48 hours after launch, Isro goes silent on GSAT

GSAT发射48小时后 印度空间研究组织沉默了

Chethan Kumar | TNN

BENGALURU: Less than 48 hours after the Thursday launch of GSAT-6A, one of India's biggest communication satellites with military applications, celebration gave way to suspense at the Indian Space Research Organisation (Isro) on Saturday.

班加罗尔：距周四印度成功发射一枚GSAT-6A型军用通信卫星不足48小时，印度空间研究组织(Isro)周六的庆祝活动成了悬念。

A source said the second orbit-raising exercise around 10am went off well, with the liquid apogee motor (LAM) firing as planned, but a few minutes later there were some "hitches in communication". Soon, top Isro scientists went into a huddle.

有消息称，上午10点左右，液体远地点发动机按计划启动，第二次变轨顺利进行，但几分钟后出现了一些“通讯故障”。很快，印度空间研究组织顶尖的科学家们陷入了困境。

The customary official statement on the manoeuvre, like the one after the first such exercise at 9.22am on Thursday, did not happen. Neither was there word on the third orbit raising exercise. Scientists either remained incommunicado or claimed ignorance of the health of the satellite. Isro chairman K Sivan chaired a marathon meeting on Saturday.

此次变轨官方并没有像周四上午9点22分首次变轨后发布正式声明。对第三次变轨也没有任何只言片语。科学家们要么保持沉默，要么声称对卫星的安全一无所知。印度空间研究组织主席K Sivan主持了周六的马拉松会议。

Orbit-raising manoeuvres are done to change satellites’ closest and farthest points from earth, besides their inclination.

变轨既是为了改变卫星的近地点和远地点，也是为了调整轨道倾角。

莫迪跟ISRO一点关系都没有，不能怪他。

This is a defence satellite; what info is the media expecting and how much can it trust even if the info is made available. Go back to the field and search for new stories. Nothing to see here!

这是一颗军用卫星；媒体能知道什么消息？就算透露的消息，又有多少可信度？还是回到发射地点去看看有没有什么新消息。这里什么都看不到。

Precision manoevres take time and are not discussed until full functionality. Taking into consideration certain additional " critical" features included, the capabilities will have to be validated over a period of time and even shown as part failure not to attract undue attention and counters.

精确的操作需要时间，等到成功后再讨论也不迟。考虑一下某些“关键”特征，有些能力需要较长的时间来证明，没必要在意一时的失败。

Even if this mission fails, it is going to be a learning for future missions. And I really appreciate the efforts made by scientists for this mission.

就算这次任务失败了，可以为以后的任务积累经验。非常感谢科学家们为这次任务所做的努力。

Media will now work overtime to let the world know that this launch was probably a failure. This is the real face of Indian media.

媒体应该正在加班加点地让世界都知道这次发射很可能失败了。这就是印度媒体的真面目。

Prestitudes planted by Pappu have immediately started blaming Modi of mission failure. Points to be noted that all scams being exposed today about politicians, bureaucrats and organizations have been working with their modus oprandi long before Modi govt took over. Congress govt allowed them to do so with hand in gloves. Now the scams being exposed almost every week naturally Pappu is pointing fingers towards Modi. This point to be noted.

拉胡尔的人马上就开始指责莫迪任务失败了。值得注意的是，今天所暴露关于政客、官僚和组织都是在莫迪政府接管之前就已经开始运作了。国大党政府允许他们这样做。现在，几乎每周都有大量的骗局被曝光，拉胡尔则对莫迪指指点点。这一点值得注意。
