ISRO satellitesISRO is making relentless effort to establish contact with GSAT-6A communication satellite after the Master Control facility in Hassan lost contact with it since today morning. The organisation is yet to ascertain the reason for the failure to communicate with the satellite.

An official source in ISRO has said that team is on the job to establish contact with the satellite. Everything depends on this effort to establish contact. If they succeed in establishing contact, only then the chances of recovery can be determined.

It is said that both the orbit raising manoeuvres were precise but the satellite suddenly stopped communication. GSAT-6A satellite was successfully launched by GSLV-F08 launch vehicle last Thursday from Sriharikota.
