'Will come back soon with SSLV-D2', says ISRO after SSLV-D1 deviates

The Indian Space Research Organisation, or ISRO, launched its smallest rocket, carrying an earth observation satellite EOS-02 and a student satellite AzaadiSAT from the spaceport in Sriharikota on July 7. However, ISRO released a statement saying that the satellites onboard its maiden SSLV "are no longer usable" after the SSLV-D1 placed them in an elliptical orbit instead of a circular one. Earlier, the mission suffered a data loss in its terminal phase. The space agency said that a committee would analyse and make recommendations for today's episode.
