Agnikul puts off for third time launch of Agnibaan sub-orbital rocket

Chennai-based space start-up Agnikul Cosmos has called off the maiden launch of its 3D-printed, semi-cryogenic Agnibaan rocket about 129 seconds before lift-off citing communication issue in the onboard hardware.

the outlook is very poor today. they have been trying to get top of this propulsion leak. what seems to be happening is, it's losing propellant and as it does so, that's creating a force which is moving the spacecraft out of alignment, which means it's struggling to keep its solar panels pointing at the sun. you need to do that to top the battery up to then power your systems to be able to communicate with earth and do the other things that the spacecraft wants to do. in orderto maintain the alignment, they are firing the thrusters on the spacecraft. they're overfiring the thrusters on the spacecraft. and, of course, that is using up even more of this propellant which is rapidly depleting. so astrobotic, the company behind this mission, issued a statement overnight saying that they had perhaps a0 hours before the propellant was exhausted and that the spacecraft would start to tumble. at that point, of course,

so australia, in many ways, is a land well used to nature's extremes, but there is a growing concern that global warming is making these extremes more common and more intense. the company behind the latest american mission to soft—land on the moon has said the planned touch down may not happen. our science correspondent jonathan amos has more. the outlook is very poor today. they have been trying to on get top of this propulsion leak. what seems to be happening is it's losing propellant and as it does so, that is creating a force which is moving the spacecraft out of alignment, which means it is struggling to keep its solar panels pointing at the sun. you need to do that to top the battery up to then power your systems to be able to communicate with earth and do the other things that the spacecraft wants to do.

of its peregrine 0ne robot lander is faulty and the system is losing critical amounts of fuel, which made it difficult for the spacecraft to point its solar panels at the sun to recharge its batteries. the peregrine 0ne robot lander was launched on monday, and was due to attempt a landing on the moon late next month. joining me now is our science correspondentjonathan amos. yesterday, there seems to be some hope that they could get this craft to point to those solar panels and get things going again, but that hope seems to be fading now? yeah. hope seems to be fading now? yeah, i'm afraid hope seems to be fading now? yeah, i'm afraid the — hope seems to be fading now? yeah, i'm afraid the outlook _ hope seems to be fading now? yeah, i'm afraid the outlook is _ hope seems to be fading now? yeah, i'm afraid the outlook is very - hope seems to be fading now? yeah, i'm afraid the outlook is very poor - i'm afraid the outlook is very poor today. they have been trying to on get top of this propulsion leak. what seems to be happening is that it is losing propellant and as it does so, that is creating a force which is moving the spacecraft out of alignment, which means it is struggling to keep its solar panels pointing at the sun. you need to do

in pittsburgh, called the peregrine lunar lander, and a few hours after it separated from the vulcan rocket they ran into some issues, now we know it is one of the worst things that you can encounter in spacecrafts. that is a propellant problem. they put out a statement about an hour and a half ago, i will read it. it says, unfortunately it appears the failure within the propulsion system is causing a critical loss of propellant. the team is working to try and stabilize this loss but given the situation we have prioritized maximizing the science and data. we can capture and we are currently assessing the alternative mission profiles that may be feasible. so, that is not good. a critical loss repellent a big problem. they are now looking at alternate mission profiles. the goal, to make this the first spacecraft to land on the moon since the apollo program program in 1972, the first private company to ever do this, not a u.s. government
