ISRO eyes GISAT-1A launch to mend faulty launch streak

Attention turned to ISRO's GISAT-1A mission as the space agency looks to end a run of faulty launches. GISAT-1A is the second attempt to place the satellite in orbit: the rocket carrying the original GISAT-1 in 2021 failed, destroying that satellite. A successful launch would help restore confidence in ISRO's launch reliability.
