The Indian Space Research Organisation ISRO worried due to a recent development and are worried that the Prestigious Chandrayan Project may face deep trouble as it approaches the Moon.A key component, which helps guide it, has malfunctioned. It developed a technical malfunction and came close to failure but space scientists salvaged the Rs 400 crore satellite which is now operational though crippled.
Space scientists got over the star sensor failure within a week by activating the satellite's gyroscope and put the spacecraft back into normal operation, Indian Space Research Organisation Chairman G Madhavan Nair said.
Nair however said more than 90 per cent of the scientific and mission objectives had already been achieved, and dismissed suggestions that the sensor failure might reduce the lifespan of the spacecraft.
