Indian Satellite Lost in Launch Explosion 208
An anonymous reader writes "BBC News is reporting that the recent communications satellite launch in India has met with disaster. The satellite, designed to enhance India's telephone and communications network, was lost when the rocket carrying it veered off course and exploded. This is the second disappointment in recent launch attempts, coming just one day after the failed long-range ballistic missile test launch."

They have had 12 successful commercial launches in a row, a good record. But now they're 0 for 2 in their last to big launch attempts.
Note to self, stay out of the Bay of Bengal when they're launching. ;-)
