ISRO's plan to place an earth observation satellite failed as the rocket GSLV-F10 did not place the satellite EOS-03 into the intended orbit due to a technical anomaly identified in the cryogenic stage. (Pic Courtesy: PTI)

The GSLV-F10/EOS-03 successfully lifted off from the launch pad at the spaceport as planned at 05.43 am after the countdown concluded. (Pic Courtesy: PTI)

Scientists at the Mission Control Centre said the performance of the rocket in the first and second stages was normal. However, it was announced by the Range Operations Director "mission could not be accomplished fully due to performance anomaly". (Pic Courtesy: PTI)

The objective of Thursday's mission was to provide near real-time imaging of large area regions at frequent intervals, for quick monitoring of natural disasters, episodic events and obtain spectral signatures for agriculture, forestry, water bodies as well as for disaster warning, cyclone monitoring, cloud burst and thunderstorm monitoring.
