Sriharikota (Andhra Pradesh), Jul 18 : The launch of the country’s first private orbital rocket was put on “planned hold” here on Saturday but the ALS is likely to resume soon, sources said.
The Vikram-1 rocket built by Skyroot Aerospace was scheduled to lift off at 11.30 am. The hold was apparently due to navigation issues.
It was not immediately known what a “planned hold” is but sources added that the Automated Launch Sequence (ALS) was likely to resume soon and the launch time was rescheduled for 12.05 pm Saturday.
