The Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) missed out on making a new history on August 12 at 5:45 am. The GSLV-F10 rocket flew with the Earth Observation Satellite (EOS-3) but crashed just 10 seconds before the mission time. The mission control center stopped receiving signals and statistics at 6:29 a.m. from the cryogenic engine in the third stage of the rocket. Tension lines then began to appear on the faces of the scientists at the Mission Control Center.

Scientists have been waiting for a while to get statistics or more information. Later, the Mission Director called on ISRO Chief Dr. That. Gave all the information to Sivan. The ISRO president then said that a technical defect had been found in the cryogenic engine. Because of this the mission could not be completely successful.

ISRO later announced that the mission had partially failed. The live broadcast by ISRO was also stopped immediately. If the mission was successful, the satellite would have started taking pictures of India around 10:30 am. With this launch ISRO did 3 works for the first time. The first was to launch the satellite at 5:45 a.m., the second was to install the Earth Observation Satellite in Geo Orbit, and the third was to launch the Ozive Payload Fairing, meaning a large satellite into space.

The EOS-3 was launched by Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle-F10. The rocket is 52 meters high and weighs 414.75 tons. It had 3 stages.
