New Delhi (PTI) Aug 04, 2006 A failure analysis committee has been set up to ascertain reasons for GSLV crash last month, Rajya Sabha was informed today. The committee which has been set up with experts from ISRO, academia and national research laboratory to ascertain the reasons for failure of GSLV-F02 is expected to submit its findings within a month, Minister of State in the Prime Minister's Office Prithviraj Chavan said in a written reply. While there is disappointment at the failure of the GSLV, scientists are aware of the risks involved in the complex technology and are determined to overcome the problem and continue to work with renewed vigour, he said. "The failure of GSLV-F02 mission will not affect on-going programmes of ISRO such as Cartosat-2 launch with PSLV-C7, development of GSLV-MKIII and Chandrayaan-I programme," Chavan told Nominated member Shobhana Bhartia in a written reply. The current failure is only a setback on the GSLV programme, the Minister said. He said as many as 20 vehicles have been flown since 1980 including the recent flight of GSLV-F02, adding out of these, 4 flights have been failure.
