ISRO Gisat failure: What does anomaly in Cryogenic Engine mean, all you need to know

ISRO’s launch of Earth Observation Satellite -3 or GISAT-1 failed due to technical anomaly in cryogenic stage after the rocket entered the lower reaches of space, here's what happened minutes after its launch.

Chennai: As seen on the official broadcast, ISRO’s highly-anticipated launch of Earth observation satellite -3 or GISAT-1 failed after the rocket entered the lower reaches of space at an altitude of about 139kms. After a flight of nearly 350 seconds(5mins 40 seconds), the rocket went off course while in space.  The first two stages of the rocket, that give initial thrust for lift-off and later carry the 52-meter tall vehicle to space performed as expected. However, shortly after the rocket switched over to the Cryogenic engine - that burns liquid hydrogen and oxygen saw a marked deviation in its planned flight path.  GSLV-F10 launch took place today at 0543 Hrs IST as scheduled. Performance of first and second stages was normal. However, Cryogenic Upper Stage ignition did not happen due to technical anomaly. The mission couldn't be accomplished as intended.
