India’s PSLV rocket failed to put a navigation satellite into orbit yesterday when the payload fairing did not separate.
The PSLV has had an excellent launch record, so this failure is unfortunate and a surprise. Whether it will effect that rocket’s next launch, putting two Google Lunar X-prize contestants into space, remains unknown.
We are about to leave Torry and head home. Further posts will be on the road, assuming I can get service.
