China-launched Indonesian satellite fails to enter orbit
(Xinhua)
Updated: 2009-08-31 23:03 XICHANG: Indonesian communications satellite Palapa D failed to enter a preset orbit after being launched at 5:28 pm Monday at the Xichang Satellite Launch Center in southwest China.
The first and second stages of the rocket entered space normally, but the third stage failed during a second-time ignition. Experts are investigating. The Palapa D satellite, owned by Indonesian satellite communications company Indosat, would have provided satellite links and broadcasting services for Indonesia and other southeastern Asian nations. Indosat ordered the Palapa D satellite from the French company ThalesAlenia Space in 2007. |
