satellite is part of India’s IRNSS, operational name NavIC. It has an indigenous atomic clock.
