HamSat won't make it

By Our Staff Reporter

BANGALORE OCT. 8. A payload dedicated to amateur radio, HamSat, which was to be a co-passenger of a remote sensing satellite on board a PSLV later this month, will not make the trip.

An official release from ISRO said here on Wednesday that the HamSat was to be launched as an auxiliary payload using the launch capacity of PSLV. But, during the "thermo-vacuum test of HamSat, deviations in the performance of the HAM payload were observed. After required corrections, HamSat will be accommodated on one of the subsequent flights of PSLV.
