Insat 4C
2007-037A
Launch by GSLV in Sep 2007. At 83s after launch a control actuator stuck and roll rates built up, causing premature SOM shutdown with a 120m/s underspeed. The inertial measurement unit lost reference as well, and as a result the insertion inclination was 15.8 deg instead of the planned value, presumably 19.5 deg, and the apogee was low. The payload was able to make up the insertion errors.
Mass is 2130 kg full 941 kg dry. Size is 1.6 x 1.5 x 2.4m box + 2 panels span 9.5m.
