ISRO's 100th rocket mission, launched on Wednesday, faced a technical glitch. The NVS-02 satellite, which was to be placed in a geostationary orbit, encountered an issue when the thruster valves failed to open for orbit raising. As a result, the satellite remains in an elliptical orbit, and its designated tasks may be delayed or abandoned. ISRO is working on alternative strategies for the satellite’s use. The NVS-02 is part of India’s NavIC system, which provides regional GPS services. This glitch follows a series of previous challenges faced by other NavIC satellites.
