Trouble in Mars Mission

According to latest reports, the prestigious Mars Mission conducted by ISRO is having some trouble with its PSLV engines. The flow of fuel to main engine is stopped, while the scientists at ISRO have tried to increase the speed of the vehicle on Monday. Hence, they have fired back-up thruster engines to attain necessary speed and height.

Actually, the vehicle is supposed to be at 1,00,000 km heaight from earth and is to attain a speed of 130 meters per second. But, it is currentl at 78,000 KM height and with 30 meters per second speed. Hence, the scientists have altered the mission plan to attain the correct height and incremental velocity of 130 meters per second. 

The reason for failure of flow of fuel to main engine is blockage in the pipelines due to simultaneous operation by two coils. When, the scientists have turned on both the coils to increase the speed of the vehicle it led to blockage of fuel. However, an insider of ISRO tells that it doesn’t affect the mission at all, since the vehicle is designed to meet such intolerances and having sufficient back-ups.

If, everything goes smooth, the vehicle will be directed towards Mars in a sling shot action at the end of this month. After travelling 10months continuously, the satellite will be placed into Mars orbit on September 24th next year. If, India could achieve these rare feet and then it would be one among those pride nations, which successfully placed their satellites in Mars orbit.
