The reason behind the pressure in one of the strap-on booster motors of the GSLV flight on July 10 dropping to zero and the motor not developing enough thrust "is the point we have to go into in detail" during the failure analysis of the flight, said G. Madhavan Nair, chairman, Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO). He said he had appointed a high-power committee headed by K. Narayana to go into the failure of the GSLV-F02 (Geo-synchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle) that lifted off from Sriharikota on July 10 but plunged into the Bay of Bengal.
