The PSLV-C39 rocket, which failed to launch the IRNSS 1H satellite on 31st August 2017, was
dragged down by at least one tonne of extra weight from the unseparated heat shield after the
second stage, its velocity reduced by one kilometer per second.
This greatly reduced the altitude it was to reach for a successful mission, say scientists privy to
the project.
Former Isro Satellite Centre director SK Shivakumar said: "The launch vehicle was carrying at
least one tonne more than its design permitted it, as the heat shield did not separate. This
affected its velocity. For example, it should have attained a velocity of 9.5km per second at the
end of it but attained only 8.5km per second."
The heat shield is meant to protect the satellite from the heat generated due to friction against
atmosphere during takeoff.
