RISE AND FALL: The sequence of the GSLV-F02's flight after its launch and subsequent plunge into the Bay of Bengal on Monday.
HYDERABAD: Scientists involved in the Agni-III mission began analysing the data collected from six radar and five telemetry stations to find out what exactly caused the missile to tumble into the sea after a smooth lift-off from the Wheeler Island off the coast of Orissa on Sunday. The propulsion powered by new rocket motors performed as per expectations and the causes into the deviation from the planned trajectory was being investigated, top sources in the DRDO said here on Monday. "These are complex systems and the cause of failure has to be reproduced on the ground through simulation from the collected data to take corrective action." The problem arose after 70 seconds, just before the ignition of the second stage. The complete analysis of the data might take at least a week for the scientists to come to a definite conclusion. Preliminary data indicated that 70 per cent of the mission's objectives were met.
